As I understand it, the S-300s Russia is deploying to Belarus are systems being replaced by the S-400s, as part of the Moscow defense system?

And just across the cove (that would be Krashennininikova Cove) here’s Kamchatka shipyard- check out this Oscar II- it looks like she’s in the middle of refit! (you can zoom in more, of course- her port side Granit launchers are exposed it seems)

EDIT: another sub in drydock nearby

Yay me 🙂

The best place to hunt for Pacific Fleet ships is to go to NTI.org and look at their maps of Pacific Fleet naval facilities, I’m hunting away right now, though the pickings will be slimmer since the satellite coverage is a bit spottier.

FOUND HER!!!

Admiral Lazarev is currently at Bolshoy Kamen, at the vicinity of Vostok Shipyard and Zvezda Shipyard!

43deg07’34.46 and 132deg19’51.54

Another reason for the Velikiy being the one at Severomorsk is that both ex-Ushakov and Nakhimov have good reason to be at Severodvinsk- the former so they can figure out just how on Earth they’re going to scrap her, and the latter for her refit and upgrade. The Typhoon there is probably Dmitry Donskoy.

Cool- what’s the coordinates I should be looking at? Well, we can see the Pytor Velikiy, the Admiral Nakhihov (currently being upgraded) and the ex–Admiral Ushakov (being scrapped). All that’s left is the Admiral Lazarev, which must be somewhere near Vladivostok, though not, apparently, where my sources from 2002 say it is.

I’ve been trying to find Admiral Lazarev (the Pacific Fleet Kirov-class) which last I heard was moored in Abrek Cove. I’m not sure if it’s there, however there are other seemingly military ships there. Anyone wanna take a look? It’s right next to Vladivostok (obviously)- due East. I’d link it, if I had the foggiest notion how.
