    Ah! So “Gaidak” is probably an attempt to avoid jokes in English. πŸ˜‰

    ΠΉ is transliterated Y or I depending on taste, & I think I is better in this case, but Ρƒ is definitely U.

    Yes, therefore the closest pronounciation transcription is Hi-dook. Ukrainians pronounce G as a mix of g anf h, almost like Dutch.

    The launch has been postponed for a week, too cold weather (minus 25-30) is cited as reason.

    Almaz-Antey reports saids that MOD was demonstrated with KM-SAM and the Vityaz system will be much more superior to KM-SAM.

    They say that KM-SAM is the Vityaz modified with foreign components and thanks to this contract they were able to prove the system to Russian MoD and the Vityaz for Russian armed forces will have better performance.:rolleyes:

    You got me all confused there.

    What does the short range Morfey have to do with the long range S-500?

    Also, what do we know so far about the Morfey?

    Morfey is supposed to be the short range self-defence component of S-500 system.

    Regarding KM-SAM, what exactly is Almaz-Antey’s share of the system? The missiles are often alleged to be 9M96 variants, but seem to lack canard controls – in many ways they resemble the 9M100 more closely. Is the radar Korean or Russian? Primeportal has a nice walk-around of the radar vehicle:

    Almaz-Antey claims that KM-SAM is export version of Vityaz, using some Western components.

    There doesn’t seem to be anything official on it apart from the name mentioned here and there.

    ‘Snake’ mentioned on one of these threads some time ago that it has 4 channels per face (4 x 4)…..not sure if his willing to share more with us.

    Well, the 4 channels per face come from the fact that each face consists of 4 modules. Keeping in mind, that 9M96 is active radar missile, only midcourse updates are required. Therefore, the number of channels is quite conserative.

    Vityaz SAM is considered to be the land based counterpart of Redut/Poliment. You can have a look at it’s export version – South Korean KM-SAM, Almaz-Antey has delivered three units by now.

    I attach pictures of elements of 42Ya6 APAR for Morfey short-range SAM which is under development by Almaz-Antey as part of S-500 system. This gives quite good appreciation of components used in Poliment as well.

    That’s true, Balancer’s forums have a lot of insiders contributing.

    The 20380’s have composite masts, no reason to think the entire superstructure will be steel, highly unlikely in fact.

    Entire superstructure on 20380 is composite, not only masts. This is one of the reasons for slow build – only one plant in Russia has the technology. The superstructure is not sturdy enough – in fresh weather Puma and Furke have problems.

    22350 superstructure is almost totally steel.

    First of class, new ship handling system, very tight waters for an SSN. Not a great advert for the service, but, not as bad as what happened to the leadship of the S-class boats!.

    What exactly is first of class with a new handling system testing in so tight waters for an SSN so early in the test phase?

    While we wait for the Gorshkov launch, here are a few photos of the SOOBRAZITELNY. Yhe images are several weeks old.

    The first is from July, the second is even older.

    It shares no direct legacy with the Talwar/Krivak line.

    Just the same design bureau and it’s a frigate of similar dimensions πŸ˜‰
