Hi Snake65!

Do you manage accurate info related to any Admiral Kuznetsov modernization?, in some spanish forum, there was also this news regarding naval version of “Pantsir”, but I will take your word regarding the qualifications of the above mentioned reporter.

Did the Kulakov received a new BIUS?, or still keeping the old Lesorub-55?

Kulakov has Lesorub alright, slightly modified to account for Pozitiv and Gibka.

Boilers changed to KVG-3D like on Gorshkov, the faulty TV-12 turbine replaced, Granits abandoned – space may be used for weapon storage, abandoning the useless Mars-Passat, lengthening of the hangar space aft like on Varyag and rearrangement of hangar and deck parking space.
Cat and Palica (naval Pantsyr) – highly unlikely, just for trials, perhaps.

Vice Admiral Kulakov after modernization. Note that the pennant number is not completed yet at the moment this photo was taken. It is now number 659.

The interesting thing is the Positiv on the fock-mars. Allegedly it’s role is target acquisition for Gibka.

My image of the Udaloy class has lost a bit of shine today 🙁

No need of that;)
Kinzhal was just late for the first three of them

So it is a naval version of the VITYAZ ?

By the way Snake65,

How many more Pr 20380 ships are under construction? Is there one being built in the far east?

Or Vityaz is the land based of Redut?;)
2 are in SPB and 1 in Komsomolsk, although the last one did not get much past the laying down section. She may be eventually scrapped. I expect the next hull to be laid down soon in SPB – the lengthened version.

So this Corvette has the anti-ship firepower of the new Sergei Gorshkov frigate? :confused:

Don’t lose your time on Krylov Central Research Institute “vapourware”:D

Huh? So there then only remains a single Cross Sword / Podkat MR-360 on the Udaloy, for FC of 8×8 Khinzal? That’s insane?!

😮

No, only the aft Kinzhal is instalated, so it’s 4×8.

Rumor is that the 2nd Stereguschiy has “Redut-K” which is part of a 9M96 missile complex?? Would it have the 9M62E2 120KM missile?

Also, are the Stereguschiys getting Klub or the boring old Uran?

It’s not a rumour. The missile is 40km version. Pozitiv-M2 radar instead of Furke.
