Well the Pacific Fleet as of now is a crappy shape isn’t it? I’d assume if the Americans came by in a bad mood that the only way they’d survive is if they got up every possible Backfire-C at Alekseyevka..

Severo we should create some sort of website about the modern russian navy, what do you say.. a really good one u know, with links on the site to weapons systems, radars, etc..

Severo, what happend to the other 2-3 Sovremennys in the Pacific Fleet?

The defensive bias is fine, as long as they can hold out against whatever anyone can throw at them.

If they need to “take care” of things elsewhere, there’s always the strategic bombers (now with their new Kh-101/555 missiles) and the ICBMs/SLBMs…

right, so what’s the final loadout in a Russian Navy boat? 😛 Like I mentioned above?

also, any news on if any have been built.. 2 Bora Class Corvettes have been built already, so the Russian navy seems to be funding these light boats.. and that Neustrashimiy (Urans and Kastans here right?)

Seems the new Russian Navy policy is not to contend with the US navy in size and number … but to simply outgun them (and other opponents, but lets face it, it’s mostly the US that tries to intimidate other nations with its CVBGs)

so…instead of more Kirovs, Slavas, Sovremennys…build light attack boats like Tarantul-3 (well not anymore), Bora, Scorpion with powerful antiship missiles like the Moskit and Yakhont..which have an advantage in being cheap, fast and harder to detect than a larger capital ship..

btw.. what’s the AK-630 and how ermm “good” is it? seems to be mounted on loads of russian ships.. never cared to examine it though 😐
