22800 are good, but from what I see, they are most likely going to be coastal and river based (European theatre) long range strikers.
What about radar panels on the mast? I thought they were getting it on the mast.

21631 with 16-cell VLS needs to be perused in addition to the 22800, to make numbers for that small yet effective strike assets for the navy, considering no ships of 11356 or 22350 class is going to come off the slip in decent numbers in the next 5 years.

That navy cat looks like a proper member of that sub, wonder how many dives she undertook till now. Btw, Russian’s love for animals (particularly the cats) is unparalleled. 😎
That curious factory cat was just cute.

The first batch of anti-aircraft missiles, Sayyad 3 air defense troops transferred to Iran.
Max Range – 120Km
Max Altitude – 27Km

Maybe they should employ it in Syria and check its effectiveness?

A combat drone AR-10 proposal based on the light trainer/combat aircraft SR-10. Another good thing is the use of AL-55 engine.

Couple of good reports from Vesti

Some more good & large snaps from the recently concluded exercises.

VKD decked up with 18 x MiG-29K/KUB looks bizzare, particularly the 3 fighters lined up at the front.

7. In 2016, with Russian jets from the Kuznetsov over western Syria, Rafale crews operating in the area were tasked with entering airspace to acquire something they didn’t have: the attack mode of a Russian Su-33 radar. Two Rafales used their SPECTRA integrated electronic warfare systems on a 90 minute mission that finally ended in success. “It was a small but very important mission, and it helped sharpen how we use electronic warfare and signature acquisition in some of the most difficult and crowded airspace in the world,” a pilot who was in one of the Rafales says.

In other words, the Rafales fled the area when the Su-33s that were tracking it changed over to attack mode.
Now, lets see if the Russians will come out with their combat exposure in Syria and how they were successfully tracking Spectra equipped Rafale-Ms for any mischiefs.
