I wish to see the “modernized” Admiral Nakhimov, with new radars, and new launchers. Unfortunatelly the new prezident which is Ultra liberal, Dmitry Medvedev has decided to scrapp all Kirov class cruisers. The Kirov has been already scrapped in sevmash. Also as I know Medvedev wants to cansell the modernization of Nakhimov. So we will never see these beatyfull vessels in the sea anymore, the only thing I pray for it is to see the in 1/350 scale from Trumpeter.
New president? Weren’t you supposed to say the candinate? And despite if he wins, as long as Putin is anyway near Krelm, there’s no question who is pulling the strings. And wasen’t it the Medvedev who said while visiting Severomorsk that VMF needs to be re-esthabilis? Anyway these things are hardly the topic here, lets just focus on the ships, ok?
And the beaty of Shipbucket is that you can make any possiple upgrade to the ships that wish…
Outstanding artwork, but one minor nitpick: the Kirov artwork isn’t accurate for Pyotr Veliky, as the forward TOP DOME was replaced with a TOMB STONE for supporting the 48N6 missiles of the S-300FM complex.
It not supposed to be. This image is from the Kirov herself, not from the class. All other, Frunze, Kalinin and Petr Velikiy all varies from each others by various systemfits. All other have AK-130 in place of the two AK-100 and Kalinin and Petr Velikiy substitutes AK-630s with Kortiks.
I will draw the other ships as well sometime near future.
If You’ll change name of Krivak 3 to Воровский, it will be almost perfect:diablo:
Hmm…I did her according to this one: 
Remember Gollevainen can afford to be amused by Putin, the missiles aren’t pointed at him…
And he has to be respectful since Finland appearently learned its lesson about crossing the bear back in the 40s……
Oh no, Its the otherway around…It was Soviets who came rambling around our backyard in the 40’s…and it was them who learned the lesson:dev2:
But yeas we did learn as well the fact that there is a superpower right next to us and we just have to live with it. We even learned how to benefit from this (economically) but sadly after the 15 of hypernation, we have crown apart with the bear:(
No its not.
Hah, I really, REALLY want to hear the explanation for this…So when thread starts with “more Russian porn”, its not bashing? So if I would start a thread about american military exersice with “more yankee jerking off…”, would you call it bashing? Just out of curiosity, if you are about to start a thread in some porn-site about latest slavic pornstars, would you call it “Tu-160 takes part ot missile firing exersice in the coast of Spain”???
Ok Soviet neverwheres and what-if part I:
Some carrier programs…
Starting from the uploading order:
1. Carrier derivate of the Project 69 battlecruiser
2. Proposed helicopter carrier version in pr. 68bis cruiser hull
3. Project 1160 nuclearpowered carrier, the first Orel
4. Project 1153 nuclearpowered carrier, the seccond Orel
5. Pr. 10800 Khalsan, ASW helicopter carrier version from the Atlantika class Ro-ro ship
6. Project 11780, amphibious assault ship project
7. Proposed helicopter /VSTOL carrier
8. Preliminary suggestion for pr. 1126 helo carrier
9. Another one
10. Pr. 85, Medium carrier project (similar size to Foch and Clemencau)
Oh yeas truly constructive, you can almoust build a house from it:eek: 😮
So you really see no bashing? The whole thread name is bashing for starter..
Its the truth. Everybody exercises, we dont get all upset when any other country exercises its forces do we?
Yeas exactly…
…then why to get upsetted when russians exercise? If Sweden sails to the coast of Spain and fires few RBS-15, would there be thread tittled “more swedish porn”? Or any other country for that matter?. I doupt. But when russia does it, suddenly all this ranting and bashing.
What makes this whole thing more than just “everyone exercises”-type of notice is that this is the first time in russian era when something like this happens. It deserves attention and constructive discussion but unfortunately the issue is being ruined from the start.
They are doing an exercise with a bunch of rusty old warships and a few planes………..nothing scary at all
Then again why all this childish ranting and dishmissing and minimalizing? Why cannot you for example make a truly un-emotional and objective comments over it and not going for “rusty ships” and stuff? If it isen’t fear then what it is?
Yeah nice thread…When I get home, I try to post all the important soviet never-where’s and what ifs…
Ps, as a wish-list, there were model of possible bigger version of SK Ulsan desing for Taiwan that featured SM-1 launcher and helo-hangar…Anyone got that pic? (it used to be on older recarnation of http://www.china-defense.com/forum)
I didn’t raise the Kh-65 in some pro-russian militaryfan jerking off-kind a way. Apparently I just revealed my noobnes in this particular area as I wasen’t aware (or at least didn’t remember) that Kh-65 never entered service.
My question was in the nature of what missiles would be used and I just thorwed the Kh-65 as example (hence the questionmark behind the sentence).
My old Merzedez drinks around 9 liters per 100 km and 1 litre of bensin cost approx. 1.40 € at the moment.
Now last time when the gasoline prizes were discussed in here, Americans had to pay around half of what we europeans have to pay….not to mention those ridicilous SUVs propably eats douple that of my mersu which by our standarts is one hell of a drinker!!
This americans trying excuse themselves from the fact that their country consumes numerically and relatively more than anyone else is mere BS. Its equally ridicilous to point the fingers towards european nations. Yeas we consume and polute alot too, but at least in here there are strickt restrictions and governments that actually give a damn about whole issue…The bensin pize is good and painfull reminder of that.
…There should be some swedish greeneis taking over the governing of USA for few years, I bet my hat that that way if not all, but alot of current proplems would be solved and world would be one step closer to the right path..;)
Finland (almost 90% of US consumption per head, a higher usage per unit of GDP – but it’s explicable by its industrial base. Low population density, BTW.
Yeap…tough, alot of our energy is comming from either biomass or natural gas…
Nice!!!
Neverwhere’s should not be hidden to the deeps of one’s computer, they need to be out here…othervice they always remains neverwhere’s and worse, neverheards….
Thanks again
“When the bear roars, all the pro-western forumlingers ****s their pants…”
Its freaking hilarious:dev2:
But on more serious note, is it Kh-65 that they are firing down there?
Thanks Santi for the answer…
If you know any place or have any pictures of Spanish “Newer wheres” of the post war period I would be greatly preciated.
One that has been on my mind, is the “Enlarged Descurbierta” class with possible helicopter hangar that was mentioned in Convays book.
Well the question is then, Who is up to the task? I can draw few once in a while but the ships takes most of my drawing time at the moment and in near future.
I can however draw one or two “instruction” images and draft some ease guides of how to draw and then perhaps anyone can do it
