Doesn’t the Lada have major problems with its sonar suite?

Well, thanks. But they look more like LPDs than LCACs.

Any news on the Zubr?:)

According to the Bharat Rakshak forums there’s a project underway at DARE(Defence Avionics Research Establishment) to create a MAWS with assistance from EADS. Supposedly a combined system(RWR + LWR + MAWS) is already being tested.

For a medium-range SAM 40km is good. The eventual destroyers will handle long-range air defence. Now if only there was any information on the Poliment radar…:confused: I wonder if it has any relation to the C-band AESA radar that was developed by the Ukraininan Kvant Radiological Bureau a few years ago…

– Yes. Speculations and insider tidbits. It’s not for export yet 😀

– At least the first hull may have Fregat+ for volume search, atlhough Poliment is expected to provide volume search there are no specs on capacity and range

– Redut-K is the “shorter” part of S-400 – SAM Vityaz’, so it has nothing to do with Shtil

– 91R is the anti-sub missile of Club family and has nothing to do with cancelled Medvedka

– Well, could you drop a few juicy tidbits? Like, what is the range for fighter-sized targets?

– I thought Fregat was an Air Search radar? Volume search is usually relegated to something like Garpun-B or Poberezovik.

– Interesting about the Redut-K. If the Russians developed a universal VLS they could have a combination of medium and long range SAMs like the Aster-15/30.

– I thought Medvedka was going to be on the new 20380 corvettes?

Project 22350: Poliment APAR providing volume search and FCS for Redut-K SAM with 9M96 and 9M100 missiles, Furke or Pozitiv-M1.2 target acquisition for Palash CIWS, Puma FCS for A-192 130mm gun, Monolit target acquisition for Onyx/Brahmos, Zarya-M2/Minotavr sonar suite for target acquisition for Club (91R anti-submarine missile) and Paket-NK. Anything else?

Yeah.:D

-Is there any information on the Poliment radar? Brochures, news articles, specs…

-Is Poliment serving the roles of both Long-range Volume Search and Air Search/Target Acquisition or is there a second radar like Fregat for Air Search?

-Is the Redut-K SAM a derivative of Shtil or an all-new system? What are its parameters?

-Is the 91R anti-sub missile part of the RPK-9 Medvedka system?

Thank you.

It is clearly visible under the tailcone in the BW wireframe above (which has filename j15g.jpg)
As for the photographs, most are too blurry to tell.

This pic, however, I think you can distinguish the hook under the tailcone.

Sorry. All I see is a little black silhouette that’s more likely someone in the background.
