More Talwars for India. Two ships will be build in Russia and two in India.

Does anyone know if these two ships which will be build in Russia are going to be two ships from trio of Admiral Butakov, Admiral Istomin and Admiral Kornilov? It kind of would make sense to sell them and build more of them later, if needed, when new engines becomes available. Or just build more Project 22350 class ships.

There maybe a thread about this somewhere but I didn’t see it, so I will mention this here. This is a HUGE deal for China.

That is interesting news. I assume they are talking about the new Zubr design.

Central Marine Design Bureau (CMDB) “Diamond” (part of the USC) developed a preliminary design of a hovercraft (SVP) of the new generation on the basis of “Zubr”, he told RIA Novosti on Tuesday the head of marketing department of scientific and technical information “Almaz” Dmitriy Tsygankov .

“We have prepared an initiative study of a new generation of SAP-based” Bison. ” If you build it earlier, “Bison” – a Soviet project, we are talking about a completely new project.
