Liking her lines. What of p22356 for IN?
I have not seen any rumours about India considering project 22356. Maybe later but I doubt that India would be interested in buying project 22356 until the next talwar batch have been delivered. Assuming the talwar deal will happen. I am also pretty sure Russia would have some serious problems to build 22356s for India in a time schedule which would satisfied India.
Would anyone happen to have pictures of P15A and P28 on sea trials?
I have not seen recent pics but here is one which I saw a while back. It is not a great pic but I have been told that taking these kind of pics in Indian shipyards is a big NO-NO.
Nice family portrait.

I have seen some estimate that Iribis is about 60% complete while others have said more like 40% complete. Does anyone know which one is closer if neither?
So, it is reported that in June 2010 requested the President of Ukraine Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Industrial Policy of Ukraine, as well as the state of “Ukrspecexport” was ordered to hold talks with Russia to sell the ship.

More rumors about ukrainian cruiser. Not really sure what that price is for. It sounds too much for the hull and too little for completed cruiser.
I guess they do not talk about a Project 705K, but probably about another Project 671?
They are talking about Iribis which is sometimes also referred as Irbis. Do not know which name is correct. Anyway, they are talking about Project 971 (Akula/Shchuka).
