Well Udaloy's are quite recognizable from it's uniq featuers as well as other soviet warships. Udaloy's have lattice masts where as Sovremenyy's have closed masts. Also Udaloys have clear front mast and main mast arragments where a Sovremenyys have only a frontmast.
Accordingly the orbat of the Russian Pacific Fleet consists of four Udaloys (one in repairs due to a fire last September); one Sovremenny, and one Slava called Varyag. The Slava recently made a trip to South Korea for some ceremonial event there that was also attended internationally by other ships, including China's own DDG 112 and FFG 527.
The active sub fleet seems quite impressive with four Delta IIIs, one of whom did the Bulova testing in the Sea of Okhost last September; three Akula Is and probably the scariest of all, three Oscar IIs. They are backed by 8 Kilos SSKs.

yeah, now that you mention this, it should've been pretty obvious if i looked carefully at the picture.
They got some pictures showing the return of 112 and 527 from South Korea also.
Japanese Navy was tracking a formation of four Chinese warships.
据日本共同社报道，日本防卫省20日宣布，日本海上自卫队的P—3C巡逻机19日傍晚在青森县龙飞崎海域的津轻海峡观察到中国海军驱逐舰和护卫舰共计4艘。这4艘军舰在津轻海峡的公海区域从日本海驶向太平洋。防卫省称，这是首次在该海域观察到中国海军的驱逐舰，“可能是一般训练，是否有其他目的尚不清楚”。
据共同社报道，4艘军舰为现代级驱逐舰和江凯Ⅱ级护卫舰。后者是中国海军的新型军舰。共同社称，日本海上自卫队17日下午在长崎县对马市海域也观测到江凯Ⅱ级护卫舰以及中国供给船。当时中国军舰在对马市北侧偏西北约16公里的公海上航行。日本防卫省当时称，与日本海上自卫队2006年12月在冲绳本岛海域观察到的护卫舰相比，中国军舰的导弹装载能力有所提高。
对于中国军舰的活动，日本一向异常关注。今年9月14日，日本曾宣称其海上自卫队军舰在日本领海内发现“不明国籍潜艇 ”，有日本军事专家据此臆断该“潜艇”为“中国潜艇”。而在几天之后，《东京新闻》等日本媒体报道说，防卫省和自卫队方面称，很可能是将鲸误认为潜艇。▲ （李羿辰）
According to Japan's Kyodo News reported that the Japanese ministry of defense announced on the 20th, Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force P-3C patrol aircraft in the evening on the 19th in Aomori Prefecture Kawasaki Longfei waters of the Tsugaru Strait to observe the Chinese navy frigates and destroyers, a total of 4. This 4 warships in the Tsugaru Strait on the high seas of the region from the Pacific towards the Sea of Japan. Ministry of defense said it would be the first time in the area observed the Chinese Navy destroyer, "may be training in general, not any other purpose is not clear."
According to Kyodo News reported that 4 of the modern warship-class destroyers and Ⅱ Jiang Kai-class frigates. The latter is a new type of Chinese naval warships. Kyodo said the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force 17 in the afternoon in the city of Nagasaki Prefecture to the sea horse is also observed Ⅱ Jiang Kai-class frigates as well as China's supply ship. At that time, Chinese warships in Malaysia on the north side of the city of NATO's 16 km west of navigation on the high seas. Japan's ministry of defense said at the time, with Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force in December 2006 in the waters of the main island of Okinawa observed frigate, the Chinese warships carrying missile capacity has increased.
==============================================================
Someone should give them a clue that these four ships were the same ones headed to Vladivostok for a port visit. Yes, these are the same ships that were in the pictures above, Ships Sovremenny 138, Jiangkai 525 and 529 and possibly another ESF Jiangkai or Jiangwei. We didn't see 529 in the Vladivostok visit right, but its likely only because we don't have enough pictures as well as pictures of the fourth ship? That fourth ship might either be 526 or 530.
Addendum; Japanese pictures point to the fourth ship as replenishment vessel 886.

Just bumping this thread and posting some of the recent photos of the Sovs in PLAN. It looks like 136 to 138 are parked together whereas 139 is next to 862 (submarine tender?). The thing about sovs is that we don't really see it out in the sea that much. It's a persistent and troubling sign that all of the imported naval ships like sovs and kilos spend so much time at the docks rather than out in the oceans.

Sometime when that happen, it make me wonder if the Chinese actually encountered some technical problems with their imported products that we do not know about, so they are not going to sail them often.
