I wonder what ship is this (seen "under the nose of the airplane"): I think its Udaloy-class; the journalist only mentioned "heavy anti-submarine vessel" ... thanks!

Planes are unarmed , so this is more photo-op then real deployment .

Most likely yes , note radars on top of the mast :
Thud you got lucky!
Not only it's Udaloy class, but it's Admiral Levchenko, pennant number 605, as you picture shows LOL Source (I could've found it using google in the morning, but wasn't in the mood until now):
Confirmation:
Yes, and you can tell it is a Udaloy DDG and not the single Udaloy II DDG that the Russians have because the Udaloy II has a single mount twin barreled 130mm gun forward instead of the two guns.
Very nice work guys!

Here's the video showing the Admiral Chabanenko, pennant number 650 (the only ship of the Udaloy II class); since 00:50 the ship shoots the twin 130 mm АК-130 probably faster than I could shoot a revolver
P.S. For me it's always a problem to refer to a ship using the pronoun "she" when I know the ship was NOT named after a woman
Just in case: says АНДРЕЙ ТРОФИМОВИЧ ЧАБАНЕНКО (1909-1986) became an admiral in 1953 etc.
