Naval strategic capabilities: an ongoing renewal.
Russian strategic naval forces are, with the strategic missile troops and strategic air forces, a pillar of Russia's nuclear triad. They have known since 2013 for a substantial renewal to maintain and upgrade their abilities, with admission to active duty for new SSBN Project 955 Borei and commissioning of strategic ballistic missile Bulava. The Project 955 Borei SSBNs and derivative (Borei-M) must constitute the backbone of the Russian naval deterrent and replace SSBN Project 667BDR breathless and those of 667BDRM Project.

The Kamov Ka-226 "Sergei" it's descended from the Hoodlum it uses Kamov's coaxial rotor system It has a Cousin the KA126 Hoodlum B that serves as a link between the Hoodlum and Sergei . Hoodlum and Sergei are twin engine well Hoodlum B was a single engine. This family of choppers is light camparable to a K-Max. but where a K-max is a Crane only Hoodlum , Hoodlum B and Sergei have a unique feature ripped right form Gerry Anderson productions. note where the landing gear is located on the chopper. 2 small gears under the nose two large located on there own spars starting from above the cabin not from the cabin. "So?"
The crew cabin in this image is a removable module
Here it is with out the cabin. in this configuration it's air crane
I am amazed Kamov never tried to scale a derivative of this to blackhawk class
Reminds me of a Sikorsky CH-54 Tarhe
Tu-160 the more big bomber, VVS have 16 based mainly to Engels, 121 Rgt others to Joukovski for test flight and aslo to Aktioubinsk for weapons test.
Can carry up to 40,000 kg of ordnance which 12 AS-15/KH-55 or 24 AS-16/KH-15 soon new KH-101/102 replace AS-15, KH-102 is the nuclear variant of KH-101.
