This is an old frigate, one of the original Krivak I class. It was launched in 1980.

It recently went through a fairly extensive refit and was modernized (not sure of the exact changes), and is now going to deploy permanently as a part of the Russian Mediterranean task force.

According to some sources , it has retained 4 Rastrub (NATO SSN-14 Silex) missiles . According to others, this was replaced with 8 Kh-35 Uran missiles . Honestly, on pictures shown here and elsewhere, I could not spot any of those :D

How about this Mig 29UB, bort 032, touched, handled, and photographed by the Air Force Brat right her in Central Obamastan, imported from the Ukraine, yes we have been up close and "hands on" with "Natasha's" little sister. Hope somebody can get her flying again, I will try to post some more pics on here?

How bout that kids, as you can see, she's mostly all there, Natasha and a sister ship are airworthy, in fact the sister ship is for sale here in Obamastan for 4.6 million US, the bird behind her is in better shape, does have the rudders, but is missing a few panels around the engines, I will try to upload some more pix later, I'm just pumped that you get to see the Brat's hometown Migs, wouldn't that look great in my yard???

First design for the futur 12000 t DDG in fact a Cruiser for political reasons designated DDG maybe... get 48 cell's for missiles as Club/Kaliber and 48 for one big SAM definitely S-400 naval variant or 4 more small ( total 192 ) and seems others cell's about 48 ? around landing pad and get a gun of 130 or maybe 152 mm.

Armament equivalent Ticonderoga, KDX-III powerful.

For the moment only for look...certainties after.

With current sanctions against Russia I don't think you could secure good maintenance package for that :D

I hear you, the fellow/outfit who own these and had restored the other two to flight, have a Russian brother as their head mechanic who had overseen the work on returning the UBs to flight, they had some others as well who helped them. It was a lot of hard work, even though the airframes were all very low time. Never the less they had a difficult time importing fuel controllers etc??

A very interesting chart, but a bit confusing…… In fact:

Something tells me that's not an official poster from Sukhoi. It says under "SUKHOI T-50 055": "5th prototype caught fire in June 2014". No way something like this gets on an official promotional poster.
It is FAKE. Or, just someone's overactive imagination. In addition terrible spelling. I like the "generaton", "multi-porpous". :modernazied", "intigrated" etc.
