Those AGI's will probably have spent most times they are not being upgraded at sea, except probably in the '90's. What else would you do with them. If they have made not many sea miles it is because they are slow. The website of the Black Sea Fleet says 16.5 kts. And I must say they look it.

My guess is that a few of them have continued use. But the 90s, and the first half of the 2000s (at least) I bet they were tied up at dock for the most part.
So, maybe 15 years service on them.
Now, if they were left in a poor state of maintenance those years they were at dock (which is very possible), they may not be in good shape at all.
I will research and see how many of them are still active and see if I can find out about their individual history.

Sorry to have caught this rather late. It's not a Grenade launcher mount.TerraN, can you tell what is this part marked in front of his AK for?
It seems to be attached to the rail interface mount for an grenade launcher or bipod?
Thank you in advance

The Russian under barrel Grenade launcher series the GP25-GP30-GP34.. and the BS-1 "Silent" grenade launcher would be impeaded by that device as it blocks the bayonet lug which is used as part of the mounting system much like on the American M203 the mounting on this is way to flimsy to mount even a low recoil grenade launcher.
but it is a mounting bracket.
For a tactical flashlight. the light would be about the size of a pistol light and mounts under the barrel on the forward end.
Kamov KA92
Mil Mi-X1
Both are are conceptualized in the same class as the Hip or V22 in terms of troop capacity

Vladimir Putin OKs sale to Iran's air defense system S-300. The transaction will be imminent
(Defensa.com) Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree allowing the export of air defense system long-range S-300 to Iran on Monday. Recall that Russia had to cancel in 2010 the sale to Iran of this advanced defense system due to sanctions imposed by the United Nations. The Kremlin own webpage you can access the decree on the implementation of the United Nations Security Council resolution, which have been included amendments that allow this transaction. After the announcement of this measure, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the operation with Iran is "imminent".
In recent years, the Russian government has used the possible sale of this system to Iran as leverage in several diplomatic clashes with Western powers. However cancellation supply in 2010 cost the Russian company Rosoboronexport to Iran turned to the Court of Arbitration in Geneva for breach of contract. More recently, in January of this year the Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu visited Iran where agreed with his Iranian counterpart signed a cooperation agreement which included the delivery of S-300.
The origin of this decision Vladimir Putin would be in the preliminary agreement that would have been reached regarding the Iranian nuclear program. The so-called sextet (United States, European Union, Russia, UK, Germany and France) reached an agreement with Iran last April 2 after finding substantial progress on regulation of the Iranian nuclear program. United States is in a difficult situation after this decision because Israel has pressured him to prevent delivery of this provision but after the company announced that the delivery of S-300 would not affect the principle according to which they have come. This is one of the issues discussed in the article "The unbalancing effect of Russian air defense systems last generation," published in the December issue of the journal FDS (Security and Defence Forces).

Borei Class
See how small the sail is compared to the rest of the boat.
Interesting. Where is it? there are hills in the background, so it couldn't be at Severodvinsk...right?
BTW: The length of Borey is refered as 170m
In all google earth images you can measure about 158m! Try to do it in Severodvinsk (use also History layer) in Severomorsk and Nerpicha. And measure other ships near by (they match more or less their specifications).
Here is what I mean
Any ideas?
