I doubt they could be used on Project 20380 corvettes (Steregushchy-class) . Length of that missile supposed to be 5.65 m , as opposed to 4.75 m of E variant. Also I doubt that radars on such small ship could fully exploit its long range .
As for Project 20385 (Gremyashchy-class ) , it is hard to tell what would happen to those ships (already mentioned engine problems) . Theoretically, they have 16 VLS cells , but could they support longer missiles - I don't know .

T-72 armor tests 1995 5 HEAT rounds from 100m, no penetration.


T72 firing HEAT rounds against T-72 with K5 ERA.

Would like to see T-90A tests but i think it will take couple of years until they open it for public.

Russian MLRS:

They are showing that the new warhead comes down perpendicular to the ground, which allows for better fragmentation properties.

The previous version came down non perpendicular, and the fragmentation area was not a perfect circle.

They show a coverage chart in the subsequent scene.

So the Russians are out the Mistral. They have the capability to make their own vessels, unfortunately they need to what another five or six years. Russia could update the 1178/11780.

Russian needs two or three vessels like this and not more aircraft carriers (ok maybe one more for when the other is not working).

Russia’s sole aircraft carrier goes under repairs

The aircraft carrier performed its last long-distance voyage in May 2014, mostly sailing in the Mediterranean Sea


MURMANSK, May 14. /TASS/.
Russia’s sole aircraft carrier, The Admiral Kuznetsov, went into the dock of a shipyard in north Russia for repairs, the Northern Fleet’s press office reported on Thursday, giving no timeframe for the repairs.

"The repair workers will first make the ship’s inspection in the dock, after which a decision will be made on the scope of the repairs," the fleet’s press office said, adding the repairs would be carried out by specialists of the 82nd shipyard at Roslyakovo in the Murmansk Region.

The aircraft carrier performed its last long-distance voyage in May 2014, mostly sailing in the Mediterranean Sea.

The Northern Fleet’s press office earlier reported that deck-based aircraft pilots had been on combat duty aboard the Admiral Kuznetsov responsible for air defense of a Russian Navy task force.

The Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier also took part in several naval drills, practising air fights.

The Admiral Kuznetsov heavy aircraft-carrying missile cruiser is the sole vessel of this type in the Russian Navy.

The Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier was laid down at a Black Sea shipyard on September 1, 1982 and entered service on December 4, 1985.

During its voyages, the ship carries Sukhoi

, the Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier was placed in the shipyard's PD-50 floating dock.

The question on everyone's mind is: how long will repairs last? Fleet officials would only say that workers needed to complete a survey of the ship before they could determine the full scope of work and finalize work orders.

Today, the first 13 contracts for the aircraft carrier's repairs were released. Based on a review of the contracts, it appears "Admiral Kuznetsov" will be out of business until at least December 2016. The combined total cost of the initial contracts: RUB 1,308,808,984.
