Yes, 26 fighter/bombers and 24 helicopters, but as I said, I don't think they would carry that many around on every cruise. IMHO, it is more of theoretical capacity .

Finally...actual proof of my long contention that the Kuznetsov could carry up to 50 aircraft. Now here they are doing it.

Took some grief from folks for years over this...but I have stuck with it.

What happened to the 4-year overhaul for the Kuznetsov? Financial issues? Are they planning it for later?

The Russian Navy unveils range cruise missiles Kalibr
Kaliber NK spoke recently in fact SS-N-30A/3M-14S

In general i don' t quote this site which is few reliable but this is an very interesting official announcements

The range of Russian cruise missiles Kalibr can reach 2000 kilometers.

The Kalibr onboard cruise missiles have a range of up to 2000 km, said Saturday the head of the Combat Preparation direction of the General Staff of the Russian Navy, Vice Admiral Viktor Kotchemazov

Depending on the targets for the strikes, either sea or land, depending on the route, whether it is necessary to bypass terrestrial obstacles, the range of these missiles is 2,000 kilometers, "said the against Admiral.

He said the weapons were allowed to export and already equip the Indian and Vietnamese armies.

These missiles went into action for the first time on October 7, when four ships of the Russian Caspian Fleet fired 26 cruise missiles Kalibr, destroying 11 sites of the Islamic state at a distance of 1500 km.

"E" stands for "export version" with the range limited to 300 km.
When deployed in Kaspian Sea in 2012 Kalibr was given range of 2 600 km., later confirmed several times.
Looks like they now have a pleasure to play with the figures just to confuse all.
Nice feeling, I guess.

p.s. Atomic battle cruiser undergoing modernization now announced to receive 80 missile cells within the next three years.
p.p.s Kalibre production line switched to three-eight-hour shifts these days.

Russia's new Project 22160 corvettes to be armed with Kalibr-NK missiles

The Russian Navy's new Project 22160 patrol ships will be armed with the Kalibr-NK land attack cruise missile, according to Alexander Karpov, First Deputy Director General of Gorky Zelenodolsk Shipyard.
For Karpov the capability of the missiles was proved when Russia launched Kalibr-NK strikes from the Caspian Sea into Syria on 7 October: "The successful salvoes…demonstrated the firepower of these missiles. Besides, they take up little volume."
Meanwhile, at the Interpolitex-2015 exhibition in Moscow on 18-22 October the Project 22160 ship model was demonstrated at the United Shipbuilding Corporation stand displaying its aft module fitted the Kalibr-NK strike missile system in two containers, of four missiles each, which are raised vertically for launch.
Six of the 1,500-1,800 tonne Project 22160 vessels are due to be operated by the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet, with two vessels already under construction. The first vessel, Vasily Bykov , will be fitted with Kalibr-NK and will be handed over to the customer in 2017. The second ship Dmitry Rogachev is due to be commissioned in 2018. By the year 2022 the yard will have supplied all six ships. According to the Navy's plans, a group of Project 22160 ships will be formed at the Novorossiysk naval base on the Black Sea

Interesting corvettes these 22160 with a very decent armament for a boat of 1300t hangar for one helo also ant get a nice look
Ru Pr 22160.jpg

A remark they build several SSC, 2 FFG classes but no big combattants especialy DDG now they modernize Udaloy moreover during deployments always the same names the unavoidable with always faithful tugboat :) problem the tugboat slow down the TG impossible have it in wartime ofc.

Sovremennyy have shaft steam turbines and Udaloy gas turbines easier maintenance that is why they prefer and much more Sovremennyy retired.

In fact they have right now only 4 recent MSC the Petr Velikiy what ship ! the Udaloy II and 2 Neutrashimyy soon a new Grigorovich, Gorshkov for a year.

Definitely the Nahkimov after modernization for Pacific Fleet.
