gas-turbines update:
...
later I'm going to check my files and Russian Internet for
  1. М-90ФР
  2. Агрегат ДКВП
  3. М-70ФРУ
...
... but I realized I couldn't say much :)

item #1 is 27500 hp, the biggest ships to use it: probably Project 22350 (in pairs, and with pairs of diesels), known as Admiral Gorschkov-class Frigates

EDIT
interestingly, the cost (in millions of Rubles) of one such turbine is 593, while of one diesel (10Д49, 5200 hp): 108, according to:

item #2: I don't know what was meant by this in that article (ДКВП is basically the same acronym as LCAC "landing craft, air cushioned"), perhaps a new turbine for hovercrafts

item #3 is 14000 hp, the biggest ships to use it would probably be Project 20382 (if a customer was found, by the way I heard a rumor this week about "Algeria purchasing six of these", decided not to post), known as Tiger-class Corvettes

Hehehe...great.

I have a 1/72 scale TU-95M. when I build it I am going to add the pylons for the TU-95MS-16. That should look sweet.
