The first or one other in the video ? but in service since a year yet 10, former TU-95MS-16, MS-6 no mordernized for Engels in first logic.Just a test flight (possibly the first?) with the full load-out, as the Bear never went wheels up?

The Yasen is a GREAT design.Wooww !
Powerful war machine ofc with unusual arrangment for a Russian as US Subs TT on the sides, only 533 mm no 650 and " one hull and half ".
Wide as an Akula 13.5 m but more long 119 m, able to move to 31 kn, dive max 600 m as Akula, Sierra, Oscar, seems reactor have a service life of 25/30 years which is a big progress for Russian.
Small crew for a big Sub 90 sailors, Russians have less numerous than US.
62 weapons !
Seems the new variant 885M don't have a pump jet.

India to acquire three Admiral Grigorovich-class frigates from Russia
Russia will supply three Admiral Grigorovich-class (Project 11356M) frigates to India that were originally intended for the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet, according to a source in the Russian defence industry.
"The relevant concealed agreement has been achieved, and India will receive the second three of Project 11356 frigates being built for the Russian Navy. The Indian side has obtained 12 spare tool and accessory kits for the ships," the source said.
The only issue at the moment is that the vessels, which are being constructed at the Kaliningrad-based Yantar Shipyard, use a Ukrainian Zorya-Mashproyekt gas-turbine propulsion plant. The 2014 Ukraine conflict slammed the door on co-operation between Moscow and Kiev over critical propulsion system components, especially marine gas turbine engines.
While Russia has already received the propulsion systems for the first three frigates, Ukraine's termination of defence exports to Russia has left the final three without their turbines, with indigenous replacements possibly not be available before 2019.
While Ukraine says it will not supply the engines to Russia, the source told IHS Jane's that India could use previously acquired Ukrainian engines. Alternatively India could acquire new engines directly from Kiev.
Meanwhile Moscow and New Delhi are considering transporting the frigates' hulls from the Yantar Baltic Shipyard to India to enable the further construction of the ships and the installation of the engines in the country.
The additional three Project 11356 frigates for the Indian Navy - No. 360 Admiral Butakov , No. 361 Admiral Istomin , and No. 362 Admiral Kornilov - will reportedly be equipped with the BrahMos cruise missile system.
Admiral Grigorovich-class vessels are variants of the Talwar (Krivak III)-class frigates, of which six were built for the Indian Navy at the Yantar Baltic Shipyard between 2003 and 2013.
Renewal projects of Russian surface fleet severely feeling the effects of the Ukrainian crisis, including the end of the technical and technological cooperation with foreign countries. The termination of delivery of gas turbines by Zorya Ukrainian-MachProject will lead to considerable delays in admission to active duty last three frigates of Project 11356M, and in those of the 22350 project, whose target is 6 units
... I've read in Russian Internet at one point strong enough turbine(s) almost certainly can be obtained from Rybinsk... don't have new turbines before several years ...
This will be good for India. They already have six Talwars, now with these three they will have nine of these very decent frigates.It is confirmed now the last 3 Grigorovich, also Gorshkov don't have new turbines before several years confirming precendent rumors but now really make sense India can buy these last 3 Grigorovich equiped with turbines purchased by India.
