Amen to that Jura...HUGE spin!

... now I checked the original version

and it's hilarious; the sentences (in the first paragraph) the translator skipped:

Could it be that [Russian] shipyards are obsolete, and workers sloppy? They are: according to the logic of those 'admirals'. But once you look at facts, a completely different picture emerges.

but the articles goes on with apples-to-oranges comparisons, doesn't say anything if and how the production could be surged, etc.
LOL!

related to refurbishing

2. somebody inquired about the delay and, if it's not a fake, the officially-looking answer blames, point #1, Ukraine events and, point #2, Ukraine events
   

(the document also gives tentative schedules of refurbishing the other Slavas, but, as I said, I'm not sure if it's not a fake)

Russia's Krylov State Research Center Counting on India’s Aircraft Carrier Development Order

The Krylov State Research Center is counting on snagging an order for developing an aircraft carrier for the Indian Navy, Yuri Yeryomin, chief of the center’s Military-Technical Cooperation Department, has told TASS during the Army 2016 international military-technical forum.
He reminded that the company had completed a conceptual design of the Project 23000E Shtorm aircraft carrier intended to displace 95,000 tons and carry an air wing of 65 aircraft. Her power plant may be nuclear. In addition, provision has been made for two electromagnetic catapults.

"India and China are among possible foreign partners on the ship, India in the first place. We hope for it to order its third aircraft carrier from us; there are grounds for this," Yeryomin said.

According to him, the Krylov Center has held a presentation of the Shtorm for the Indian Navy’s command. "The Indians are interested [in the carrier]," Yeryomin said.

Krylov: Russian Navy needs four general-purpose LHD amphibious assault ships

The Russian Navy is in need of four versatile amphibious assault ships, of which one is needed for the standing naval force in the Mediterranean, Yuri Yeryomin, chief, Military-Technical Cooperation Dept., Krylov State Research Center, believes.

"The Northern Fleet needs a ship like that, and the Pacific Fleet needs two. Given the growing importance of the Mediterranean basin, where we have a standing naval force, one ship should be afforded to the Black Sea Fleet, even though she is unnecessary to the fleet itself. There is no sense in building a ship in the class for the Baltic Fleet either," Yeryomin said at the Army 2016 forum.

The Krylov Center has worked out the concept of the Priboi amphibious landing ship with an estimated displacement of 23,000 tons. The ship is to carry 900 Marines with their kit and an air wing of 16 assault helicopters.

Russia's Defense Ministry to Order Eight Project 23560 Leader-class Nuclear-Powered Destroyers

The Russian Defense Ministry plans to order eight Project 23560 Leader-class nuclear-powered guided missile destroyers, with the construction of the lead ship slated for 2018, a source in the defense industry has told TASS.

According to him, the Severnoye Design Bureau is to complete the destroyer’s preliminary design in the fourth quarter of 2017, after which the military will place a contract for a series of Leaders with the United Shipbuilding Corporation.

"The building of the lead ship is to begin in early 2018 and end by late 2022, i.e. it will take five years," the source said.

"Initially, a 12-ship series had been planned for the Navy, but later the number was reduced to eight - four destroyers for the Northern Fleet and four for the Pacific one. There will be no Leader destroyers in the inventories of the Baltic and Black Sea fleets," the source added.

Russia’s Almaz-Antey to upgrade 3K95 Kinzhal (SA-N-9 Gauntlet) surface-to-air missile system

Russia’s Almaz-Antey Corporation is currently upgrading the Kinzhal shipborne surface-to-air missile system for the Navy, a corporation spokesman said at the Army 2016 international military and technical forum.

"In late July, 2016, Russia’s Navy started working out technical specifications for the Almaz-Antey Corporation to upgrade the Kinzhal shipborne surface-to-air missile system. A ship, on which this work will be carried out, is currently being chosen," the spokesman said.

According to the spokesman, the Shipbuilding and Armament Research Institute is currently preparing technical specifications for the upgrade of the Kinzhal and Gibka-R systems.

The work will be carried out in Serpukhov near Moscow on the premises of the Ratep Enterprise, a subsidiary of the Almaz-Antey Corporation.

Russians produce nice models.

But they have not been able to build much of anything except pretty nice corvettes and a few frigates lately.

Their new DDG and SSN programs are taking years and years to get into the water.

They want India to fund this behemoth...and India will be crazy if it does.

I hope they learned their lesson from the Vikramaditya, which although it finally came in and has enhanced the Indian naval capability...it was billions over budget and many years late...and that was for the rebuild of an existing ship, not the build of one twice as big from the keel up.

India should work with the US on its 3rd carrier and commit to more dollars up front (because they are going to spend that much with the Russians anyway if not more) and get a really decent product designed and helped produce by people who know how to do so.

this week we had the discussion here about space/weaponry on Russian/Western warships; in the end

their main armament, and their displacement, are rather well known LOL

Russia/India defense deals

This could be a defining moment in India-Russia relations as by end of this year most of the ongoing defence deals could be concluded. The total value of these defence deals is in the billions of dollars, higher than any deals struck by India with western countries.

An Indian delegation is leaving for Russia to negotiate contracts on some very important defence acquisitions. Government sources told to Sputnik that a high level delegation will leave for Russia in a few days to discuss some strategic purchases for its maritime security.

Sources say that India would like to finalize a deal to lease some submarines from Russia. As the US refused to share technology for building a nuclear powered aircraft carrier, the delegation would also start the discussion for a super-carrier with Russia. Last week, Russia officially offered its latest nuclear aircraft carrier 'Shtorm' to India.

Sources say that, India and Russia concluded two very important negotiations only last week. First, both nations agreed to license-build 200 twin-engine Kamov Ka-226T light multi-role helicopters and secondly, to jointly develop a Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA). It is expected that the Design and Development contract for the FGFA will be signed during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to India in October this year. India’s Defence Ministry expects the project will be completed in next 8-10 years.

KUBINKA (Moscow Region) (Sputnik) – Russia has supplied India with more than $65 billion worth of military vehicles since 1960, the Russian state arms exporter Rosoboronexport’s deputy director told Sputnik at the Army-2016 military forum near Moscow on Tuesday. “Over the past years we have signed over $65 billion worth of contracts,” Sergey Goreslavsky said.
