Looks like Russia is saving up their money (due to budget cause by the sanctions) to work on their stealth bomber instead.;)

Russian Armed Forces officially receive newest Buk-M3 anti-aircraft missile system

Russia’s Air Defense Forces officially have received the first batteries of new Buk-M3 anti-aircraft missile system.

The Buk-M3 (NATO reporting name: SA-17 Grizzly) is a newest Russian medium-range surface-to-air missile system is a modernized version of the Buk-M2 system. The Buk-M3 developed by the Russian Defense Company Almaz-Antey.

Development of the Buk M3 began back in 1990. Development process was plagued with delays. This new air defense system has already been tested by the Russian armed forces. It is scheduled for production. The Buk M3 could be adopted in 2015 or 2016. Russian military officials state, that first operational Buk M3 systems will be delivered to the Russian Army in 2016. It is planned that it will replace the older Buk M1 systems.

The Buk-M3 can also engage sea and land targets, due to its vertical launch capability. The Buk-M3 system boasts a new digital computer, high-speed data exchange system and a telethermal imaging target designator instead of the teleoptical trackers used in previous models.

The Buk-3M’s target-destruction probability has reached 0.9999 and its maximum destruction range has been increased by 25 kilometers and now stands at 70 kilometers.

According to the Defense Ministry, the two Buk-M2 batteries and one Buk-M3 battery have received by Russian Armed Forces during the single day of acceptance of military products.

Forget that .... Russian hyping at best again.
When they are able to bring the T50 to operational status by 2020, then they can dream about a prototype of the PAK-DA flying by 2030 maybe ....

Just some random 3D stuff.
With all effort to reinstall upgraded Tu-160 series production(with rather large expected production run) PAK-DA is unlikely anytime soon.

I watched the video and I saw something disconcerting for the Russians. Something is amiss with ADM"K"..that black stack exhaust is a sign something is wrong with their boilers. A former sailor, boiler tech, once explained it at mp.net. I cannot remember what he posted I just know it is not good.

When I served aboard USS Hancock(CVA 19) she belched black exhaust like that and eventually lost all power twice while I was aboard.

The massive aircraft carrier, thought to be the Admiral Kuznetsov, can be seen belching smoke as it passes dangerously close to Britain..... | Mirror
