The Russians are building what they can afford and still retain the capacity to do.that webpage has a horrible color of font/background (white/grey) so I won't post the text, considering I'm not sure if anybody would read it
Today’s Russian Navy taking the asymmetric route – with caveats
LOL nah I don't like the masts (their number; placement; shape) on Project 20380:i had a look... very nice.
and have two points:Russian aircraft corporation MiG has been thrown a lifeline by the Russian government.
Russia’s State Armaments Program for 2018-25 supports procurement of the Mikoyan MiG-35 lightweight multirole fighter, Deputy Minister of Defense Yuriy Borisov confirmed at the MAKS Air Show here July 18.
The confirmation came on the opening day of the show, where the MiG-35 has taken center stage in the hopes of luring domestic and foreign military customers. The armaments program, similar to the White Paper process, details how much will be spent on military modernization over the short and medium-term, and which forces should be prioritized or modernized. It seems replacing the Russian Aerospace Force’s remaining Soviet-era MiG-29s with the new MiG-35 is a high enough priority to make the list.
Since the end of the Cold War, the Mikoyan Design Bureau has struggled to gain widespread market attention compared to Sukhoi, which boasts strong state support for its super maneuverable Su-30 multirole fighter, Su-34 tactical bomber and future T-50 fifth-generation warplane, as well as the commercial airliner. There has even been recent discussions within about merging Mikoyan and Sukhoi.
Borisov said during a press briefing that the Russian Armed Forces would begin buying aircraft once the State Armaments Program (GPV) is rolled out.
MiG Aircraft Corporation CEO Sergei Korotkov expects serial production of the “4+++” fighter to begin in 2019. Borisov did not say how many aircraft or squadrons of MiG-35s the armament program would support or how many were needed. Nevertheless, any state order would help anchor the program and make it more attractive to prospective international customers.
Korotkov said during a press briefing at MAKS that despite MiG-35 not having a low-observable airframe planform, the aircraft employs various stealth techniques including radar-deflecting materials and inhibitors as well as electronic countermeasures. It also has a counter-stealth L-band radar in the leading-edge root extension and could potentially carry the latest X-band Zuke active electronically scanned array radar. MiG-35 will be powered by two Klimov RD-33MK engines.
Korotkov says the aircraft is competitive against its Western rivals, including the . He was bold enough to say it would even win against the F-35 in aerial combat. “This is better than the F-35,” he says.
Mikoyan has been producing MiG-29 derivatives since 1981, and more than 800 remain in operational service around the world. The MiG-35 would help MiG remain in production pending development of a completely new, next-generation aircraft.
The aircraft is an advanced derivative of the MiG-29K/KUB and MiG-29M/M2, originally developed for India’s Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) competition, against five other competitors. Despite not being successful, the aircraft has been re-engineered to support the needs of the Russia Aerospace Forces, with the rollout ceremony taking place in January. Flight testing is ongoing.
The aircraft is produced at the Sokol plant in Nizhny Novgorod. The facility is currently building MiG-29M2s for Egypt, but those deliveries are due to wrap up by 2020.
After MAKS, the MiG-35’s next public appearance will be at the Army-2017 military expo in Moscow in August.
The Russians are building what they can afford and still retain the capacity to do.
And the frigates (which they are having a hard time completing) and the Corvettes are good designs and at least they are being able to modernize to that extent.
ut the larger vessels, even the subs which they ave always been able to produce...they simply are unable to produce them in any numbers...a handful is all. The two new frigate classes, the Gorshkov and the Girgorovich are good designs...but again, they are completing only a handful when they need several dozen.
Not to mention destroyers or carriers and the like.
The are slowly modernizing a second Kirov cruiser.

and have two points:
LOL but what I know for sure is I don't pronounce
- to my surprise, today I read in a credible source just 16 copies (plus 8 for ) would be procured during 2018-2025 period;
- I believe the name of the radar is incorrectly spelled as "Zuke" in the article, would be Zhuk (means like bug
ж
properly, should sound more guttural, I can't do it
apparently it's happened:Jun 5, 2017
... and now the promise of commissioning is "this week":
