Ok there seems to be some technical proplems here. Lociz made a post about the russian task force, but apparently its not visible to all (including himself) so therefore he posted the same thing several times. I deleted the duplicated post and left the first one intact.

I don't know the reason for this but I can assure you that the post wasen't moderated or sensored by us, its unappearing seems to be purely techical proplem. Its sad becouse the post itself was rather interesting and informative.

If you (Lociz) cannot see your orginal post, please contact webmaster so he can sort this thing out.

Thanks

Something wrong here, trying one more time..Posted a long post but everything lost after publishing. Ok, here is some of it.
First some info about the deployment:

The following ships are deploying:
Admiral Kuznetsov - carrier
Admiral Levchenko - Udaloy I destroyer
Admiral Chabanenko - Udaloy II destroyer
Sergey Osipov - Boris Chilikin class fleet oiler
Nikolaj Chiker - salvage tug
Moskva - Slava class cruiser
Ivan Bubnov - Boris Chilikin class fleet oiler
Iman - Olekma class light oiler
Lena - Uda class light oiler
Kola - Altay class light oiler
Unnamed salvage tug

The first 5 listed ships from the Northern Fleet, Lena and kola from Baltic I think, and the rest from the Black Sea fleet.

About the list of planes. Remember this is INCLUDING strategic bombers who will take part in exercises. Kuznetsov can only take 12 Flankers i think, 4-5 Frogfots and 20 Kamov's. Both the Udaloys can take 2 Kamovs each. I dont think they have enough trained pilots to fill the ship, but Kuznetsov is very much operative, and a very capable ship. She has got an impressive weaponload, for example the SS-N-19 missiles. She has some limitations in number of planes, but remember she was built to protect SSBN submarines and other naval surface ships..

First off I want to see a picture ofthe ADM"K" with all those aircraft on deck...ain't gonna happen.

I think they made a mistake and it was actually referring to all the ships having that many aircraft all together.

Lociz, I can see your posts.

Why so many "fleet oilers"? It seems like too many for the amount of warships that are being deployed, especially when they have a port available to them.
