Excuse me for multiple post. And thanks once more.
Reconstruction: 7 destroyers of 956 project (Sovremenny class);
1 destroyer of 1155 project (Udaloy Class)
18 for reconstruction is an obvious error, excuse me for that figure :(. Correct is 8.
19 is currently a total number of destroyers in...

Currently there is no decision about third and fourth ships. Also there are some evidences that in Russia these ships will be further reconstructed, so the data presented at...
First about engines. Those ones installed on Mistral do not meet Russian technical requirements. Simply Russia has no fuel and lubricants for them. The fact that one company builds engines for different ships does not mean that the engines are the same. The icebreakers are built in Finland in...

It is too costly to develop techologies solely. Even the US use techologies from abroad. Russia also needs political allies for secure development. That's why in Europe we see current state of relations with Ukraine and NATO. In Asia Russia develops political and economic relations with all...

According to some Russian experts the decision to buy Mistrals has little to do with technical interest. May be someone had an idea to join NATO or to examine that French radar and control system. Mistral is simply not able to work in Russian conditions. The list of improvements which must be...
Upgrading Baku to Vikramaditya has not evident profit for Russia in terms of money. The profit is in developing and maintaining up to date level of technology. At least the next in the line for modernization is Admiral Kuznetsov (next year in plan). Both carriers apparently will have the same...

I think anything can be modified if you have an idea of how to do this and how to do that. Being under real threat of North Korean ballistic missiles, South Korea decided to develop their own ballistic missile defense system. USA denied to transfer appropriate technology. Russia agreed. The...
SEOUL, Sept. 24 (Yonhap) -- South Korea decided not to select Boeing's F-15SE as the country's next fighter jet Tuesday amid concern the sole-remaining candidate for the 8.3 trillion won (US$7.2 billion) project is not suitable as it lacks stealth features...
Ukrainian officials denied such a deal. There is a protocol of intent. It is planned to invest $ 6 billion in Ukrainian agriculture with the subsequent sale of agricultural products to China at discounted prices. Workers will be local residents.
