The first sustained deployment (if it ends up being sustained) will be the anti-piracy missions in the Gulf of Aden. The Neustrashimiy will be replaced by the Admiral Vinogradov after the exercises with India, and I'm assuming that means that after some time the Vinogradov will also be replaced with another ship. I'm guessing Russia plans to keep a permanent military presence in the area to cooperate with EU anti-piracy efforts, as well as to score some brownie points on the world stage, and give some real experience to the crews of the warships.

This article sums up the problems that bogged the Bulava. The problem had nothing to do with the guidance, but rather the seawater.
The author's remark "Again and again, the new Bulavas emerged from the ocean at awkward angles, wrecking the accuracy of their ballistic flight trajectory."
explains all that went wrong with the Bulava.

There were reasons to give everything to MITT. I have no links and any articles so I won't declarate them but as understood it was the right choice.

Russia's Yury Dolgoruky submarine to start sea trials by yearend



Russia's first Borey-class strategic nuclear submarine will start sea trials by the end of 2008, a defense industry source said on Thursday.
The fourth-generation Yury Dolgoruky was built at the Sevmash plant in northern Russia and was taken out of dry dock in April 2007. It will be equipped with Bulava ballistic missiles upgraded from Topol-M (SS-27) missiles.
"The successful testing of the submarine's nuclear reactor, conducted on December 16 by Sevmash and Northern Fleet specialists, enable us to say confidently that Yury Dolgoruky will start sea trials by yearend," the source said.
The submarine is 170 meters (580 feet) long, has a hull diameter of 13 meters (42 feet), a crew of 107, including 55 officers, a maximum depth of 450 meters (about 1,500 feet) and a submerged speed of about 29 knots. It can carry up to 16 ballistic missiles.
Two other Borey-class nuclear submarines, the Alexander Nevsky and the Vladimir Monomakh, are currently under construction at the Sevmash shipyard and are expected to be completed in 2009 and 2011.
Russia's Navy commander, Adm. Vladimir Vysotsky, said in July that the construction of new-generation nuclear-powered ballistic missile and attack submarines is a top priority for the Russian Navy's development.
Under the Russian State Armaments Program for 2007-2015, the Navy will receive several dozen surface ships and submarines, including five Project 955 Borey-class submarines, two Project 885 Yasen nuclear-powered attack submarines, and six Project 677 Lada diesel-electric submarines.

I've read that two Typhoon class sub's which are now in reserve won't be modernized to carry Bulava missiles. the reason is - that this modernization is too expensive. They'll be used to carry cruise missiles or for special operations - I am trying to calc how many CM could be put into this monster or how many troops ?? Because these sub's are really BIG.

And today it was announced, the Yury Dolgoruky from the Borei class SSBN wont start its sea trails until the spring of 2009. This becouse of "issues with the placement of a nuclear reactor on board the submarine".
You would think that a thing like that would have been sortet out long before the launching. But then again, nothing suprices me when it comes to the russians.

One sailor died in a fire yesterday aboard Northern Fleet’s aircraft carrier “Admiral Kuznetsov”, which currently is on a tour of duty in the Mediterranean.

During take-off and landing drills on the evening of January 6 a fire broke out on the aircraft carrier. One conscript sailor died while trying to extinguish the fire, a military source told Russian news agency Interfax.

According to the source, the fire caused only minor damages to the ship, and the tour will continue as planned.

Interfax has not yet received any official confirmation on the information.

Russian warships to visit Syrian port


A naval task force from Russia's Northern Fleet will visit on Monday the Syrian port of Tartus, where the Russian Navy keeps a maintenance and resupply site, a Navy spokesman said.
The task force, which includes the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, the Admiral Levchenko destroyer and the Nikolai Chiker supply ship, is currently on a tour of duty in the Mediterranean.
Capt. 1st Rank Igor Dygalo said the carrier group had carried out joint exercises with the Turkish Navy last week and would return to its duties in the Mediterranean Sea after visiting Tartus.
The Soviet-era Navy maintenance site near Tartus is the only Russian foothold in the Mediterranean.
Russian media reports have suggested the facility could be turned into a base for the country's Black Sea Fleet, which could lose its current main base in Sevastopol on the Crimean Peninsula in 2017.
About 50 naval personnel and three floating piers are reportedly deployed at the Tartus site, which can accommodate up to a dozen warships, and Russia is expanding the port and building a pier in nearby El-Latakia.
No official confirmation of the reports has been made.

Russia still declare its presence in middle east region which will give energies to Iran and Syria.

This is interesting. Repairs on the old Kirov class cruiser Admiral Nakhimov finaly seems to have been started in 2008 and the ship is suposed to rejoin the russian navy by 2012.
Its been some strange news about this ship during the last years. In 2006 is was said the the ship had returned to service after reapairs, it never happend.
