Admiral Lazarev being painted in preparation for its journey to the Northern Fleet:

Does this mean that Admiral Lazarev is going to be being refit / modernized after all? If they were going to scrap it - why paint it?

Hmm, I don't know much about Lazarev, but typically paint = modernization... Unless they want to sell it or something!

So it doesn't look like a pile of shit in transit.

They paint Kirov regularly too, and its fate is long sealed.

This means nothing, though it is nice to see it move at all.

A shame. It looks like a pile of shit irrespective whether its painted or not, given they've stripped all of its weapons / antennae etc.

Tell me again the last time you painted your broken trashcan? Painting Lazarev could mean much more than you believe, or there would be no point in painting it!

Sure, it could also be turned into an interplanetary battleship. Do you have any proof of such an intention?


Kirov, long slated for utilization, is being painted regularly. The theory does not hold up I am afraid.

And it is not what I believe, it also happens to be the consensus on Balancers.

SPACE BATTLECRUISER ADMIRAL LAZAREV.

They should make this anime immediately.

Nope, but who says they didn't change their mind? 

Yeah, but Kirov is still in service, Lavarez isn't, big difference!

It could be nothing, or it could be something.

I thought the ship was considered beyond repair?

I guess it works for temporary use before other ships come out and it is sent to the bottom of the ocean as a artificial reef.

It is, hence the confusion...

Kirov....is not in service. It was withdrawn long ago, and is going to be utilized soon.

And it is nothing. There is no contract, no wiff of a contract, no nothing.

Ahhh! I should've said the "Kirovs".

"Hence the confusion". Do you mind sharing what you think the reason for painting it is?

For the transit, like I said. The reason is probably as mundane as making sure it doesn't look quite like the rusted hulk it is during the voyage.

Likely they also checked the hull during the dry dock visit, and patched up any serious issues.

Haha, that would be sad, and funny at the same time... Well, let's wait and see!

the translation video is wrong. the original video say nothing about russia assistance. 052D rada type is 346A

the translation  video  is wrong. the original video say nothing about  russia assistance. 052D rada  type  is  346A

That comment didn't have anything to do with China, but rather an article.

Yep, a very very badly written article.

Not even "bad", it was literally unreadable! Propaganda + crappy "journalists" = you know what....

Yep, true western BS articles that i enjoy butchering, unless there to long, then it just turns into a chore.

Haha, they are a chore even when they are short!

Quoting myself but who cares .... and just as I suspected this system IS LIANA satellite targeting system

A source in the military-industrial complex: the Navy will receive new "space" targeting complexes

"Recently, the Northern Fleet, one of the ships have been successfully tested first modernized complex targeting against naval targets, which receives data from the ISS" Liana. "In the short term, this complex will be delivered by the Navy of the Russian Federation", - said the agency interlocutor.
