In the top down view, what are those things between the two AK-630 guns in the middle of the ship? Between the Uran launches and the AK-630 guns to be more precise. Is that just the gas turbine exhaust?

[Khathi]

It's based on the earlier reports -- I heard, developers were unsure about ship's electrical grid abilities. But the photo up there shows that they've managed to fit another module there after all -- well, now we could only wish for another VLS for ASMs.

[Stonewall71]

Kulakov looks ready to take on the Barent sea. Nice to see.

good news indeed

The Vice-Admiral Kulakov is an Udaloy class destroyer of the Russian Navy.
The Admiral Kulakov was commissioned in 1982 and was on combat duty with the Northern Fleet until March 1991, when it retired for repairs that lasted more than 18 years. The destroyer is to rejoin the Northern Fleet in the first half of 2010.

That's not VDV that's "enemy" vehicles in exercise

[Khathi]

Buggies were used bythe OpFor, not the paratroopers.

[Koskela]

I´ve made a pic of the VDV Buggy for those who are interested. How is the recon troop organized at VDV batallions?
