The Russian flagged RORO ship Alexandr Tkachenko, is one of the civilian ship that is used by Russian military to supply the operations in Syria. She made her latest southbound passage through Istanbul Strait on 31 October 2015.

Ok Brodamn one hidden other !
I noticed I had made a mistake yesterday: instead
I should've said "laid down" (if such a ship was to be launched next year, by now we should know how Project 22800 ships look like
I apologize.

At this time seems short for do it because ice especially in White Sea, in Barents Sea a part free close coast with the end of Gulf Stream.
Tu-95H with 8 Kh-101 or 102 annouced get a range of 2000/3500 km long. Maybe now operationnal ?
Only on ext hard points so long for weapons bay, posssible for Tu-160 and normaly Tu-22M can't carry. Very big 2.4 t ! long 7.5 m AS-15 do 6,4, AGM-86 6,4 m.

I thought it would be worthwhile and interesting to look at the two principle STOBAR carrier aircraft for Russia and China...the J-15 and the SU-33.
The J-15 is coming on strong and has a bright future, the SU-33 is fading.
Here's an in service J-15:
Here's an in service SU-33:
Here's a comparison of characteristics:
Here's a picture of J-15s on board the Liaoning:
Here's a picture of SU-33s on board the Kuznetsov:
As I say, the J-15 is up and coming.
I expect there will be at least three carrier air wings of these aircraft built, along with the requisite training squadron and probably others for test and eval and for contingency concerns.
Something like 80+ aircraft perhaps for the PLAN before all is said and done..
The SU-33 is done. No more will be built.
The 19 that Russia has will be it, and I expect they will be replaced by the newer Mig-29K aircraft in the future.
