"... low speed “Pugachev’s Cobra” transitioning to a tumbling back flip followed by a side-slip to an inverted spin and then a classic recovery gained by pointing the aircraft’s nose to the ground to regain lost energy in exchange for altitude. The entire sequence is flown at altitude that presumably lives little margin for error, making it even more thrilling."

The new State Armaments Program (SAP) for 2018-2025 that comes into effect from January 2018 reportedly calls for drastic cuts to a number of expensive programs. The effects of restraints on the Russian Navy’s rearmament plans will be more severe, however, the upgrade of the submarine forces will continue, writes the online media outlet Lenta.ru.

now it's also clear she won't be commissioned this year EDIT now noticed a discussion in Russian Internet if she was, or wasn't, launched yet: some say she was, so some other ask where're the pictures, then LOL)

it's also interesting how Project 22160 is big as compared to 21631 ("Buyan-M"): the Vyshniy Volochek in the foreground
