Heard vague reports of this basically a torpedo that acts as a decoy like a UUV but intercepts incoming torpedoes rather than search for targets or hunts other vessels.

That is the soft kill system - self propelled imitator.

Now there are hard kill systems, ie torpedoes that attack hostile torpedoes.

So now we can see the set up for the strike VLS of the Kirov class refit - 10 8 cell UKSK launchers.

It'll be interesting to see what Admiral Nakhimov looks like when her refit is finished. It'll also be interesting to find out what the ultimate plan is for the Admiral Lazarev. I don't think there's anything like SevMash in the Russian Far East?

Speaking of refits, I hear that the Chinese are making alterations on the four Project 956's they have.

Lazarev was sheduled for a mid life repair and refit as well. It would probably be Nahimov->Lazarev->Peter the Great. As usual the nature of the refit would probably be different for each ship in the class.

I heard of that too, but I am not aware of the details. Note that the Chinese ships were built to their own specification and differ from the Soviet/Russian ones, especially the 2nd pair.

True, true. I was curious as to whether or not there was more information on what the Chinese were up to in Russia in comparison with what we seem to have in the West.

If the Lazarev does go in for refit, would she be done in a yard in the Far East or would she moved back to European Russia?
