I know are in the list, but think we need an update of the Victor-class submarines, mostly variants without 650mm torpedoes after the Kursk accident (Type 65 torpedo retired in 2001?), and Improved Victor III/671RTMK with Kalibr-PL missile complex, and perhaps more Type 53-65K antisurface torpedoes. Apparently the current Improved Victor III with Kalibr-PL/SS-N-27 Slizzer (Missile in service from 1999?) are: B-524, from 1996?, but retired in 2002. B-138 Obnisk, from 2011? B-502 Volgograd was modernized in the lines of B-524 in 1992, almost sure without Kalibr-PL, and retired in 2000.

All three submarines are based on the Northern Fleet and are part of the 7th and 11th submarine divisions. In the ranks as of January 2016, there is only B-138 Obninsk. B-448 Tambov is in the process of restoring technical readiness, and B-414 Daniil Moskovsky is in reserve of the second category.

Apparently no weapons installed yet, great drone footage: https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/watch-drone-footage-shows-departure-behemoth-hms-queen-elizabeth/?utm_source=FB&utm_medium=FacebookPage&utm_campaign=social

HMS Queen Elizabeth sailing at last, for six weeks of test. Weapons now listed as 2x20mm Phalanx and 4x30mm guns: http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/the-carrier-thats-supposed-to-revitalize-the-british-na-1796420008

For comparison, Su-35 in Paris Air Show 2017, but remember F-35 was not designed for air superiority: http://www.flixxy.com/sukhoi-su-35-rocks-paris-air-show.htm

Just as depicted in the "Reagan against China" scenario, hehehe: http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?/files/file/937-reagan-against-china-december-2016-early-2017-hypotheticalhistorical-scenario/

Yeah, very old game concept, as manage a soccer or rugby or boxer team, but not playing the games/competition/fight! Frankly dissapointing if the case.

At last, the real demo flight in Paris: https://www.facebook.com/groups/143822619011193/?multi_permalinks=1443575185702590&notif_t=group_activity&notif_id=1497909720807460#

Not sure if this vídeo was previously loaded, but I don't want to lose the link:. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=OFzCNdTeKDI

Yes, I see ... http://www.defensenews.com/articles/no-torpedoes-for-indias-second-scorpene-submarine Is perhaps Vanasutra the Weapon Entry 26682 NST-161 employed only in the DB in Arihant?

Curious, also good critics in some Facebook fora.

Perhaps Indian Varanustra heavyweight torpedo, in service from 2016 in surface ships, to be employed perhaps by Indian Kilo and Scorpene type submarines (At this moment Scorpene apparently equipped with SUT because a bribery scandal in proposed use of Black Shark torpedo): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varunastra_(torpedo) http://www.navyrecognition.com/index.php/news/defence-news/2017/june-2017-navy-naval-forces-defense-industry-technology-maritime-security-global-news/5254-indian-navy-scorpene-class-submarines-in-sea-trials-sut-torpedo-firing-test.html

I fear the new posted HCDB2 file is 170528 and not the new 170610.

Developed because the fighter-bomber shortage, and implementing the pending introduction of F-35C: http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a26833/us-navy-approves-boeings-f-1-8/

Historical remembrance in a The Aviationist article a few days ago, in the 26 aniversary. To highlight in the link the great Rick Herter painting: https://theaviationist.com/2017/06/07/36-years-ago-today-operation-opera-the-israeli-air-strike-on-an-iraqi-nuclear-reactor/

Loadout 53303 Precis-LR (F-35A Lightining II 17) has erroneously Join Strike Missile (yet in development, IOC in F-35 in 2022?) in lieu of probably NSM (Naval Strike Missile, IOC 2012), or JDAM GBU-31. http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/joint-strike-missile-jsm/ Sorry, don't mind on it, I don't saw it was the Norwegian F-35A entry, not the US entry!, Only mind the case of Joint Strike Missile, as showed in the link provided (JSM probably IOC 2022).

In relation, VAW-115 Liberty Bells returns to USA after 44 years!, no more two E-2 Hawkeye squadrons in Japan: https://news.usni.org/2017/06/06/e-2c-squadron-vaw-115-leaves-japan-44-years-operations?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=a2adc63335-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-a2adc63335-231039869&mc_cid=a2adc63335&mc_eid=f9dfe1a0a1
