How was this figured out exactly?Austin wrote:Secret or not but Yasen does not have 650 mm tube and the last Akula by Russian Navy Gepard does not have 650 mm Tube both have 533 mm TT.
Thats a good indication we might not see the likes of 650 mm Torpedoes in the future

I have seen estimates of 500km and 700km for Onyx from sources I thought at the time (and since) were credible.

Its a pity the Sierra was so expensive. It is a better platform than the Akula.

Pretty interesting, not too often you see the "Condor" class in dock:
The boat is Nizhny Novgorod, date is 2013, dry-dock is the ever ubiquitous PD-50.

Nizhy Novgorod never left service. That is just a standard repair job, nothing heavy.
Others, like Karp @ Svezdochka, are being repaired and modernized after sitting around for a long time waiting funds.

Russia to Refit 2 Sierra-Class Nuclear Subs
MOSCOW, May 14 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian Defense Ministry has signed a contract to refit two Soviet-era Sierra-class multipurpose nuclear submarines, the Zvezdochka shipyard said Wednesday.
"A contract was signed with the Defense Ministry to extensively refit two Project 945 [NATO reporting name Sierra]. One of the submarines has remained at the shipyard for over 10 years, the other will arrive this year," spokesman Yevgeny Gladyshev said.
The refit will extend the submarines' service for about 10 years.
The shipyard's workers are currently removing nuclear fuel from the reactor of the first submarine, the Karp, laid down in 1987. The submarine's refit is expected to be completed in 2017.
The Russian navy announced in early April that it expected to receive over ten modernized nuclear submarines by 2020.

"Zvedochka" shipyard stopped repair work on the submarine B-239 "Carp". Perhaps because of funding cuts

If the plan is currently to have no work, then yes, they are definitely going along with the MODs plan.
Zvezodchka in their statement explicitly avoided saying anything but "we are doing what MOD asks/pays for".

Resumption of construction of titanium submarines in Russia is not planned due to high cost, however, all four boats Project 945 will be upgraded, told RIA Novosti on Friday, a senior official of the Navy.

Scrapped? Because the reactor compartment appears to have been opened? Alternatively this could reactor de-fuelling required before entry into dry-dock for deep modernisation.

No one cares this much with an equipment that supposed to scrapped.
Painting striped, holes cleared/freed up,seems like they are doing deep maintanance.

Yes. Its the reactor/area that is being worked upon. Not sure whats going on - an upgradation or removal for scrapping. But the two 945 boats (Karp & Kostroma) were up for an upgradation programme (2015-2017/3 years) and enter active serivce.
