    Bit too low quality to really tell but something is going on around the missile tubes & they may have removed the scaffolding around superstructure.

    Maybe those are support frames that are used when the missile tubes were placed there by crane.

    Has lost the 'ladders'
    Project 1164 Atlant: Slava Class cruiser - Page 6 0bbe0d7ab8b4

    According to http://zvezdochka-ru.livejournal.com/381749.html they are about 1/2 way through mooring trials, expected to go to sea trials by the end of the year.
    Has had problems with sub-contractors not being up to the task apparently
    Yandex translate wrote:The main problematic issues VTG "Marshal Ustinov" are setting up the system of control of main engines, repairs of refrigeration equipment and commissioning works on control system power system of the ship.
    The delay in completion of set tasks linked to a number of factors.
    "Asterisk", specializing in the repair and modernization of submarines, for the first time faced with such a volume of new work on surface ships of cruiser class.
    Poorly prepared for this appeared and contractor organizations. Today business partners has the main task to eliminate delays in the repair of the cruiser, about what exactly was said in the text of the Protocol of the meeting.
    The limiting factors were the late delivery of the documentation management system main engines from design organizations, its incompleteness, long-term commissioning work and the identification of emerging faults, the novelty of this automation system.
    Also for the first time aginskoj the shipyard had to do repairs of refrigeration equipment.
    Besides the fact that they have a thirty-year period of operation, the manufacturer sank into oblivion.
    Analogues in Russia such machines as well as specialists in their maintenance and repair.
    The company "VNIIKHOLODMASH" ( Moscow), who undertook their restoration, showed their complete incapacity and incompetence in the repair and adjustment of equipment.
    The delay in final commissioning of the machines in operation does not give in full and with appropriate quality to carry out mooring trials of such major systems such as weapons systems, communications, radio AIDS.
    The lack of experience and experts from the co-executor of work hinders this process.
    However, until the end of the month work on refrigeration vehicles must be completed.
    A similar situation exists for control system of gas turbogenerators due to low qualification of specialists of the counterparty involved in the repair and commissioning of the system.

    You can't compare the Russian Navy to Maidan's one-frigate flotilla.
    Pity these guys get to keep Nikolaev shipyard and related facilities.

    I'd always assumed it wasn't finished due to being far from complete, not much more than an empty hull but it looks like it was actually pretty close to finished & I can understand why Russia was looking at buying it to complete for a while, a shame.

    This was going into repair (via Balancer forum)
    Project 1164 Atlant: Slava Class cruiser - Page 6 30-4329394-vytehlmzgvw
    Main external difference is the Boletus http://smp-salyut.ru/?p=272 & Fregat http://smp-salyut.ru/?p=311 radars. (links in Russian)
    There is new EW gear too.
    Big question if they upgraded the S-300/how much &/or if they put Calibr launchers in the Granit tubes. Apparently not though which I think is a huge lost opportunity No could have been a 48* Calibr/Onyx salvo.

    Well, if they are replacing the Granit launchers in Oscar class SSGNs with three tubes of Onyx or Kalibr, then replacing the Vulkan launchers with Onyx/Kalibr tubes should not have been impossible... though Vulkan is angled heavily... much more so than Granit.

    It's not a problem for Onix, Russian modified Nanushka class and some Indian destroyer use them this way. But I don't think it's the case for Kalibr. Maybe the submarine lunch version could as it can be lunched by torpedo tubes but surface version are design to be lunch by VLS.

    They did have a test rack for the Nanuchka boats, but we really don't know the results as to how that actually performed in those tests.

    An angled launch should not be that much of an issue...
