The French clearly are outsiders in this program

DCNS Delivers its Final Proposal for Australia' SEA1000 Future Submarine Program
DCNS today lodged its final deliverables to the Australian Government’s Competitive Evaluation Process to select an International Program partner for the SEA1000 Future Submarine Program.

The proposal includes a Government to Government Agreement from The French Ministère of Defence’s Direction Générale de l’Armement (DGA) to the Commonwealth of Australia’s Department of Defence and a binding written commitment on key aspects of the deliverables.

This milestone has been achieved on schedule and marks the beginning of the Commonwealth of Australia’s evaluation phase.

Mr Sean Costello, CEO DCNS Australia, said “DCNS acknowledges the dedication from hundreds of people in France and Australia to the development of the Shortfin Barracuda Block 1A and a sovereign industry in Australia.”

“We have worked as a team to create the best possible solution for Australia’s future.”

Some nice footage (read: warship porn) released by the Russian defense ministry of the cruiser Moskva, which has just arrived on station off Syria (partly in response to the shootdown):

Really? Unlike, say, the German proposal, the French one would be nuclear-powered, with all the advantages that brings.

Which country would need a nuclear-powered submarine with such of pathetic tonnage (4000t)?

An-124's recent delivery, not just S-400, but also some Panstirs. Such new and expensive defense system won't just be settled rashly.

S-400 regiment is two (from 2014 three)S-400 battalions , 18 Pantsir + regimental radar systems (well, also few other things)
So, this is just S-400 regiment

So that means if other country wants to buy a battalion of S-400, then Pantsirs will be included?

Are you sure? I always thought that DCNS would offer a non nuclear-powered version of the Barracuda class to Australia. I didn't find any details on the proposed propulsion system, but this source claims that it's diesel-electric.

Hmm interesting. I assumed it would be nuclear-powered, since the Barracuda is and the article called the Shortfin a SSN. Then again, a conventional SSK would also make sense for Australia since thry don't have the nuclear industry to refuel a SSN.

why somebody want to buy just one battalion without regimental radar?

generally speaking S-400 battalion don't include Pantsir , this is separate part of Russian S-400 regiment

two or three S-400 battalions , 18 Pantsir + regimental radar systems is how Russia sees S-400 regiment
Other country can have other thought

Well, if you want experimented with S-400 regiment dont forget that in "field" S-400 always have support from
jamming and ELINT systems (SPN series jammers, Vera,Ramona,Valeria ELINT stations)or combined Jammer/ELINT system , as example Kamchatka regiment supported by "Krasukha-4" system (two pair of ELINT and OECM vehicle) ,can be more but cant be less ,
also S-400 usually have assigned from RTV forces radars

All this is so called additional forces , they can be (and usually are) added to S-400 regiment depending on situation

Indeed, the Shortfin Barracuda for Australia, while based on the Barracuda SSN of the French Navy, is an SSK

Russia employs ground troops and artillery in support of Assad in Syria: http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/r ... 64935.html (in German).

Apparently two soldiers of the 22nd Spetsnaz Brigade fell in combat already, and Msta-Bs of the 12oth Artillery Brigade are also in the theater.

New leaked images on the Type 901 40.000-50k tons AOE.

According to leaked specifications, it will be a Sino-Supply-class AOE, with fast speed (25+ knots) capable to keep up with China's future carrier-groups.

Seeing the images, the launch shouldnt be too far away.

Official Chinese media confirmation of the Su-35 deal!

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2015- ... 858791.htm
BEIJING, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- China confirmed a deal to buy Su-35 fighter jets from Russia on Thursday.

"The Su-35 fighter jet project is one of the areas in which China and Russia are willing to cooperate," said Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian in response to a question about the 2-billion-dollar deal.

The two countries will continue to enhance cooperation in military technology based on equality and mutual benefit, Wu said at a monthly press briefing.

While commenting on another question about Russia's plan to provide the first round of S-400 modern anti-aircraft missile systems to China within the next 12 to 18 months, Wu said cooperation is under way according to plans.

Air defense is an important part of China-Russia military technology cooperation, the spokesman added.

901 AOR , Su-35SK/MKK and a FOB are signals to look after the aerial and naval deployment and fortification at their very strings of Chjnese economy and global presence.

The mountain of global power is too big for a single superpower, and it's both allowing and demanding more tigers to rule. But what China must imminently needed is the logistic development. Without it, no matter how big the warships and planes are, they won't be settled anywhere else.
