I'm just wondering, have any drawings or artist impressions of the original Project 705 design, before they changed over to the design that would lead to the Alfa class, surfaced (no pun intended!) in recent times?
Model of Sukhoi S-90-200 from USSR-Russian Aviation and Space Collectibles.

In the Eighties there was an infamous spate of submarine incidents in Swedish waters, apparently involving mini submarines penetrating close to shore (and even inside harbour areas). From the reports at least some of these would appear to have been fitted with Caterpillar/Tank style Tracks...
Hi,
Please note the designs of Alexeyev.

In August 1965 TsKB-16, later Rubin, was directed to respond to the Tactical-Technical Elements (TTE) requirement for a large diesel-electric submarine LST designated Project 748. The design bureau, realizing the limitations of conventional propulsion for this submarine's missions, additionally...
In 1949 a preliminary draft for a missile submarine designated Project P-2--to strike enemy land targets--was drawn up at TsKB-18 (later Rubin) under chief designer FA Kaverin. The submarine was to have a surface displacement of almost 5,400 tons and carry 12 R-1 ballastic missiles, a Soviet...
In 1970, the Soviet Navy started Project 1165 Fugas to create a nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser. Also at this time, the Soviet Navy intended Project 1144 Orlan to be a nuclear-powered surface ship of some 9,000 tons displacement.
Information on Project 1165 is very scarce and there is...
The Kronshtadt class (Project 69) were a class of battlecruisers ordered for the Soviet Navy in the late 1930s. In the Soviet Union they were called "heavy cruisers" or thyazholyi kreyser.
Two ships were started, but none were completed due to World War II. These ships had a complex and...
In the mid 1980s, the Soviet Navy determined that a new weapon system was needed to deal with the ever-increasing power of US Navy carrier battle groups. At the time, the Project 949 (Granit) and Project 949A (Antey), NATO reporting names Oscar I and Oscar II, nuclear-powered guided missile...

Soviet Navy Project 1080 ballistic missile cruiser. The intention was to create a land-attack capability similar to that offered by a US Navy aircraft carrier. Design work was begun in 1970 by Neva PKB.
General Characteristics
Displacement: 15,000 to 16,000 tons
Length: 215 meters (705 feet)...

Does anyone have any more info or even pictures of this mysterious sub?
I'm assuming it had some kind of research role like the Project 1710 Beluga and it did see some service with the Black Sea Fleet during the late 1980s.
Any info much appreciated.
The Soviets had a number of stilborn aircraft carrier projects from the 1930's all the way through to the 1990's.
One of the most studied was Project-72 dating back to WW-II (1943) I think. Other projects include Project-69A, Project-85 and Project 1123 (Moskova concepts) before getting to the...

Hi,
a little known aircraft to MiG :
MiG-115: was a single-turboprop staggered and unbraced biplane
utility aircraft.
MiG-125: light business jet powered by two Williams-Rolls FJ-44
turbofans engines.
For counter Ticonderoga Class, Soviet also want a new class fighting ship which could be build in scores. Afterall, the Kirov class is too expensive. So here we see a new class that looks nuch similar with Ticonderoga.
