|
This section is dedicated to pictures of the 'Kynda' class missile cruiser. Our pictures are Cold War originals that were taken at some time when the ship was in active service. They are also in the physical possession of the Sword of the Motherland Foundation. We will add more photographs as they are acquired, but until then, will do our best with what we have.

Soviet Navy in the Mediterranean This picture was taken by the United States Navy in March of 1973. It shows a Kynda missile cruiser (right), a Kashin missile destroyer (middle), and a Kara missile cruiser (left) leading the squadron. These ships have been detached from the Black Sea fleet for patrol duty in the eastern Mediterranean sea. |

A close up of the 'Varyag' This picture of Kynda 047 shows many of the electronics and sensor systems of the 'Varyag'. In addition to this, it also shows the details of several of the weapons stations, such as (from right to left) the RBU-6000 launcher, 'Goa' anti-aircraft missile launcher, 'Shaddock' anti-ship missile launcher, and two small AGS6-30 gun turrets along the side of the vessel. This picture was taken by the US Navy on 5 October 1981, but no location was given. |
