From Krylya Rodiny 6-2004. No timeframe of project was described.

Initiative design of Korchagin's OKB, multi-purpose 'sea working horse' VTOL, born as branch of Korchagin-Beriev (Bartini) VVA-14 cooperative work, was proposed as smart alternative to Yak-38, supported by hi-rank naval aviation staff, but killed by MAP (Ministry of Aviation Industry). Drawings...

In 1996 Fakel exhibited their 9M100 short range SAM and 9M96 medium range SAM in front of an Su-35. Each missile was shown next to a launch canister.
