besides the fact that she is all but certainly getting Uran missiles we have no idea what they will be arming her with, if they stick in the Poyma-e targeting sytem, the new Shtil-1 VLS and some of the other new electronic goodies they have been working on for years she could be right up their with the Talwars. However if the only thing that sets the ship apart is its Urans, it will be a largely wasted hull in my opinion. The Kashin floating around in the black sea right now is little more than an Uran launching pad, the Russians obviously care more about ASM and SSM capability than anything else but this hull is obviously capable of handling more if you invest the $$$ in it.

As always it mostly a question of $$$.

She won’t be getting Shtil-1 VLS but rather retain the Klinok air defence missile system. Look ate the top of the forward superstructure: “as is” the ship has provisions for a front mounted MR-360 Podkat/Cross Sword SAM control radar, just like that found on the original first of class ship. If they were going to Shtil on here you would used Orekh fire control radars, which are much smaller and she would have at least 4. There would be no need for the forward sub-mast.
