It looks as though alot of the western analysts are a bit stunned as they didnt expect to see the numbers coming out of the shipyards so quickly and so soon, if they replace udaloy and sovremenny with gorshkovs i still see a lack of ASuW ability which could under mine the whole new building programme.

Gorshkov class carries 16 UKSK cells, which could carry AShMs. Even if it carries 8 Yahonts it is still an improvement in terms of ASuW capability over Sovremeny class. And then you get the hypersonics capability in the future.

So 1 for 1 replacement for the Udaloys and Sovremenys would be ok ish, 2 for 1 replcement would be nice.

Subsim, do you read the articles you add?
