The Slava would most likely just be a white elephant. She is designed for long range open ocean cruising and has quite a big crew (around 500) for a small coastal navy. They would be better off buying some corvettes and maritime strike aircraft. A couple 1000 ton costal submarines could be handy but a Foxtrot or German 209 is a little too big for the black sea.

BTW I think the Azov has been scraped.
