What Wiki dosen't tell - is that Udaloy and Sovremenny were meant to operate in pairs (heard that in some Russian documentary film). Udaloy was responsible for anti-sub component and Sovremenny provided escort and together two ships had double anti-ship and anti-air capabilities. Another interesting thing is that both classes have sea-to-land capabilities limited to artillery systems and specialized more in dealing with sea and air threats. But that was common with all Soviet designs.
