Hmm but Kilo haven't TA sonar. Instead TA kilo have Low Frequency cylindical sonar with range from 45 Hz to 800 Hz

Akula for LF use only TA sonar.
Bow sonar for Akula have range from 800 Hz to 2000 Hz

It means Kilo bow sonar can show you 1st 2nd 3rd lines of acoustic signature
but Akula bow sonar only 4th and 5th

There is an export towed sonar marketed for Improved Kilos, but none were sold I think.
