also, how can our stealth frigates and stealth destroyers be based on russian designs when russia itself does not have a stealth air defense destroyer comparable to the 052C?
omg this man is completely giving me goosebumps,he now says russia dont have any stealth frigates and destroyers
can you tell me the longest range of a Russian navy air defense missile? think it's the 9M330 on the Udaloy class.
"Weighing in at 167 kg (368 lb), the 9M330 missile is 3.5 m (11.5 ft) long, carries a 15 kg (33 lb) warhead and has a peak speed of around Mach 2.8. Utilizing command guidance and radar controlled proximity fuzes, the missiles can maneuver at up to 30Gs and engage targets flying at up to Mach 2. Each missile is a sealed round, stored in two groups of four. Engagement range is up to 12 km (1-7.5 miles) with minimum range varying between 100-2000 m (328-5,621 feet), depending upon version and an effective altitude of 10-6000 m (33-20,000 ft).[10]"

Or what about the 9М38 on the Sovermeny with a pitiful 30 km range?
compared to our air defense destroyers with 200 km range coverage thanks to the HHQ-9?
Compare stealth:

As you can see, there is significant surface architecture and curves, making a large RCS almost impossible to avoid.
Photo of the 052C:

Almost no architecture on the surfaces, which are completely smooth and clean, making RCS much smaller.
Do you want to compare naval radars:
Ukranian naval radar (itself representative of Soviet level equipment): 160 km range
Type 348 chinese naval radar: 350 km range.
so why would we copy something inferior?
