Russia's Leader-Class Nuclear Destroyer

[Penguin]

;
Russia's new Leader-class destroyers are seemingly giving the Pentagon the shivers.

Still, Russia's new Lider (Leader)-class destroyers are evidently giving US military experts the shivers, prompting a heated debate on whether or not Russia is able to revive its military industry after since the collapse of the USSR.

Experts note that the vessel would become the world's third nuclear-powered destroyer after the American USS Truxtun (DLGN-35) and USS Bainbridge (DLGN-25). However, according to designers, Russia's warship will outpace its American counterparts.

INTERESTINGLY, ther is NO EVIDENCE whatsoever given to indicate Pentagon shivers. So, it is not all so evidently. There also ISN"T a debate. And those "experts" ingnore the California and Virginia classes CGN (which is also what Truxton and Bainbridge were classified). They also ignore the USS Long Beach (17,500 tons)

Typical Sputniknews (Putins a s s whipe) quality

More to the point: NOT ANYWHERE NEAR 17500 tons.....

Russia modernizes 3 of 4 built Kirov. The new radars, new missiles, new computer systems.

I read somewhere that each cruiser wil have more than a thousand missiles of different types.
