In June 1977, by the order of the Navy Command the ship Project 1144.2 was re-classified as the Heavy Nuclear Missile Cruiser. When the first 1144 (Kirov) was already on the slip, an attempt was made to separate Anti-Air, Anti-Submarine escort and surface strike functions once again, starting design of nuclear escort 11990 and nuclear strike cruiser 12930. The 12930 was a quite short lived, with preference given to the conventionally powered 1164 instead.
Project 11990 Anchar had much longer life-span, although on paper only, before it was eventually cancelled in 1990. At 12,000 tons, Anchar was envisaged to escort the future nuclear propulled Orel-class Soviet aircraft carriers. Anchar was entrusted to the engineers V. Perevalov and V. Yukhnin, even if the true father of the project was always Admiral Gorshkov. New anti-aircraft missiles and ASM with vertical launching, and a new turret of 130mm were developed. The propullsion system was original: gas turbines for cruising and a nuclear reactor for high speed. Abandoned up in 1990, at the same time as the Ulyanovs aircraft carrier, Anchar was used as a basis for a study of two classes of future general-purpose ships, which projects were announced on the occasion of the centenary of the Russian navy in 1996, the Squandron Ship and and the "Universal Ship".

During continuous launching operations, the system is capable, under ideal conditions, of a
successive firing rate of (1) Standard missiles at 10-second intervals and (2) Harpoon missiles at about 22-second intervals. This action continues until a cease-fire order is given or the missile capacity (excluding the GMTR) of the magazine is exhausted.

For the twin arm Mk26 GMLS (one of the - if not the - fastest rail launching systems around)
A firing rate of two missiles approximately every 9 seconds (with a 1-second salvo time delay) can be maintained.

both ships capable of 533mm launched SS-N-15 'Starfish' and SS-N-16 'Stallion' ASW missiles. The UVLM is capable to interchange between Brahmos and Klub-N
1) Because they have 533mm torpedo tubes?
2) However, there is no indication or record of India acquiring either
RPK-2 (a 1960s system)or
Vyuga RPK-6 Vodopad (the successor 1080s system). So, in the absence of such materials, they are not so armed (even if they had 533mm torpedo tubes ... ;-).
You can go google how many Type054A frigate commission before you purposely used the word "most'
Count the 053 frigates, and Luda's.
I didn't answer any of your question. And you keep giving irrelevant info non regarding to this thread to try prove what point? We are talking abt apple and you give orange?
Sure. I didn't ask any question.
These are just concept. Nothing realistic has happen from Russia. How many has tested? How many has installed onboard? None...
Sure . I think that demonstrates enough about you knowledge. See Steregushy, Gorshkov, Grigorovich classes
