It’s a highly modified Krivak. Then again, how many American designs are based on the 1970s Spruance class Destroyers? The Kidd Class, now operated by Taiwan, and out Ticonderoga Class cruisers are built on modified Sprue-can designs.

Emphasis on highly

Changed hull, engines, electronics, weapons (OK the RBU antisub rocket launchers are still there)
