The basic hull design dates back to the early 70s.

Your comment is interesting. With satellites, human Intel,etc. is there really such a thing as “stealth”?. Maybe the Russians are going for solid force projection over longer ranges , survivability and a very strong missle and gun hitting power instead.

We have exactly one stealth ship that’s overweight, over budget and was so cost-cut in the end that it isn’t actually stealthy. Meanwhile, the few other new ships we have are made to a 60s/70s design and have far less stealth materials (no radar absorptive materials, no IR exhaust suppression) integrated into their structure than this Russian class.

Something to think about.
