Considering the state of the Russian navy, as shown by how the Moskva was barely seaworthy before she was sunk, letting NATO record and analyze it all may not be such a good idea. US and NATO are going to be looking for weaknesses, like how many or how few of the radars, sonars and fire control systems in the Russian fleet actually work. In the worst case, how well damage control works.
This show of force may end up showing more weakness than Putin expects, if he is capable of admitting it.

I think they are called missiles, no?
“This show of force may end up showing more weakness than Putin expects, if he is capable of admitting it.”
Sure, next the Ukes will be telling us this paper tiger is the biggest threat of all.
