It’s 20’years obsolete as it has no stealth features
The basic hull design dates back to the early 70s.

Its 20years obsolete as it has no stealth features
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.
