Well, it only took them 35 years to catch up with our Vertical Lunching System. I wonder if they can launch any missile type from any VLS cell without modification - we can.
Looks to me like the dual band radar is the real upgrade. We have it - just not widely deployed.
If they are anything like the Soviets, the labs could design and make prototypes that were superb; however, when it came time to produce from the factories, nothing but rubbish came out. I once had a walk through an Udaloj class destroyer when it was fairly new, and many things didn’t work as designed and below decks, it really stank. The smell of USN berthing spaces is nothing to write home about, but there seemed to be little or no moving fresh air in the Soviets.
