I would not smirk if they are armed with Russian sunburns. They are carrier killers and there is no defense against them once fired.

The Klub looks rather nice on paper. It is long ranged and supersonic. Frankly, it looks better than the Harpoon 2.

AS for the design of the frigate, i preffer the new Saudi class of La Fayettes.

As far as I am concerned, the best new frigates are the German, Dutch, and Spanish new frigates.

True, the Russians may be poor (only for the time being) but they still have top rate scientists, technicians, engineers etc. And a Russian-Indian pact seems mutually beneficial and good for the US too as they would concentrate more on containing China than being inimical to the US

the Russians may be poor

I thought the last year or so the Russian economy (and oil revenues) have been booming... if i am not mistaken Russia recently posted some huge account surpluses...

(They may be "poor" but i suspect not as poor as they were!)
