That thing doesn't look stealthy at all.

That's OK as long as a Kali cult doesn't gain control of India.

Doesn't appear very "stealthy" to me. In fact it kinda looks like a "Burke".

Until very recently, Russian surface combatants have had very cluttered decks which would indicate a very large radar crossection. Given the difficulties involved in maintaining stealth aircraft (special hangars, buttering the seams, etc.) I think that naval "stealth" is pretty much limited to contouring the hull & superstructure. This Krivak doesn't look special in that regard.

It good to see commerce from Russia. It may be a warship, but the more they sustain themsevles the less problems we will have over here.

[Snickersnee]

there are "stealth" suface combatants in the works but this isn't one of them. Krivaks have been around for goin' on three decades now.

[PogySailor]

A Krivak? Wow, India sure is getting cutting edge equipment /sarcasm.

Should be good for both sides and for the US. India seems to be moving towards the US camp and will definitely be able to wean the Russians away from the french and Germans by boosting Russia's trade with non-EU countries which are friendly to the US.
