Thi Kidds are far superior to a Sovremenny. The MK26 launcher is more effective than VLS for a sea skimming threat. The sov is the same era, but built to attack U.S. carrier battle groups.
Russia makes pretty decent Military Equipment and needs the money.
China needs all the encouragment we can give it if it is going to attack Tiawan.
We have a bunch of frustrated Naval Officers who have yet to really get into the War on Terrorism.
Russia gets the money,
China gets something decent to fight with.
Our Naval Officers get something worth sinking and a little combat experience
Now that is Just Win Win Win all around in my book.
