Slava
The Slava class cruisers are advanced Russian Navy surface combatants known for their firepower, speed, and versatility, designed to engage enemy ships, submarines, and aircraft. With a displacement of 11,500 tons, they feature robust armor, gas turbine engines for a top speed of 32 knots, and an array of weapon systems, including 16 P-500 Bazalt missiles and 3S90 Kinzhal air defense systems, along with helicopter facilities for enhanced operational flexibility.
Kara
The Kara class cruisers, developed by the Soviet Union and designated Project 1134B Berkut B, were guided missile cruisers primarily designed for anti-submarine warfare, featuring the Metel (SS-N-14 Silex) missile system and gas turbine engines for enhanced efficiency and stealth. Equipped with advanced command and control facilities, anti-aircraft weaponry, and notable ships like the Azov, which tested the S-300 missile system, these cruisers served the Soviet and later Russian navies.
Project 61M (Kashin)
The Soviet Kashin class destroyers, or Project 61, were anti-aircraft guided-missile destroyers introduced in the 1960s, notable for their advanced design and capabilities, including external gas turbine servicing and nuclear fallout protection. While retired from the Russian Navy by 2020, modified versions remain active in the Indian Navy as Rajput-class destroyers, featuring enhanced armament and technology upgrades throughout their operational history.
