The expert assessed the plans to increase the air defense capabilities of the Admiral Vinogradov

"It will be able to detect military targets at a greater distance, stop the flight of enemy strike weapons with its anti-aircraft missiles or projectiles. Such ships as the Admiral Vinogradov were created in Soviet times, during this time there was a sharp increase in air defense systems, new complexes appeared. Once installed, the ships will have increased capabilities to deal with air targets, both low-flying and high-flying, with medium-and shorter-range missiles that can be used by the enemy. Our navy now has very powerful and very effective air defense systems, they are already on new frigates, destroyers, and cruisers. They have shown very high reliability during combat service in the Mediterranean Sea and in the Indian Ocean, " Viktor Litovkin said.
