Must Read! The Largest and the Deadliest and Heaviest Naval battle Vessels on the planet! Kirov Class Battle Cruisers are the largest and heaviest surface combatant warships currently in active operation in the world. Among modern warships, they are second in size only to large aircraft carriers, and of similar size to a World War I-era battleship. With the displacement of 28,000 tonnes these ships are the only Nuclear powered beasts and heavily armed to stand alone! Armament- • 20 × P-700 Granit AShM • 14 × Silex ASW cruise missiles. • 96 S-300F Fort Grumble surface-to-air missiles. • 48 S-300F Fort and 48 S-300FM Fort-M long-range SAM • 128 9K95 Tor point defense SAM • 40 OSA-MA PD SAM • 1 × twin AK-130 130 mm/L70 dual purpose gun • 8 ×AK-630 six-barreled Gatling 30 mm. • 6 × CADS-N-1 Kashtan gun/missile system. • 1 × 10 RBU-1000 305 mm ASW rocket launchers • 2 × 6 RBU-12000 254 mm ASW rocket launchers • 10 × 533 mm ASW/ASuW torpedo tubes, Type 53 torpedo or RPK-2 Viyuga ASW missile. The above armament differs from ship to ship out of 4 ships of this class that were made. Now you can imagine our INS Kolkata with 8000 tonnes displacement is nowhere near to it! Should India also try its hand developing nuclear cruiser of this kind? #Corona
