<> "Soviet "Kresta"-class cruisers.

The "Kresta" class cruiser is a missile cruiser built by the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and 10 ships of the same class were built by the Zedanov shipyard in St. Petersburg, which began to enter service in the late 60s of the 20th century, and were all quickly decommissioned after the end of the Cold War. The Kresta-class cruisers are anti-submarine modifications of the Kresta-class cruisers, equipped with new SS-N-14 Flint anti-submarine missiles, SA-N-3 anti-aircraft missiles, and new sonar.

The main armaments of this class of ships include two quadruple SS-N-14 anti-submarine missiles, two twin SA-N-3 ship-to-air missiles (72 bombs in reserve), two twin 57 mm AK-725 naval guns, four 30 mm AK-630 close defense systems, and two five 533 mm torpedo tubes. In addition, the ship can carry 1 Ka-25***.

Basic parameters. Standard displacement: 5600 tons.

Related information: This is a total of 10 state-class ships, the first ship "Kronstadt" was commissioned in 1969, and its successor ships are "Makarov", "Voroshilov" and "Shaboyang". Judging from the hull structure and overall structure, the ship Zhiyin Slip was developed from the "Kresta I" class, but the purpose is completely different.

This class of ships is suitable for cooperating with large fleets to search for and attack enemy submarines, especially ballistic missile submarines, in vast sea areas. It was the first large ship built in the former Soviet Union with high long-range air defense and anti-submarine capabilities.
