Probably some kind of mangling/misunderstanding between 20380/20385/20386 or something but they are saying 20380s will be reworked with Calibr & Pantsir.
It may be a question of translation or as I said some kind of journo misunderstanding but the way I read it they're talking about retrofits. I'm sceptical.And are taking about building new ones or retrofitting old ones?
Can those ships only use the 40km 9m96 missile or is it possible to use the longer version with 120km range ?

Any citation of 9M96E2 carrying AESA radars? I thought that was the 9M100 for Morfei. Thanks
