That is a very nice picture. Is that pic from the joint PLAN, Russian exercises earlier this year? Those two vessels would form a fairly potent Surface Action Group (SAG), and the PLAN now has the capability of forming such a group at any time, particularly if you add one of the 52Cs or 51s in their for area AAW coverage.

one of the explainations given to me was that the darker Russia scheme better masks the ship from peeping eyes from above while the whiter scheme of the Chinese ship better masks it from other surface targets. Really just a matter of preference, and a trivial one in my opinion.
The USN uses, I think Navy Grey, apparently it helps in "comouflaging" the ship.
Also, does anybody know how well armored those Sunburn launchers are? I mean a well placed 5 inch gun looks like it would penetrate it setting catastrophic fires and explosions from the missiles fuel.
It's not only the drawings in the book, but it's data section states so also. I quess we just need to wait (like with so many other stuff too) and see...I personally think the 153-56 is more closer to thge truht than the Weyer's 160m.
The new soveremnnyy class’s just this week left the Baltic’s approaches.
it has the same layout as 138. Not surprisingly its number is 139.
It has 2 new weapon systems on the super structure looking very much like a Shahine/Crotale /HQ7 clone.
