The first videos and photos of the heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser of Project 1144.2M "Admiral Nakhimov" undergoing factory sea trials have appeared online.
The footage shows that the ship has retained the hardware units of the six-channel rotary illumination and guidance radars 92N6, as well as four combat modules of the Pantsir-M anti-aircraft missile and gun systems (ZRPK).
This configuration allows for target designation to at least 12 active radar homing heads (ARH) of the 9M96DM long-range high-maneuverability anti-aircraft missiles.
