You know for I was actually amazed by the actual amount of hardware they've managed to pack into her. She's what 950 tonnes?Tonnage is only one metric. These were some of the most modern ships in the Russian navy and quite heavily armed. Likely had her air defense sensors off to avoid detection, but spent to long in one place. I think a lesson learned for South Pacific and Mediterranean ops is mobile basing, so your fleet support is always moving around.
Of course all tied up to dock during wartime doesn't strike me as particularly safe or smart.
