In the United States, they told who will win in the battle between a Russian cruiser and an American destroyer

The American publication National Interest tried to answer the question of who would win in a possible battle between the Russian

the Kirov-class cruiser and the American guided-missile destroyer Zumwalt.

Translation of the material was provided by Military Review. It clarifies that by the Russian cruiser the Americans apparently meant the Pyotr Velikiy of Project 1144.2 Orlan.

The author of the National Interest stated thatThe Zumwalt is the most advanced destroyer in the United States Navy. Stealth technology was used in its creation. It is identified on the radar as a small fishing boat. The destroyer has 80 launchers for various missiles and two 155 mm artillery mounts. But the "Kirov" is equipped with anti-ship missiles "Granit".

The author simulated a battle on the high seas.Here Zumwalt has an advantage due to its stealth technology. Most likely, he will be the first to discover the Russian cruiser. The destroyer will cope with a possible but unlikely attack from the Kirov thanks to its air defense system. But the Zumwalt doesn't have anti-ship missiles.

On the whole, the author comes to the conclusion that the fight will end in a draw.
