These old Russian Kashin class destroyers were the starting point for the design of the modern indigenous Delhi ( Mumbai ) class DDG's.
I do love how the Indians do this & come up with such exotic ships. Wonder what their next generation carriers will look like.

Methinks you're on the wrong planet ! That looks very much like 'Coruscant' down there beyond the cloud cover.
