It Is Going To Be A Heavily Armed Vessel
The Laika class is going to arrive with 8 BLS missile silos. In combination, the KALIBR cruise missiles or the anti-ship Onix cruise missile may be featured. It is going to come on top of that, with ten torpedo tubes. These things, however, are not what frightens the United States Navy.

A New Weapon Is Also In The Works
You see, the Laika class is arriving with a groundbreaking weapon known as the 3M22 Zircon Hypersonic. It is a cruise missile which can hit ships at sea, as well as land targets, up to the speed of Mach 9. This is going to make it complicated for the missile defenses of the United States Navy to combat attacks.
