And depended on a elderly version 3d air search radar not suitable for surface skimmers in heavy seas for complete coverage?
Combine that with a hull of paint-reinforced rusted steel, you have a recipe for disaster.
And they were a capital ship operating without pickets ships?

What sort of naval doctrine do the Russians teach their Officer corps? There's more than a couple Admirals that need to be sacked.

Along with whomever decided that 180 degrees of phased array is sufficient for an operating warship. Especially in bathtubs like the Black Sea or Baltic with potentially 290 + degrees of potentially hostile land based launch sites to contend with.
