Udaloy class is the anti-submarine destroyer. And they also have the surface to air missile that means it is anti-aircraft missile.
For more information.
There are 2 models in the Udaloy class which is Udaloy I and Udaloy II.
Admiral Vinogradov destroyer is the Udaloy I.
Only the destroyer in the Udaloy II that armed with SS-N-22 Sunburn(Russian:P-270 Moskit or 3M80).
SS-N-22 Sunburn is the anti-ship missile.
Now, there is only one destroyer ship in Udaloy II, that is "Admiral Chabanenko (DDG650)".
Thanks "Monsoon" for your info.
