Hardly, knowing too much already and their limitation.
Even the Chinese themselves despise the practice, albeit they could not say so on the record.
Sure but the Americans have already known all the strength and weakness of those Russian design when the Chinese are busy to do the refurbishment.
Simply put, those Russian designs are impressive in terms of firepower but they are more vulnerable compared to the Americans.
Plus the Russian quality of shipbuilding work is sub-par, albeit not as worse as the Indians.
Sounds like notty usual tact to hype up non-American weapons in order to bash our neighbor, aka the Great Satan.
Again, good luck for the Chinese to get their weapons working and their Beidou satellite systems in place for precision navigation.
