  1. The answer They aren't The picture is of Slava class cruiser which carries just 16 P-1000s for Anti-ship with the remaining missiles for self defense The US Ticonderoga-class cruiser has 122 VLS for 122 missiles for AAW, BMD, ASW, ASuW, and Land attack. More to point, weapons like the ESSM can quad packed in one VLS cell. The Ticos also have space for 8 container launched missiles which can Harpoon or LRASM. The newer models of Harpoon and the newer LRASM can attack both ships and land targets. While the P-1000 is powerful missile, it cant be used for anything beyond anti shipping The SM2 can attack both ships and aircraft, the SM-6 is designed for AAW, BMD, ASuW, and Land attack. and the TLAM can attack both ships and land targets In the end US ships have flexibility whereas Russia ships are one trick ponies

  2. Its simple facts US ships have flexibility whereas Russia ships are one trick ponies The picture is of Slava class cruiser which main weapon 16 P-1000s for Anti-ship with the remaining missiles for self defense While the P-1000 is powerful missile, it cant be used for anything beyond anti shipping. Its clones, the P-700 and P-800 can attack both ships and land targets however whereas the US TLAM range is over 900 miles. the P-700 range is 388 miles while the P-800 is 430. The Zircon range is 620 miles The Russia missiles are fast and carry large warheads but lack range. The TLAM isnt fast but has excellent range and options https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19XXTArAGaM The US Ticonderoga-class cruiser has 122 VLS for 122 missiles for AAW, BMD, ASW, ASuW, and Land attack.

The newer models of Harpoon and the newer LRASM can attack both ships and land targets. The SM2 can attack both ships and aircraft, the SM-6 is designed for AAW, BMD, ASuW, and Land attack. and the TLAM can attack both ships and land targets Now Russia with the Lider class is copying the USN MK-41 VLS with their own 3S14 VLS so their ships can also have the same flexibility as the USN ships
