I am surprised but happy that the Russians have been unable to figure out a counter-measite to these.
I am sure every defense contractor out there is proposing solutions to the threat these cause now. The bidding process to update western navies defences has got to be fierce.
Phalanx CIWS seems like the correct tool for the job. Russia has a similar thing, ~~Kashtan~~ AK-630 CIWS. This boat was fitted with one, but it doesn't seem to be operating. Based on the disrepair of the flagship Moskva and it's CIWS which was not operational, I wouldn't be surprised if this boat's CIWS was also non-functional.
