Proyect 11990 test ship and Proyect 13040 Anchor.

will be escort of nuclear power carrier.

This is from the Never Were Warships forum - the original scanned source is unknown to me.

In any event, the pseudo-Aegis proposal was brought up again in the mid to late 90s and perhaps some of the techology was applied to China's current Type 052C - although some claim that China directly copied the SPY-1 Aegis through espionage?

Yes, I saw the forum.

Unlikely (no SPG-62 equivalent to be seen on that ship).

Picture labeled 11990 is Anchar DDGN, version with combined nuclear and gas turbine powertrain. Project 13040 has no relation to Anchar, it's a different project of Soviet experimental ship of modular design. Official soviet name is OUK - evaluation and training ship. The drawing looks like a crude side view of Anchar CONAG version.

Overall design reminds me of scaled up INS Talwar. Can imagine an Indian cruiser looking like that.

First one is for ASW, I guess. 2 x 4 533mm launch tubes front, standard soviet ASW mortar/rocket launcher. Litlle AA weapons to be seen.

Second would be a point defence ship it seems, two vls units on the front deck. Don't appear to be the standard SA-N-6 launchers used one the Orel and Varyag class cruisers though.

When where these projects proposed?

This last image doesn't look like a real ship. Too many escape rafts... They got over enthusiastic with the crew numbers...

It looks over-weaponed even by Soviet standards, as well.
