Hi,
The other day I was taking a look for no special reason at my old book "Kiev & Kuznetzov Russian Aircraft Carriers" by Barry Dean published in 1993 by Concord when I notice a strange radar in the bottom picture on page 28, it also appear on page 18 and on page 19 you can see its box plainly.
Well for those who don’t have the book the radar (I think its a guidance radar of some sort as it have a small round dish) is in a box between the rear SA-N-3 Shtorm and the AK-276 dual 76mm gun, the box has a lead the opens to starboard and stands on two supports and when opened the radar inside pops up, the radar is only visible in a couple of pictures taken probably at anchor in a port, it is a small radar with a round dish.
I linked the weapons with directors and found that none is missing its FC, I tried other pictures and data (in my not so big library and on the net) but found nothing about it, and I'm curious regarding warships (even if its one that's now a Hotel as it seems) so out of pure curiosity:
The author doesn’t say a word about it although he is very thorough in other pictures, anyone knows what that is ? A radar or something else ?
Thanks for the info.

PS: I could post a picture of it but I'm a bit reticent about copyrights and stuff...
