Development dates and stated ranges suggest that individual ships may not have carried identical V-600 or V-601 Volna missile fits. The first cruiser may have entered service with the shorter-ranged weapon, while later ships were built ready for the improved missile. This ship-by-ship variation makes Kynda a record of development in motion rather than a fixed design standard. The high-pressure boiler plant was similarly capable but temperamental, and its behavior suggests influence from German engineering studied after the war. That machinery connection remains an inference because the account lacks supporting evidence from Russian archives. Later Kresta machinery appears to return toward a more reliable Soviet lineage, another sign that Project 58 tested choices that did not all persist.

Iterating air defence and machinery
The class illustrates how early Soviet missile and steam-plant choices were refined ship by ship rather than frozen in a single mature design.
