A hypothetical Nakhimov and Type 055 group off Britain

A Type 83 revival remains uncertain in a scenario combining Admiral Nakhimov with two or three Type 055 destroyers.

Question

Could a surface group led by Admiral Nakhimov and two or three Type 055 destroyers force Britain to revive Type 83?

Short answer

The exchange does not settle whether the scenario would revive Type 83.

Notes

The question imagines Admiral Nakhimov operating with two or three Type 055 destroyers near Britain. Whether such an appearance would lead to Type 83 being revived remains open. A difficult political situation for the British government leads to a joke that ministers would offer a small drone as the response. The exchange gives no operational comparison between the proposed surface group and British forces.
