Same problem that the second CNN article above mentions: you do not want to be in harms way with a ship as vulnerable to engine and techncial breakdown as these seem to be.
Also, crew training. Which includes engineering. Damage control. I just assume you do not learn this in one crash course over the weekend. Bridge electronics. Pitiful sonar. The Russians still have some frigates left, and submartines, and corvettes, and it seems the sinking of the Makarow was a wrong message.
The French delivered them corvettes. One or two of these got blown up already in the beginning of the war, I seem to recall.
