It's not that. Aegis isn't radar nor it is anti air system.(or, to be precise, AWS, which includes recognizable spy radar arrays is it's integral part), it's integrated command&control system.
In Russian terms it's ASBU, I.e. "automated combat management system".
You can be aegis-like with single rotating antenna(PAAMS/empar combo, for example; not the best example since they aren't equivalent, but nah). Or not be with several same fixed phased arrays and mk.41 VLS(Sachsen class).
It isn't good or bad, it's question of system architecture.

Aegis in Russian terms is БИУС = многофункциональная боевая информационно-управляющая система; your "ASBU", obviously АСБУ = автоматизированная система боевого управления, is for example included even in a Bastion-P battery (inside of this truck:
so much for Russian terms
the source I quoted in

implies
- the new radar will be able to ALSO detect UAVs, CMs, surface targets (and guide respective missiles against them), and
- it'll be ALSO possible to direct CIWS fire using it;
(EDIT if they indeed installed all this on Buyan-Ms)
I would say it's
Aegis-Lite-like
('Lite' due to its limited range, reportedly up to 70 km to detect and up to 40 km to guide), and you may have the last word here, Battleship Gloire (I'm not going to respond)

they say (just very briefly) this version:
- can be operated from pilot's cockpit or operator's cockpit;
- obtained composites to be able to withstand hits by up to 30 mm;
- to be deployed since 2018

air data sensors mounted on the cannon barrel?

you mean this like harpoon in front?
people were joking about it in Russian Internet; I figured it's a Doppler velocity sensor(by the way I've read the pilot above had
on)
The Russian armada is getting ready to depart for the Mediterranean! The flotilla consists of the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, the nuclear-powered battlecruiser Pyotr Velikiy, the Udaloy class destroyer Severomorsk and some auxiliaries. The aircraft carrier is expected to deploy with a mixed inventory of KA-27/KA-29 Helix and KA-52K attack helicopters.
as well as SU-33 and MIG-29K fighters.
