I made this thread for discussion of aircraft carriers, thier
importance in battle, their abilities, etc. First I would want
to make it clear that aircraft carriers from different countries
are built to different standard. For example Russia and USA have
different standards in their aircraft carriers. Russia makes its
aircraft carriers by leaning more toward the missile defence
system. Russian aircraft carriers can even arry nukes. The ship
has a Granit anti-ship missile system equipped with twelve
surface-to-surface missile launchers. The Granit missile (NATO
codename SS-N-19 Shipwreck) is reported to have a range greater
than 400km and is capable of carrying either a nuclear or
conventional warhead. The Klinok air defence missile system,
with 24 vertical launchers and 192 missiles, defends the ship
against anti-ship missiles, aircraft and surface ships. The
system has a multi-channel electronically steered phased array
radar and can achieve a firing rate of one missile every 3s.
Four targets can be engaged
