Soviet aircraft carrier — integrated naval-air coverage, long-range strategic strike.
The Admiral Kuznetsov carrier (Project 1143.5) is the sole aircraft carrier serving in the Russian Navy. Designed during the Cold War, it combines a ski-jump flight deck with heavy anti-ship missiles — a uniquely hybrid doctrine. In WC4, it is a tier-S naval elite unit that fuses air coverage with naval strike: it generates air sorties like a carrier while retaining the heavy arsenal of a battlecruiser.
Generates 1 air sortie per turn (fighter or light bomber). Air units inherit 50% of carrier's stats. (Lv.12: 2 sorties, 75% stats.)
Fires 12 P-700 Granit anti-ship missiles at a target within 3-5 tiles. Ignores 40% naval defense. Cooldown 3 turns. (Lv.12: range 7 tiles, ignores 60%.)
