It *will* mission kill it (render it unable to perform its mission), which is just as good for most purposes.

I don’t want to argue hypotheticals - in theory these kinds of carriers are designed to be quite operational even when hit.
The point was in emphasis - even if successful. In Ukraine all these Kinzhals etc have proven themselves to be utter failures.

I am also reminded of Sen. Moynihan - he once recalled that after getting access to classified intelligence and real data he, to his complete surprise, discovered that never ever Russia was ahead of the US in missiles, neither in quality, nor in quantity, nor in technology.

USA constantly enjoyed a significant advantage - while, as Moynihan said, we all the time were fearing an imminent demise...
