the MiG 29Ks can't be operated from it as they are too big to take off or land at the around 28,000-tonne warship

OK the present lack of wires may be a problem, but 50 years ago this ship operated the Supermarine Scimitar - similar size, weight, wing area (and only 60% of the power)

Beautiful plane, and it had four 30mm cannons! Bet it could make a heck of a strafing run...
