Thank you for the mention. That does seem to be a bit of overkill for the situation.
At any rate, I was curios what the Admiral Kuznetsov looked like in comparison to our carriers. It appears it's a paultry carrier in relation to the carriers in our fleet. None the less, I'm sure it could cause plenty of trouble if it needed to.
I know that lifting deck design isn't something new. The British carriers had that too. Seems like it would be tough on the landing gear, but I guess it's been tried and works just fine.

As such, it is more than big enough for their purposes, which is to dissuade the Turkish Air Force from getting involved.
