“RFS Moskva”
The MOSKVA is designed for just one thing, KILLING CARRIERS...
It is basically a fire and forget weapon, designed to try and overwhelm the defenses of a U.S. Carrier in a one-time strike. She was recently upgraded and modernized, and is considered the most effective unit in the Russian navy, even more so than the Kuznetzov.
