Russian Kirov-Class Heavy Cruiser

The name Kirov identifies both Soviet heavy nuclear-powered missile battlecruisers of the Cold War and earlier Soviet cruisers. The large missile-armed class represented here in a modern heavy-cruiser context was designed to challenge major naval formations with a powerful combination of sensors, missiles, and supporting systems. Its nuclear propulsion and size distinguished it from ordinary destroyers. It is distinct from the much smaller gun-armed Kirov-class cruisers that served during the Second World War.

Surface missile ships depended on target information and a coordinated operational picture. Their imposing size did not remove the need for escorts, maintenance, and protection against aircraft or submarines operating beyond visual range.
