The Kiev class, Soviet designation Project 1143 Krechyet (gyrfalcon), was the first class of fixed-wing aircraft carriers (heavy aircraft cruiser in Soviet classification) built in the Soviet Union for the Soviet Navy.
The Novorossiysk design (Project 11433) was modified to provide for 50% more aircraft, as well as a new sonar and new electronic warfare equipment. She lacked Osa-M SAM, and instead was fitted to take the successor Kinzhal SAM (six VLS abaft the island and six forward to port), but due to lacking of that SAM in time of completion of the ship Novorossiysk came to service and served without point defence SAM. Also she would carry Yak-41 supersonic VTOL fighters, but she never received them.
The file contains all the sounds and pcx files. Model is not my own creation. Wyrmshadow provided the animation files and Ares de Borg did the sounds. I merely put the pieces together and cleaned up the model for CivIII and added some what if pieces. A big thanks to everyone that helped out!
