The design is looking good so far, with a wing of 50 aircraft, they'll be the largest and most powerful class of carriers in the world next to the Nimitz class. Admiral Kuznetsov is in the same size range as the Queen Elizibeth class, but she can only carry 20-30 aircraft due to her battery of Granit missiles. Hopefully, government incompetence or some "white paper" won't kill them before they're complete, and hopefully, BOTH of them will be completed.
