OK I get it now the CV idea is another project that's still in a dream state
.
According to an old Tass article the amphib assualt ships are going to be designed for rotary wing aircraft and marines. I think that would've been perfect for ops like those off the coast of Syria. Does Russia have any VTOL jets? If not and they still want a seaborne fixed wing carrier platform they'll just have to keep dumping money into the old Admiral Kuznetsov.
