Missile Cruiser "Kirov" is the boss of mission 3 from Carrier Air Wing. It is based on the Kirov-class battlecruiser.
Real World Information[]
The Kirov class, Soviet designation Project 1144 Orlan (sea eagle), is a class of nuclear-powered guided missile cruisers of the Soviet Navy and Russian Navy, the largest and heaviest surface combatant warships (i.e. not an aircraft carrier or amphibious assault ship) in operation in the world. Among modern warships, they are second in size only to large aircraft carriers, and of similar size to a World War I-era battleship. The Soviet classification of the ship type is "heavy nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser" (тяжёлый атомный ракетный крейсер). The ships are often referred to as battlecruisers by Western defence commentators due to their size and general appearance.

Details[]
Kirov can be seen in the sea and has two turrets on the front and a rocket launcher which launches rockets up and will shoot three bullets towards the player if destroyed. At the back, there is a missile launcher, radar tower and three turrets. Then, the player will turn back and the back rocket launcher will get activated and will launch rockets. There is a small garage also at the back where a helicopter will fly and will shoot rockets at the player.
The weak point is the ship's bridge. However, if the roof of the bridge is destroyed, then it will shoot fireballs and shoot 3 bullets. The boss can be destroyed if the player destroys the bridge fully or by destroying all its weapons.
