Provided the carrier as well as the defense system Air Kashstan, which consists of guns and missiles . And provide a defense in the face of offensive weapons , including rockets minute surface / surface , and guided missiles to the radiation source radar , aircraft and small marine targets .
Carrier is equipped with eight groups of this defense system , which combines rocket launchers , 30 mm caliber gun double , and router optical and radar . The missile has a range targeted by the laser beam from 1.5 to 8 km . Cannon can be called even a thousand rounds per minute. Bearing system fitted as well as anti -submarine missiles Udav-1 provider sixty rockets , which protects ship Ptstat and destroy the attacking torpedo . And fitted well with mortar depths of the type 111 SG .

Load-bearing capacity derived from a traditional source , consists of eight boilers and four turbines, working hard vapor pressure, each of which produces a capacity of 50 thousand horsepower .
