From the Wikipedia page for the Zircon: "Its Mach 9 speed means that it cannot be intercepted by existing missile defence systems and its precision makes it lethal to large targets such as aircraft carriers."
Between drones and the fact that the US, China, and Russia all have missiles capable of taking them out, #AircraftCarriers may be as obsolete now as battleships were in WWII.
As an aside, I'm pretty sure #Gorshkov is not "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union".

Royal Navy deck crew prepare Supermarine Seafire IIC’s for take off. Though it was based on the Spitfire VC, the MkIIC was the first Seafire to be built rather than converted - date and location unknown #worldwartwo #worldwar2 #ww2 #worldatwar #secondworldwar #conflict #history #worldwartwopictures #war #worldwar2pictures #historyofwar #historyofwarfare #royalnavy #raf #seafire #spitfire #aircraftcarriers
