Yep, couldn't agree more.

There are 2 relevant Kievs for the Kola map - the Kiev (i.e. the original TAVKR Pr. 1143) and the Baku (later the Admiral Flota Sovetskogo Soyuza Gorshkov), which is a Pr. 1143.4.

Personally, I'd be much more interested in the former - it had a longer service life, relevant for the entirety of the late Cold War period - the flagship of the Northern Fleet. While it has a weaker point-defence SAM system in the 4K33 Osa-M [SA-N-4 Gecko] (with 40 9M33 missiles) as opposed to the 3K95 Kinzhal [SA-N-9 Gauntlet] (with 192 9M330 missiles), it carries a medium-range SAM system with the M-11 Shtorm [SA-N-3 Goblet] (w/ 96 V-611 missiles). It also carries 4 more P-500 [SS-N-12 Sandbox Mod 1] AShMs (albeit 8 as reloads, the Baku has 4 more launchers).

Moskva helicopter carrier was part of Black Sea fleet for entire service live so it's way less fitting Kola map, but i agree with Kiev+Yak-38 addition, but IMO request should rather go to Kola map producer. Also I would welcome Sovromenny class destroyer, it would be interesting and challanging asset to have
