I asked question about Kirov armor on the Russian Navy thread, people responded with schematics and such. It has armored citadels (100mm around Granit launchers AFAIR), so knocking out weapons or propulsion with that gun at range, or even with any sort of subsonic missile due to lack of energy for penetration, is questionable. It is a ship that’s clearly designed to sustain some hits.
