Lore:
In the shadows of a changing world order, where the echoes of the past still resonate in people's hearts, a colossal testament to Ukrainian determination rises from the mists of history: the Ukraina, a Slava-class guided-missile cruiser that was never completed, she rose like a phoenix rising from the ashes of the Soviet Union.

After the abrupt collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia quickly adopted an aggressive posture, a gesture that threatened Ukraine's newly minted independence. But Ukraine, strengthened by abundant resource discoveries in the east of the country, was economically robust. This newfound strength gave the nation the courage and means not only to defend itself on land and in the air, but also to maintain its presence in the Black Sea Sea.

With strategic foresight and a touch of nostalgia, Ukraine decided not only to build new ships, but also to renew the proud Ukraina, an unfinished relic of past power. This decision was not only a symbolic act of resistance, but also a bold commitment to Ukraine's maritime sovereignty.

Ukraina, once a steel giant intented for the Soviet Black Sea fleet, was to be reborn through Ukrainian engineering and innovation. Modernizing the ship was a monumental undertaking. Their radar, once suitable for late 20th century technologies, was replaced by a brand new developed Ukrainian Radar. The engine, the heart of the colossus, has been completely overhauled.

Ukraine, aiming to assert its maritime dominance in the Black Sea and protect its coasts, has significantly modernized the Ukraina. This modernization includes a significant overhaul of her armament to make the ship a decisive force in the region.

The heart of Ukrayinia's offensive armament is Grom-2 ballistic missiles. These allow the ship to reach targets deep inland with tremendous striking power, giving the Ukrayinia strategic depth and destructive power. For close-range defense, the Ukrayinia is equipped with the RAS-7 Trizub system positioned in the center of the ship. This system has eight missiles with a range of 20 km and a 30 mm cannon.

Two AS-630V2 systems, an improved variant of the Soviet AK-630, are installed in front of the bridge, providing effective short-range defense. At the stern of the ship is the AAS-8 Golka system, which includes six missiles with a range of 12 km.

Ukraine developed its own VLS cells called SVP-1V20.
For defense against air targets, the VLS cells are equipped with the AAS-9 Brama, based on the Buk's 9M38, which has a range of approximately 110 km. The offensive armament that can be installed in the VLS cells includes the RK-360 Neptun, a missile with a range of approximately 400 km thanks to its booster, and the KR-3 Korshun cruise missile with a range of approximately 1500 km. In total, Ukraina has around 120 missiles in its VLS cells, making it a powerful player in the Black Sea and a serious escort.

So far it has mainly protected the helicopter carrier "Kharkov" and the aircraft carrier "Kyiv" on missions in the Mediterranean and the Middle East
