The Statnik-class aircraft carrier is a class of STOBAR aircraft carriers built by the UCSS and operated by the Beleroskov Navy. It was built to replace the Sukarno-class aircraft carrier, a smaller and less efficient carrier which was originally planned to be disassembled but were later sold to Qolaysia and Gladysynthia. The ships use a ski-jump to launch high-performance jet aircraft and arrestor gears for landing. Three ships were planned but only two were completed - the VE Yelisy Sergeyevich and VE Artemyev Nikita - which are still in service.
