Yep,

Chuck just beat me to it. Nuclear-powered SSV-33 Ural (ССВ-33 Урал) command ship. Hull derived from that of the Kirov class nuclear-powered battlecruisers. And this ship was actually adequately armed for defending itself.

Hello,

SVV-33 it is,a very impressive ship.
If anyone ever builds a dedicated ballistic missile defence cruiser it might end up something like this.

She is not in such good shape today:

It looks like we need something more demanding for you two.

Have to admit, at first I thought it was Chinese, but it was obviously a space tracking ship. There aren't that many that are not American.
