Upgrade of the Admiral Nakhimov, Kirov class: Project 11442?

Google Earth picture from 28 April

Found these pictures on a Russian site of the Admiral Nakhimov.

The CP-10. If they could use an RD-93 engine, single seat, maybe this could be a good cheap fighter.

The KB SAT SR-10 is a prototype Russian single-engine jet trainer aircraft, fitted with a forward swept wing. It first flew in 2015, and is being offered to the Russian Air Force and for export.
