Molotov — Soviet Premium Tier V Cruiser.

Bearing a close resemblance to Kirov-class cruisers, she was based on an improved design (Project 26-bis). In contrast to her prototype, the cruiser received significantly reinforced armor while reatining extremely powerful artillery and a high speed.

Molotov was released in the store on April 6th, 2020.
