EDIT: To get this back to topic, what's your issue with a modernized Kirov?
Not with a modernization, just with the trade off by replacing "current" capability with "pure" land attack capability.
If few "tomahawkski" are added, you could easily and more economically send a smaller ship (which is also likely to be nearer the region than one of the very few Kirovs).
If you add lots of tomahawkskis, you need to trade off lots of other mission capability.
Also I have problems to identify future R related conflicts where such a conflict takes place far away from Rs borders and one of the few Kirovs is by chance "nearby", like the numerous Ticos/Burkes.

Katos suggestion adds land attack capability without giving up current capability, like the Indians do with the Brahmos. Thats great.
