Soviet/Russian nuclear icebreakers were and are fitted for but not with weapon installations for self defense in wartime. Commonly seen are the pictures of the Rossiya testing the Arktika class' weapons fit during her sea trials. She clearly sports 2 AK-176 and 4 AK-630 guns, with a MR-750 air search radar.

I have heard the following claims, and would like to know if they are true or not, with of course all the supporting evidence that you can include:
-The Rossiya and other Arktika class also had positions for Osa sam systems. I can't see any in the photos, but the system is usually retracted into the hull, an aerial photo might be better for determining this short of a diagram or blueprint.
-The Lenin was planned with 2 SM-20-ZIF guns from the Stalingrad battlecruiser project. Of course she was commissioned unarmed, but I would like to know if she was built with the provision to fit her for but not with these or any other weapons.
-The future Rossiya is to be fitted for but not with weapons. Which and where I would like to know, if they complete the construction and test out the fitting it would be Russian Federation's largest armed ship, surpassing the carriers and heavy cruisers.
I have not heard a single thing about spaces allocated to weapons on either the new Arktika class, the Taimyr class, or the Sevmorput, and I'm very interested to know if they were also built for but not with any self defense capability.
