The Voroshilov has 9 x 180 mm/57 (7.1') B-1-P Pattern 1932 naval cannons for her main armament, arranged in triple turrets mounted A-Bs-X. She is also vulnerable to bombs and torpedoes due to lack of hull armour as well.

This is essentially her Achilles' heels as she can be overwhelmed by several enemy ships firing HE shells at her. However, as mentioned above, the Voroshilov lacks any substantial anti-fragmentation armour to protect her crew from incoming fire.

Other than the citadel armour, the Voroshilov's main turrets are also covered with 50 mm of armour to protect it from HE shells. This essentially turned the whole upper hull into a huge bullet sponge that can contain a lot of damage, save for a well-struck shot. The Voroshilov's size is essentially a double-edged sword: it can be easily targeted at any ranges, yet it's very survivable despite only having a simple 50 mm of citadel armour, this is because most of the Voroshilov's critical components (such as main battery ammo racks and engines) were located inside the citadel sitting just below the waterline. She dwarfes most of the other proper light cruisers and rivals the size of a heavy cruiser (just shorter than Mogami-class heavy cruisers by 13 m).

8 mm rolled homogeneous armour on the gunshield of 12.7 mm Vickers Mk.V machine gunsĪs with the other Kirov-class cruisers, the Voroshilov is best described as an oversized light cruiser.

14 mm anti-fragmentation armour on the torpedo tube mounts.

20 mm rolled homogeneous armour around the steering gear.

25 mm rolled homogeneous armour around the small command tower at the secondary firing platform.

50 mm rolled homogeneous armour on each main turret.

50 mm rolled homogeneous armour at the citadel.

150 mm rolled homogeneous armour around the bridge and elevator.
