Can Russia's Missiles Really Sink Aircraft Carriers?

Here's What You Need to Remember: Claims that Nimitz-class carriers are vulnerable to Kornet ATGMs may be exaggerated.
Could Russian Kornet Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs) attack the USS Abraham Lincoln, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier?
Using limited analysis of the capabilities of the Kornet and the carrier’s defensive capabilities, Mark Langfan, the Chairman of Americans for a Safe Israel, has come to the conclusion that Kornets were a serious threat to the carrier.
However, Langfan’s research misrepresents many aspects of the Kornet and displays a large oversight of many aspects of naval warfare.
