Erm. A Kiev-class carrier was equipped with two M-11 "Storm" medium-range SAM, two M-4 "Osa-M" short-range SAM, two AK-726 dual 76-mm autocannons and four AK-630 batteries (two autocannon turrets in each battery). And Yak-38 could be scrambled also; while planes themselves weren't anything to talk about, their short range AAM's were quite formidable. I kinda doubt that 3-4 Harriers, armed only with freefall nukes, would have any measurable chances to come close enough.
