Cool video of Russia's aircraft carrier operating off Syria.

No steam catapult and angled upward ramp, so its a floating runway like older carriers.

Sort of. Old flat deckers in WW2 days, it was a true rolling takeoff, basically a runway on a ship. In the STOBAR method used in this video, the plane takes off at full burn from a standing stop using the ramp to get angle of attack. Aerodynamic results are the same (plane in the air) but how they achieve it is mechanically different.

Also worth noting that American CVNs carry a lot more planes, and in a full speed launch cycle, can use all four catapults to put planes in the air. The Russians can only spot one or two at a time for takeoff, and they carry only like half the number of planes. So yeah, they've got A carrier (singular), but it's really not much more capable than the STOBAR carriers of smaller countries. Not to mention that it spends more time broken down in port than at sea.
