Putin Should Be Ashamed: Russia’s Last Aircraft Carrier Is A ‘Floating Dumpster Fire’

Russia’s sole aircraft carrier may be the most doomed piece of military equipment ever to enter naval service.

Since its introduction in the mid 1980’s, the Admiral Kuznetsov has been plagued by a series of unfortunate events, including fires, mishaps and endless “maintenance” repairs.

Last month, Russia’s main state-news agency announced that the cursed Kuznetsov could re-enter service by the end of 2024. However, considering the carrier’s abysmal track record, this seems pretty unlikely.

Since Moscow first invaded Kyiv more than a year and a half ago, the country has suffered from debilitating economic sanctions and rapidly diminishing weapons and material stockpiles.

Back in the early 70s a radar wasn't really needed to spot the Russian Navy.  All that needed to be done was spot the plumes of smoke coming from their ships.  I guess they are tied to the good old days. :tongue2:

The Kuznetsov is still floating?

Back before the fire of a couple of years ago, the Kuznetsov used to be accompanied by an ocean-going tug wherever it went. It made a certain French carrier look reliable.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
