‘Admiral Kuznetsov’ and the atomic cruiser of the Rashists without ‘Neptune’ followed ‘Moscow’
Although the Russians managed to recruit a full set of sailors for these ships.
The Russian military-industrial complex failed in its attempt to modernize and return to service the Russian Navy’s only aircraft carrier ‘Admiral Kuznetsov’ and the project 1144 nuclear missile cruiser ‘Admiral Nakhimov’.
Accordingly, these ships can be considered lost for the Russian fleet, since the level of problems with their technical condition turned out to be much higher than previously thought. This is claimed by the Guildhall publication with reference to its own sources in the intelligence community.
In particular, it is claimed that the hull of ‘Kuznetsov’ corroded from the outside below the third deck to such an extent that the holds began to fill with water and the ship lost the ability to move under its own power.
The aircraft carrier was planned to be towed out of the dry dock to continue work, but the Russians postponed the towing for an indefinite period. Because during such works, ‘Admiral Kuznetsov’ may fall over on its side or sink altogether.
