The Russian Navy’s Admiral Kuznetsov heavy aircraft-carrying missile cruiser damaged in fire in 2019 will embark on its sea trial in 2022, according to Russia’s state-run media.
The Admiral Kuznetsov will reportedly be docked again in the summer of 2021 and will be then set for sea trials, namely in 2022.
The fire aboard the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov broke out during repair works in Murmansk in December 2019.
As the emergency services reported, the fire could have started due to the violation of safety rules during wielding work. The fire engulfed an area of 500 square meters. Two persons were killed and 14 injured in the fire.
A source in the shipbuilding industry told TASS on January 30 that the fire aboard Russia’s sole aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov in December 2019 had damaged some electric power cables.
Aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov
The Project 11435 heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral Kuznetsov is designed to gain superiority at sea and in the air in the areas of the fleet’s operation to ensure the navy’s combat sustainability, deliver air strikes against enemy targets and support troops’ landing operations.
The warship entered service in 1990. It displaces 58,000 tonnes and has a length of 304.5 meters. The aircraft carrier has a full speed capacity of 200,000 horsepower and develops a speed of up to 30 knots. Apart from the air task force of 24-26 fighter jets and 12 helicopters, the Admiral Kuznetsov is armed with anti-ship and air defense missile systems.
The warship is equipped with a ski-jump and two aircraft elevators. It has a crew of 1,300 while the air group’s personnel numbers 660 men.

So during this repair process where the Su-33 ve MiG-29KR/KUBR pilots will continue their training,take-off practices ….China Liaoning carrier?
Nagurskoye (air base) would be the location where I’d station the Su-33’s. (possibly permanently)
On Crimea normally. Crimea has specialized airport facility (built by USSR) for training air-carrier pilots (take off “deck” (“ski-jump”) is identical to that of the carrier).
No problem.
The ship with a name longer than itself that just doesn’t work.
Well yes and no!
Most interesting aspect pf the refurbishment, I’d suggest here, is whether the heavy cruiser carrier (TAVKR) will continue to have VLS for SSM’s? (a capability that makes the ship far more dangerous than any CVF)
Yes it will, the Granit missiles will be replaced by VLS for Kalibr, Oniks and Zircon missiles. Similar modernization for battle cruisers Nahimov and Peter the Great. Great platforms for anti ship missiles in great numbers.
Certainly allows the warship to have a very long range stand-off strike attack capability, essentially the vessel does the job of three ships combined, a CVF, CG and DDG.

Yes.
Smoke and mirrors . It always has been. https://twitter.com/christina_bobb/status/1347596278583197698

You might put a disclaimer or warning about this vid for our more delicate readers like Great Khan…the crowd appears to be giving voice to curse words during their dekko into the Capitol Buildings.
That was like Stalingrad, vicious hand to hand, shakes and selfies.
lol
Yes it was. Except for the foolish Trump supporters that got tricked walking into that trap and will now have their lived ruined.
I would characterise them as pawns being invited into a den of snakes with an ulterior motive of evil intent by dark forces who controlled that building.
Was Jesus a fool for having dinner with Judas?
Go to Global Research and watch the video “Capitol Hill Fiasco”.
You need to see it.
Not to mention the climax moment when Paulus unfriended Chuikov on Facebook.
Watch “Capitol Hill Fiasco”, a video on Global Research.
Puts the” Babbit shooting” in a new light.
Hope it gets some naval S-400 and Tsirkon upgrade.
The concept is nostalgic,These days there are far more efficient means to assymetrical warfare, But atleast they’ll end with an updated carrier,instead of relying on french politics for all it’s worth:
They did so to my Grandmother, when she was too old for it.
But nice pics.
Any ship or even fast boats can now operate drones, extending their versatility beyond past limitations. Carriers are now as obsolete as the dreadnoughts were at Jutland.
