That Russian cash incinerator needs to stay afloat as long as possible.
Maybe amused…but certainly not bemused.
“Damn guys looks like they beat us to it 😔” :USN Probably
Worried?!
Why are they worried? Let it sink
That’s one deadly coral 🪸
The article mentions that the USN trailed it in 2011 across the Med. Sea because they thought it would sink, cause an environmental disaster, and need help.
Now they think that since service of the ship has been even more neglected, if it were to travel close to some Western country and sink, it would cause that country alot of environmental & economical trouble.
In short, the US Navys opinion is that the Admiral Rustbucket is more of a threat to the marine / aquatic ecosystem, than a actual military threat
The Russian navy are probably worried it won’t!
Horribly misleading headline. It’s about events from 2011. The ship is in dry dock today and therefore can’t sink. Shit headline / shit article.
I take this as more “worried about an ecological disaster from that thing sinking and leaking God knows what into the ocean”
The Kuznetsiv sinking would be a disaster, whatever cused beings are sealed within the forgotten compartments of the ship would be unguarded and might escape./s
Ugh, this ai generated articles could have been condensed into 3 paragraphs
These idiots would have scuttled it and claim they were attacked and started a war over it before they would embarrass themselves by accepting assistance from the U.S.
Thing is just a financial anchor I’m not sure why they have kept it around.
“Russia’s only aircraft carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov, currently doesn’t have a crew. This adds another hurdle to getting the ship, which finally departed its drydock at the Sevmorput Naval Shipyard in Russia’s northwestern Murmansk region in February, into any kind of real service. Since 2017, Admiral Kuznetsov has been undergoing a labored overhaul effort, during which time it has suffered multiple fires and a drydock sinking.”

Not much has changed from 1904…
“The ship continues to be a symbol of Russian naval tenacity…”, or stupidity, recklessness, and incompetence. Take your pick or add ’em all up!
> The ship continues to be a symbol of Russian naval tenacity, despite its glaring flaws and declining utility.
Is this article about the aircraft carrier or Russia in general? Sounds as much like the latter as the former. “Glaring flaws and declining utility” describes Russia to a T.
History of Everything from YouTube
Let us sink in the harbour so all Russians can see Moscow,s military prowess
Wouldn’t it be badass if the Ukraine could finish it off.
The Kutsenov, or should we call it by its name of Tbilisi begore RuZZia, stole it from Ukraine at the end of the cold wat is a death trap waiting to happen.
And some of us have been waiting for that to happen for a long time.
Wonder what Kim Jong Un might be willing to give for a carrier…..
When your enemy is worried that your naval army ship sinks…
Chief!!! Flex-Glue! Bring up more Flex-Glue!
The US is giving them the White Elephant treatment. The legend (tho it may be fake), goes that the royalty of old Asia would gift someone a rare white elephant as a gift – but it was meant as a way to hamstring them. It would be an insult to refuse the gift, or to have it die prematurely – a sign of disrespect. But, the elephant costs a fortune to keep alive, and it is often nothing more than a vanity pet. So you are saddling the receiver with a high upkeep as a means to mess with them.
Russia is gonna be burning massive amounts of money to keep it afloat, and out of pure optics, it would be a bad look to lose it. Its also outdated and broken, so it may not fare well against drones in future conflicts – its a smart move to let them keep paying for it.
Are there any videos or pictures from inside the ship, or even better from one of the sealed compartments? I’ve looked for them in the past and haven’t been able to find any
That ship contributes 50% of russia’s greenhouse gas emissions.
