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!

Worried? Don’t you mean, ‘hoping !?’

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

It’s a cruiser with a ramp. This thing only got 40% of the displacement of a US aircraft carrier, so the Russians could fit it into the Black Sea.
Currently it is dock in Murmansk. Winter is coming for it.

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.”
FYI: Link in article is to a pro MAGA website belching ads for their usual lies and conspiracies.

“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.

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.
