Russia considers abandoning the repair of its only active aircraft carrier.

The Russian Ministry of Defense may give up on repairing the only active aircraft carrier in the Russian military, the "Admiral Kuznetsov". Currently, the maintenance and modernization work on this warship has been suspended. Reports suggest that representatives from the navy and the United Shipbuilding Corporation will soon make a decision on the fate of the "Admiral Kuznetsov". Experts do not rule out the possibility of the ship being scrapped and dismantled due to technological and physical aging. The "Admiral Kuznetsov" has been undergoing modernization since 2017, during which several accidents occurred. For example, in 2018, Russia's largest floating dock sank, causing damage to the ship's hull. In 2019, a major fire broke out on this aircraft carrier.
