Russia’s only aircraft carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov, which has suffered a series of repair delays, may re-enter service by the end of next year, the country’s TASS state news agency reported Tuesday. The ship, launched in 1985, had been due to undergo a refit that would have seen it operational in 2023.“According to the adjusted plan, factory sea trials of the aircraft carrier should begin in the spring of 2024,” TASS reported, citing an unnamed defense source.
“If the tests pass without glitches, then the ship can be handed over to the fleet at the end of 2024. If something goes wrong during the tests, then a shift to 2025 is inevitable.”
