Russia is broke so this will never get built. Nothing to worry about here.

Russians haven’t had good results with aircraft carriers IIRC. The few they’ve built are either floating rattletraps or wind up getting scrapped before they are even launched.

They’ve done much better with “unsinkable aircraft carriers” such as Cuba.

And aren’t behemoth carriers nothing more than bigger targets these days? Maybe the “Jeep carriers” of World War Two should be brought back. More ships, smaller targets, but carrying swarms of aircraft.
