All carrier aviation is risky, but for the Adm. Kuznetzov flying requires a death wish.

The plane should have stayed on land.

Ivan and his aircraft carriers, what will those wacky guys do next. Is the name of that aircraft carrier the F Troop?

“...skidded off the runway...”. ...on an aircraft carrier.

That’s funny.

I seem to recall that this happened about a month ago.

Russia is no longer using the carrier and has moved all aircraft to a land base.

Who’d have thought Adm. Kuznetzov was secretly allied with the rebels?

According to Jane’s all carrier operations have been transferred to land. The Navy jets can be seen beside the Air Force jets in satellite photos. No activity on the carrier deck for two weeks.

The cost of the aircraft will come out of the pilot’s pay...

That’s why he captain goes down with the ship.

“...because the cable of the stopping device broke”

Does that happen often?

Don’t US carriers have more than one cable...if one broke, would the hook just find the next one?

Russia trying to do in 20 years what it took the U.S. 110 years to accomplish. Good luck, knuckleheads.
