The pride and joy of Vladimir Putin's Northern Fleet appears doomed to never set sail again, with its crew being redeployed to the meat grinder in eastern Ukraine.

The Kremlin has sunk millions of rubles into trying to resuscitate the fortunes of the 39-year-old Admiral Kuznetsov.

Not only is the vessel the flagship of Russia's Northern Fleet, but it is also the only aircraft carrier Putin's navy has.

The ship was supposed to set sail from the port in Murmansk for the first time in eight years in the spring.

Not having a modern aircraft carrier fleet contradicts the Desire for World Domination claims.

The pride and joy of Vladimir Putin’s Black Sea Fleet will never sail again either after its promotion to submarine 2 years ago.

How is Putin’s health lately? Have you gotten any further updates?

Ships need to be driven at sea in the same way cars need to be driven and not garaged if you want them to be reliable when you need them.

Isn’t this the third time you have posted essentially the same article? Nobody respects a rabid paper hanger.

You beat me to it! I should read the full comment thread before I post. At least marcimaxipad has stopped with the egg propaganda.

Yes it is (at a minimum). Scraping the bottom of the anti-Russia bucket I guess.

A man leading a nation with 6000 nuclear warheads does not make “whacky nuke threats.” If Russia decide to go nuclear then you are likely to be a dead man. Neocons are morons.

Putin and his drunk mini-me Medvedev have been making wacky nuke threats for the past 2.5 years of their botched invasion.

You don’t need an aircraft carrier to fight a land war in Asia.

Russia’s oversized barge is indicative how they view national security and power projection: They dabbled in it but don’t view it as important.

Expeditionary airfields make much more sense.

Get your head in the game.

We don’t care about this stuff, we want Trump vs Harris articles.
