This was the aircraft-carrier of new generation, leaving behind American “brothers” what about technical descriptions and quantity of armament on board. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The ship was prepared to 80 percent, when the USSR collapsed.
It's not "80% complete" if there are no electronics, machinery, or hydraulics on board.
And there were NO protective steps ("mothballing" if you've seen a US mothball shipyard) taken when construction stopped. Hatches were left open all over the ship, water got in everywhere, sucker rusted like a mo-fo.
It ought to please the enviornmentalists when we eventually turn these proposed carriers into man made reefs.
