Russia must preserve its only aircraft-carrying cruiser, the \"Admiral Kuznetsov\" of Project 1143.5. This opinion was voiced by State Duma Deputy Viktor Sobolev.
According to him, the idea of decommissioning the \"Kuznetsov\" is a cowardly retreat from the long-term interests of the fleet. He emphasized that he personally visited shipbuilding enterprises in Severodvinsk, including \"Sevmash\" and \"Zvezdochka,\" when there was \"no talk of decommissioning the ship.\"
If we didn't have 15 more oligarchs every year, there would be enough money to modernize and convert it into a nuclear-powered cruiser. But here, you see, there is money for the oligarchs, but modernization is \"impractical.\"
The parliamentarian emphasized that it is fundamentally important for the Navy to have at least one aircraft-carrying cruiser to ensure presence in distant seas.
Specialized Telegram channels report that more than100 billion rubles have already been spent on the modernization of the cruiser. An additional 30 billion may save the situation.
Earlier,www1.ru reported thatT-80BVM tanks stopped \"flying\": they began to be used in a new way.
