Alone Russian aircraft carrier that was burned and damaged decommissioned

[@danheaton2522]

I saw this coming many years ago. Most of the Soviet Navies big ships were built in Ukraine and now that’s over. Russia has shipyards with aged equipment and lack of skilled personnel who cannot build anything beyond a frigate/corvette sized surface ship. They also can still build effective submarines albeit at a slow production rate but all in all, the Russian navy is but a faint shadow of its former Soviet glory.

[@ald1144]

Darn. I was hoping they'd keep throwing more resources at it.

[@FunBobbyMarley]

The Admiral Kuznetsov, what a symbolic representation of not only Russia itself, but especially of its military. My god, what a joke. Its last sortie to the shores of Syria resulted in losing a few planes to non-combat related accidents on the deck. Fortunately its constant companion, the Combat Tug Boat, was always by its side. We may not be perfect in the west, but that sort of rampant graft and corruption at least has some checks and balances.

Ukraine had a lucky escape - Russia stole it and has wasted a fortune trying fix it's problem and failing.

[@bluecedar7914]

Ukraine also made some money selling off it's incomplete sister ship to China.

[@equarg]

Russia: Steals Aircraft Carrier Ukraine: Ehhhh. Thanks for saving us the expense and embarrassment of having that THING. Russia: Wait….what?!

[@RonaldSaylor]

That aircraft carrier was always a joke. It could not maintain service out at sea. It repeatedly had to be towed back to port.

[@ottopartz1]

When it went to Syria, it traveled with a dedicated tugboat just in case. Also it was easy for the NATO countries to track because of its embarrassing belching black smoke.

[@bluecedar7914]

It could reportedly launch Su-33s, provided that they weren't carrying ordinance or a full fuel load. And the pilots were good at floppy "cobra" landings.

[@satyricon65]

It was a lemon...

[@flydieselair]

It was built that way. It was junk from the get go, everywhere it went, there was a big open ocean tug to go with it, to tow it every time it stopped running. From the beginning, it made the sailors sick due to the dirty bunker oil it burned in the engines. That's why the black smoke constantly.

Russia will probably buy a replacement from China.

Putin’s 2nd military in the world: tank turrets that fly, an Air Force that doesn’t, a single navy aircraft carrier decommissioned for 8 years with a smoky chimney, a reserve of caged T-34 tanks which are useless, and units of Russ infantry on Vespa bikes.

[@adamb89]

The only air force russia has to speak of is what happens in the bathroom after borscht night.

[@chancergordy]

How dare you criticise like that! They were not Vespa's, that would be too good for them. They were Chinese shite made from Monkey metal and plastic. Guaranteed to last until the 1st Winter.

[@Cody38Super]

And their biggest technological advancement in tanks is to fix the gun in place and weld on a shed. The old saying "if it works, it ain't stupid" ......but it doesn't work! For damn sure, not against our Javelins!

[@Cody38Super]

#56 in the world, with a handful of American technology, old American technology, has brought the 2nd military in the world to a dead halt for almost 3 YEARS ! ! That just goes to show the difference between 1st and 2nd!

[@hankakah4180]

When you think that for a "Naval Power", they had only 1 aircraft carrier. They have 0 now, and there are small countries with at least one. Without sea airpower, their fleet is useless and unprotected.

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

That's why, all the big talks from Fox, RT, and Co on Russia's behalf notwithstanding, I keep saying: you don't really need the US mighty Air Force, with over 10,000 NATO grade fighter jets, bombers, tankers, and AWACS type aircraft to pummel Russia's entire armed forces to dust. The SMALLEST of the US branch of armed forces, the US Marines CORPS (not the US Marine CORE, like our great Leader Trump called it, wrote about it).... alone, with ~800 or so units of LARGELY vertical-take-off/vertical-landing capability (F-35B, Harrier jets, AH-IZ Viper gunships, Super Stallions/King Stallions & 65 or so KC-130 flying gas stations) ... would be enough to turn most of Russia's various strategic & tactical bases, from old German Konigsburg (now Russian Kaliningrad) in the Baltics to its far east, Bering Sea region, by Alaska... to unusable bases. All Russians could say is: We have NUKES, more nukes than y'all have... so that ain't gonna happen! That's all they could say.... CONVENTIONALLY, Russia's military --- structurally, logistically, and tactically ---- is NO MORE advanced, no more capable than what they had under Comrade Stalin, in WW2: it's largely a MEAT GRINDER APPROACH to fighting... able & willing to use 5, 10, or 20 men to overwhelm an opponent's 1-2 counterparts. But in WW2, Russia was still growing. And in the USSR's height, 1960 - 80's era, the Russians put a dozen or so NON-RUSSIAN neighboring people/states into the Russian military and make those people WORK for the Moscow-based Russians, a northern European people. Today, Moscow/White Russians are in a rapid population decline. The large SOLDIERS they're will/able to use against a TINY MILITARY like Ukraine that had NO AIR FORCE or NAVY, & a defense budget in pre-2022 or just $6B.... THAT RUSSIA MILITARY's men... they wouldn't even last more than a few months, against a nation like America that could take out thousands of such men with a few thousand WELL PLACED missiles and bombs "released" from 150 to 500 miles away, distances that NO FOOT SOLDIERS --- even suicidal ones like Russians --- could even traverse, before they're all turned into ashes... Again, Ukraine doesn't even have 2% of that American military capability; and that's why the Russian military looks so menacing, in southern and eastern Ukraine... ON FOOT & in literal WW2 tanks and other analog era armored vehicles!

[@ffjsb]

Hell, Ukraine doesn't even have a navy, and they decimated the Russian Black Sea fleet.

[@kevinarnett8751]

Russia should rename the ADM Kuznetsov yet again, this time to Vladimir Putin. That way they can throw more sunk money at this derelict.

Hoje o Ocidente com a Ucrânia está muito fortificada, rumo a vitória Ucrânia, Deus te abençoe.

[@daviddelgado6090]

It's quite possible that the fuel was sold in the black market. Like what happened in China with their ICBMs, where the fuel was sold.

[@Sameoldsongdance]

I think little putin confused the famous quote by Staling 'Quantity has a quality all it's own'. He meant a 'working' quantity.

[@MrDjBoyLover]

Same for China. Quantity over quality military equipment plus no evidence of efficiency in real battles.

It looks like forerunner sign that Russia is unavoidably losing the great war in Ukraine.

With the failure of the latest ballistic missile, it make me think that Russia's vaunted missile fleet is in the same condition. Considering that Russia apparently doesn't believe in maintaining its own military's equipment (how I hated maintaining the comm equipment I was responsible for), this is believeable.

Effectively a training vessel that struggles to launch more than unarmed fighter/strike aircraft, but yes, compared to the Admiral Kutsnutzoff the Liaoning has been successful.
