When will the repair of the only Russian aircraft carrier end, he will no longer smoke. A guarantee is a complete replacement of all its boilers.
The news agency "Interfax" said the head of the United Shipbuilding Company Alexei Rakhmanov.
USC President sure, that a cloud of smoke over the "Admiral Kuznetsov" will no longer appear:
Considering, that all boilers are subject to replacement, which are installed on an aircraft carrier, there will be no more black smoke.
Rakhmanov claims, that the cause of the smoke was a technical problem, which did not pay attention in a timely manner. It is associated with the adjustment of the fuel supply and is currently completely eliminated..
The head of USC noted, that the aircraft carrier will be handed over to the Ministry of Defense in 2022 year.
At the moment, “Admiral Kuznetsov” is located in the Murmansk branch of the Zvyozdochka CA. To 1 September 2022 year it is planned to paint all its external surfaces. Government procurement website reports, that this work will cost the Russian defense department in 250 million rubles.
After that, no one will have a reason to call the Russian ship “a piece of rust”, as the American edition of National Interest did last December. Although for the Western media, presumably, there are other reasons to wishful thinking.
