Russia’s sole aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov is expected to join the Russian Navy after repairs in 2021, Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said on Thursday.
"The aircraft carrier will undergo repairs and the replacement of all boilers and equipment. There is an agreement with shipbuilders on completing the repairs in 2020 and in 2021 the warship is due to return to the fleet," the deputy defense minister said.
The Admiral Kuznetsov will be repaired at the 35th Ship Repairing Yard in Murmansk in northwest Russia (a branch of the Zvyozdochka Ship-Repairing Center).
