These layochki will still give heat to the sea, and 83 year is not the maximum. And in general, the French are not the worst moroman.

Everyone has the same problems. We, too, are in no hurry to withdraw old submarines and ships ... at the same time, we will upgrade some of them. By the way, it seems like there’s a conversation about a possible modernization of Lazarev. But Ushakov will definitely be disposed of.

Nothing special, it’s just one of a series of six nuclear submarines, the very first of them.

The last boat repair was completed in 2014, which “in theory makes it possible to operate the reactor for several more years (reloading of fuel usually occurs every 10 years)”

So the problems are much wider than they say to the public.
