USC promises to surrender Admiral Kuznetsov to the Russian fleet in 2021
Rakhmanov explained that the repaired aircraft carrier would be handed over to the Navy in the 2021 year, as planned, but with a possible delay of three to four months, due to the docking of the ship. Now, the docking of the Admiral Kuznetsov will be carried out at the 35-m shipyard in Murmansk, where dry docks are being modernized for this.
- said the head of USC.
Problems with the repair of the ship arose at the end of October last year, when during the launching in Murmansk under the "Admiral Kuznetsov" because of an emergency situation the floating dock PD-50 sank. Due to the fallen crane, the takeoff deck was damaged. Total ship received 52 damage, the estimated damage amounted to 70 million rubles. However, due to the flooding of the floating dock, it was impossible to carry out the second stage of the docking of the cruiser, which could delay the repairs indefinitely.
Now, according to Rakhmanov, everything must go according to schedule. Repair of the ship is scheduled for the end of the year 2020, testing - the beginning of the year 2021. Navy cruiser transmission is the middle of the 2021 of the year.
Earlier it was reported that during the modernization of the "Admiral Kuznetsov" will receive new air defense systems, it will change the power equipment, install new boilers, a number of new pumps and new systems of landing, monitoring and control.
