According to Rakhmanov, the repair of the ship is proceeding according to the schedule, however, the flaw detection carried out in October showed the need for additional work, which the head of the USC did not say. Despite the increased volume of necessary repairs, Russia's only aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov" is planned to be returned the fleet in 2022, as stipulated by the contract.
The work is progressing on schedule, additional works are appearing, since the completed full inspection in October revealed the need for additional work
- said the head of the USC.
He explained that all actions to repair the USC ship will be coordinated with the Ministry of Defense. Earlier it was reported that the Russian Navy planned to receive the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier cruiser in 2021.

Currently, a new dry dock is being built at the 35th shipyard of the Zvyozdochka TS, the work is scheduled to be completed next year.
