He explained that all actions to repair the ship USC will coordinate with the Ministry of Defense. It was previously reported that the Russian fleet planned to receive the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier cruiser in 2021.
Problems with the repair and modernization of the Admiral Kuznetsov TAVKR arose after the loss of the only floating dock in the Northern Fleet PD-50 of the 82 shipyard, where the cruiser was to be docked for the second time. Currently, the construction of a new dry dock is underway at the 35th Shipyard of the Zvyozdochka CS, and work is scheduled to be completed next year.
