TAVKR "Admiral Kuznetsov" will receive a ship version of the ZRPK "Pantsir-M"
There is new information about the transfer of the aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov" to the Russian Navy after repair and modernization work. It should be noted that such information appeared systematically, but as a result, the dates are shifted for various reasons.
According to the vice-president of the United Shipbuilding Corporation, Vladimir Korolev, which are given TASS, repair and modernization work at the "Admiral Kuznetsov" will be completed in 2023. It was in 2023 that the warship will be transferred to the fleet.
On the only Russian aircraft carrier, work continues to upgrade equipment, as well as to recover from an incident with a floating dock at a repair facility. Recall that as a result of the flooding of the floating dock, the cranes fell onto the deck of the aircraft carrier, which led to serious damage.
It was noted that the flight deck with the springboard is being replaced, new avionics, power equipment, and engines are being installed. As a result, the battleship should receive a new control system for the takeoff and landing of aircraft deck aviation.
It became known that the air wing of the Admiral Kuznetsov would not undergo any changes. At the same time, it is added that the aircraft carrier will receive a naval version of the Pantsir-M air defense missile system.
It is planned that exactly 2 years later - in the summer of 2023 - the TAVKR "Admiral Kuznetsov" will be tested, after which it will become part of the fleet in an updated version.
