Is it finally ogre?

Its strategic value was 0 for quite some time now, but it would have been a matter of prestige to keep at least 1 working aircraft carrier. Even middling powers like France or UK have one.

even russian sources report that its courtains for kuz

>Even middling powers like France or UK have one.

France and UK have functional diversified economies, and aren't mired in endless corruption. Corruption is top to bottom in Russia, since everyone steals and everyone isn't paid enough anyways, so they have to steal if they want any kind of comforts. Reports on the Mosvka said they lacked enough fire extinguishers (either the sailors were stealing them or officers pocketing the money to buy them). It's like layers of corruption most people can't even imagine.

So you come to something like Kuz, and it genuinely needs years and millions of dollars in repairs, it's just going to be a system to suck up state funds and get nothing done.

The fun part is that they were forced into realizing this after more than a decade of spending billions into refurbishing it (which included building of a new dry dock for it, after it sank their largest floating dock). Their retarded war against Ukraine literally pulled out all the resources from anything else.

SEND IT TO UKRAINE

It should have been ogre a long time ago. It's an embarrassing shitheap and an embarrassing reminder of russian naval incompetence.

It would be pure kino. They should jam the flight deck with all 14 Armatas and as many Terminators as they have left to drive off just in case they actually make it anywhere near land as well.

The deep roosters unleashed...the curse of Innsmovzk is ravaging the coasts once more...

It must be sent to the Norks, them somehow making it work when Russia can't will be worth it..

>>64004581 (OP)
Obviously they are building a new and more modern carrier instead.

>>64006219
May we see it?

How is a ship "morally obsolete"?

>>64006537
The same way all of russia is.

>>64006537
its probably a bad translation of "doctrinally"

>>64006537
Monke must've finally found a way to power the wards without blood sacrifices (which begs the question of whether we will see the meatwaves slow down, and if not, what they'll be powering now...).

>>64004581 (OP)
It is finally over only when globalfirepower removes it from the chart

they've been in on it all along

Is Budanov this bold or Russian intelligence that incompetent?
>yes

>>64004581 (OP)
they are merely preparing to unleash that which dwells inside

>>64004581 (OP)
Buy the Chinese one and pretend its still the same ship.

>>64006537
It's a nice wording for
>we didn't need it anyway

>>64004581 (OP)

Just scrap that worthless piece of shit already.

>>64006537
>How is a ship "morally obsolete"?
Old commie concept. It basically means that the entire thing is such a clapped out shitheap, that any one upgrade would be meaningless, and getting it running to an even mildly acceptable standard would require rebuilding it from scratch.
[Which they obviously can't afford.]
