The Moskva, hehe.
The latest on the Kuznetsov is that it’s in worse shape than previously known. Major corrosion below deck and holds filled with muddy water is what the word is.

At least she has a good smoke stack.

With the number of fires it's had, the whole ship is a smokestack.

Does Liaoning have that same smoke issue as Kuznetzov? Every time you see the Russian ship at sea but not under tow, he’s blowing a lot of smoke.

Wow. That’s sobering. The fact that the theoretical surface combat power of the Russian Navy is broadly on a level with the Andrew is… surprising.

I didn't see any such plume in a quick scan of easily-available photos online, so it looks like that may be down to the poor material condition of

The Chinese obviously don‘t run her on old tractor tyres.

For some reason the image isn't showing on my screen. It just says Image. Is it something in my settings?

Structural damage as well in a few of the reports i have read.
