On Kuznetsov's last operational deployment off Syria a couple of years ago they lost half their aircraft to mechanical or operational failure. Something like 4/8. It's a really small ship compared to American carriers.

I think they had to tow it pretty much everywhere too

Poor Russia.

Here’s a picture I took of two American carriers in port in San Diego at the same time last month. I think they were the Nimitz and Ronald Reagan.

Hard to believe this could happen since Russia controls the US government

No kidding

I worked at a shipyard in freaking San Diego (while earning per diem) and it still sucked balls. I can’t even imagine how bad that would suck.

Russia has had a good sub fleet, but for some reason their surface navy has been a dumpster fire for the last few hundred years.
