Several months ago the
Russian navy deployed their sole aircraft carrier - the Admiral Kuznetsov - to the Mediterranean Sea in a show of force.
The
Kuznetsov is an aircraft carrier without catapults, sports shoddy
plumbing with only half of its toilets in working order, belches a haze of black smoke from burning oil to power steam turbines so prone to failure that the ship
cannot leave port without an ocean-going tug available for a tow. Guess what? The arresting cables are prone to failure too.
Dumped an SU-33 fighter jet into the Mediterranean today. Earlier in November a MIG-29 fighter crashed into the sea attempting to land on the Kuznetsov.
It's a lucky ship indeed.
