Russia’s
sole aircraft carrier, The Admiral Kuznetsov, went into the dock of
a shipyard in north Russia for repairs, the Northern Fleet’s press
office reported on Thursday, giving no timeframe for the repairs. "The
repair workers will first make the ship’s inspection in the dock,
after which a decision will be made on the scope of the repairs,"
the fleet’s press office said, adding the repairs would be carried
out by specialists of the 82nd shipyard at Roslyakovo in the Murmansk
Region. |
