"The
ship is expected to be repaired at the Zvyozdochka Shipyard. This is the
most advanced enterprise from the technological point of view. It will
be able to do it," the deputy commander said in reply to a question
about the repair of the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. According to Bursuk, it still remains unknown how long the work will last. "It depends on the results of the fault detection," he added. As the deputy commander said, the ship’s radio electronic equipment and weapons will be modernized. A source in Russia’s defense and industrial sector said earlier that work to repair the ship would begin in the first quarter of 2017. President of Russia’s United Ship-Building Corporation Alexei Rakhmanov said in June that the contract for the upgrade of the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov was under discussion. According to him, two years will be required but the work volume and the timeframe may be changed. The ship’s armament will be replaced, Rakhmanov said. © Copyright 2016 TASS. All rights reserved.
