4 mouth old news but I searched on both NCD on reddit and here and found nothing about it… The aging, damaged ‘Kuznetsov’ is unlikely to deploy ever again.

it’s the end of a very funny era :'(

    I wonder, if it’s put on sale, Ukraine or supporter should buy it.

    Problem: it gives Russia money.

    But buying it to turn it into smoke grenades (the best smoke grenades to ever exist) would be really funny XD

      The really shitty part is that Ukraine (as the Ukrainian SSR) built the damn thing, and the Russian CO actually just weighed anchor and fucked off to a Russian port when the USSR collapsed despite orders from the Ukrainian government to not do that.

        I’m pretty sure that was debunked for being obscenely obscenely expensive and fairly obvious.

          You’re telling me stealing a Russian aircraft carrier, putting it in orbit, and then dropping it on the Kremlin is… unfeasible?!
