Does Russia Really Need An Aircraft Carrier? Russia’s rusty aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov has been back at her home port near Murmansk since February following a 2016 combat deployment off the Syrian coast. Kuznetsov took a beating from heavy use and what’s next is a long-awaited refit, of which we now have a few details. First of all, the Kuznetsov is not technically an aircraft carrier—according to the Russian Navy’s definition—but a clumsily-titled “heavy aircraft-carrying missile cruiser” owing to her 12 Granit anti-ship cruise missiles. The retrofit will replace these with Kalibr-NK land-attack missiles, substantially boosting range, and fitted inside universal vertical launchers also capable of firing P-800 Oniks anti-ship missiles, according to Tass. written by Robert Beckhusen Source : http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/does-russia-really-need-aircraft-carrier-20357 __________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks You For Watching..... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Site : https://worldofweapon.wordpress.com Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/worldofweapon16 Twitter : https://twitter.com/worldofweapon VK.com : https://vk.com/vk.worldofweapon Myspace : https://myspace.com/worldofweapon Tags:- aircraft carrier, navy, military, aircraft, carrier, aircraft carrier (ship type), biggest aircraft carrier, us aircraft carrier, aircraft carriers, indian navy aircraft carrier, vikramaditya aircraft carrier, aircraft carrier india, largest aircraft carrier, aircraft carrier landing, aircraft carrier launch, the largest aircraft carrier in the world, army, us navy, ship, us aircraft carriers, uss gerald r. ford, destroyer, news, fighter aircraft indian aircraft carrier, aircraft carrier, indian navy aircraft carrier, indian navy, indian navy aircraft carrier 2015, aircraft carrier (warship class), aircraft, indian army, russian aircraft carrier, aircraft carrier india, chinese aircraft carrier, navy, indian navy ships, indian navy in action, ins vikrant, military, india, ins vikramaditya, ins vishal, carrier, indian navy (armed force), indian navy marcos, indian, indian armed forces, ins, ship, news russia, biggest aircraft carrier, russian aircraft carrier, admiral kuznetsov aircraft carrier, aircraft, military, largest aircraft carrier, us aircraft carrier, aircraft carrier launch, admiral kuznetsov, aircraft carriers, russian navy, putin, news, ship, russian, us navy, usa, syria, kuznetsov, trump, flying, us china aircraft carrier, china, chinese aircraft carrier, indian aircraft carrier, chinese aircraft carrier liaoning, new aircraft carrier, military, news, china navy, liaoning, chinese navy, india vs china, south china sea dispute, south china sea, chinese aircraft, china military, made in china, china uncensored, pla navy, pla, pakistan, indian navy, helicopter
