The only Russian aircraft carrier “Admiral Kuznetsov” during repair can get an under-extended new ship automated radio system “Resistor-K42”, which must replace the former “resistor-e”, reports TASS, referring to a source in the defense and industrial complex.
“But the new complex is used by Russian electronics, and it has not yet passed full-scale tests on one of the two sets of thread (the terrestrial test training complex Aviation – approx.” Renta.ru “) from Russia,” the interlocutor told.
In April, the American magazine Popular Mechanics called “Admiral Kuznetsov” damned, old and stray, and also reminded the numerous troubles related to it, in particular, “refuses of engines, fires, accidents with fatal exodus and even embers.”
In January, the DRIVE edition wrote that Russia should refuse his only aircraft carrier – “Cursed” Admiral Kuznetsova, focusing on the construction of a couple of new universal landing ships.
In December 2020, in the publication of the American magazine The National Interest, it was argued that “Admiral Kuznetsov” after repair on the “asterisk” may not demonstrate proper combat capability.
