Russia's new plan to overhaul the old, damaged KUZNETSOV: make one
very large dry dock (on land-can NOT sink!) out of 2. As of a few days ago this project was about 6 weeks behind schedule.

VARAN - Is there a separate thread for her?
The new Russian aircraft carrier will carry the Su-57 and Okhotnik
The Russian aircraft carrier Varan is likely to be equipped with the Su-57 stealth fighter and the S-70 Okhotnik attack drone.

Latest 'buzz' on Ol' Smokey........Carrier RFS Admiral Kuznetsov pictured still under refit at 35th Ship Repair Plant dock at Murmansk in February 2022...Due to the lack of a large enough dry dock, a new dry dock is being constructed at Murmansk. Admiral Kuznetsov will not be docked until June 2022 due to safer weather conditions prevailing at that time.

She was finally backed into the new drydock to be. Estimates are that it will take 2-3 months to build gates and pump water out. Any bets???
