Why the embarrassment, why don't they retire it?

Why is Putin bent on embarrassing the Russians, why does he allow this museum piece to still operate?

If they need an aircraft carrier why not build a new one?

if the wind is right

seething croat, that old ass boat could defeat your entire army

Russia does not need an aircraft carrier. Russia has enough airfields. The U.S. needs aircraft carriers to scare the sand niggers without missiles

Wow is that supposed to be a plus for Russia... I somehow doubt the Russians have it to deal with our navy, but what about UK or US navy?

Ever since hypersonic missiles every carrier is a floating tomb. Perhaps they can still be used as a intimidation method in minor conflicts where hypersonic missiles are not available.
But putting in huge money in a carrier seems, in my lay opinion, wasted.

>wasting another hundreds of billions to build slightly better one, because this one doesn't look good
Are you a woman?

Then why does Putin allow it to sail, it shoebe in a museum it is just bad PR
