Rare SU-33 Avmiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier

The Defense Express observers in the sky indicate the finding of these Russian fighters in the sky. The material states that the flight of Russian aircraft probably began with a deer airfield in the Murmansk region - one of the key points of basing of strategic aviation of the Russian Federation. Particular attention was paid to the participation of Su-33 fighters. Russia has only about 17 units of these aircraft, which were previously part of the Air Force Air Force Airline, Admiral Kuznetsov.

At the end of 2023, it became known that the Su-33 was being taken to the shore for the formation of a separate mixed air corps of the Northern Fleet, which emphasized the problematic condition of the aircraft carrier, which has been on repair for more than seven years. In this regard, analysts noted that the long simple "Admiral Kuznetsov" led to a personnel crisis among pilots of deck aviation.

Many of them have retired, and the remaining ones perform less sophisticated flights from land aerodromes. An interesting detail is that the pilots to perform gap and landing on aircraft carrier take about a year, which significantly slows down the restoration of the aircraft carrier group. And the only training platform for Russia's deck aviation is on Saky aircraft in occupied Crimea. According to Russia, the PCS of the Russian Federation allegedly started training pilots for these aircraft.

However, the facts indicate that this is not the case, since the Su-33 continue to be based in the north, in particular, to accompany strategic Tu-95MC bombers. This indirectly confirms that Admiral Kuznetsov will not be ready for operation. "It can be concluded that the Russian authorities will continue to saw the money on the repair" Admiral Kuznetsov ", and it will not leave the repair in the next year.
