Russian Aircraft Carrier faces Technical Problem while heading to Syria

October 21, 2016

Russian aircraft carrier was hit by technical problem.



Belching smoke through the Channel, Russian aircraft carrier so unreliable it sails with its own breakdown tug.

One Royal Navy source said: “All their ships look shiny on the outside, but are pretty horrid on the inside. You only have to look at the smoke she’s belching out to see not all is well.

“We have had people on board Russian ships in the last 10 years or so and it’s always a bit of a shock. The conditions inside are pretty manky.”

The vessel is powered by steam turbines and turbo-pressurized boilers that are so unreliable that it is accompanied by a large ocean-going tug whenever it deploys, in case it breaks down.
