Abstract

The article focuses on the fate of Russia's only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, which is facing scrapping after a series of mishaps and failed repairs. Despite the loss of the carrier, Russia is expanding its submarine fleet, recognizing that submarines may be more effective in modern naval warfare compared to traditional aircraft carriers. The article highlights the introduction of new submarines, including nuclear-powered Borei-class vessels, and discusses the strategic implications of this shift, particularly in relation to NATO and potential threats to European security. The Kremlin's commitment to submarine expansion is underscored by President Putin's emphasis on its importance for Russia's naval capabilities. [Extracted from the article]
