Russia is talking about scrapping its only aircraft carrier, putting the troubled ship out of its...

Good morning PO1 William "Chip" Nagel! This is a very interesting Post... It would seem as if Russia would have multiple Aircraft Carriers as a major world power...but it seems that this Carrier has been plagued with misfortune and misjudgements... Without a drydock to support the vessel, there isn't a way to safely and adequately repair and recondition it! In my view, it should be decommissioned and scrapped...and maybe start over with a new design... That, however, is Russia's call... Have a great day, Chip!

NOTE: After I wrote the above, I came across a RP discussion by MAJ Eric G Troup who posted a discussion regarding Russia's new program to build the world's largest aircraft carrier, some 3-football field long... Here is the link to the specific "Daily Mail" News article:

Russia has started a lot of military capability upgrade programs over the past decade. Programs they really don't have the money to finance. Which is why the Armata has been largely backburnered in favor of upgrading T-72/T-80 to the T-90 variant and the SU-57 program with its problems has also been back burnered in favor of less expensive alternatives after India (and their checkbook) backed out.

Something has to give and an expensive and underperforming carrier that they really don't have the tools to maintain seem to be an easy choice.

I am curious why Russia eschews her aircraft carrier's capacity?
