Admiral Kuznetsov

A heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser built in the last years of the Soviet Union at the Black Sea Shipyard in Mykolaiv.

In October 2016, Russia sent the aircraft carrier to the coast of Syria, but recalled it a few months later. The Admiral Kuznetsov became "famous" when thick black smoke began pouring from its funnel as it sailed through the English Channel.

And in November 2016, two fighter jets failed to land on the aircraft carrier.

On the night of October 30, 2018, a floating dock sank at Ship Repair Plant No. 82, where Russia's only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, was undergoing repairs.
