Yes, everything is on schedule!
So what is the schedule?
I did not and cannot say!
So, they'll reactivate with the refit incomplete?!United Shipbuilding Corporation's Alexei Rakhmanov said the Admiral Kuznetsov's is scheduled to be returned to the Russian Navy in 2022 but that it also would need additional repairs.

Will they put it out of it's misery already? Do they have no decency?

I can't imagine putting it back into service after this much damage.

Fire is not a friend of metals. The structure could need mort parts to be changed by the same guys who started this fire. Idk why they didn't send this ship in China for repair. They can finish in 1 or 2 months.

$340 million has already been wasted on this refit which should have gone to that. Unless Putin is going to magically come up with billions for a CATOBAR it is not worth pursuing.

Sending it to China does not create jobs in Russia. It has always been a state welfare project and platform to promote export of MiG-29K. India must be looking very hard at this.

India has already bought mig-29k and is the only customer that can buy it.
New build ships create more jobs. They would have saved a lot if they had send it to China for repairs and they could have even sold it them for 4 or 5 billion so that they have both ships of the class whike Russia goes with a new and modern design.
The Indian carrier has similar systems to this one and the lack of safety features. If this ship had up-to-date fire suppression it would immediately extinguish the fire.
China would not buy it for anything more than scrap. They have their own state welfare projects to keep people employed.

However, according to sources close to the emergency commission, the new equipment was not damaged, so the fire should not adversely affect the completion dates for the repair of the only Russian aircraft carrier. In fact, workers will only have to clean up the fire and redecorate them. After that, the installation of new equipment will resume.
