VIDEO aircraft carrier which Russians threaten the West actually is "wreck" ?!

These days the Russian fleet has raised a lot of noise along the coasts of western European countries on their way to Syria where he will participate in a new attack on Aleppo.At the head of eight vessels was the only Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, a whole fleet of the highway through La Manche closely monitored and ships of the British Royal Navy.

Properly interpreted as a slap in the face of Putin's new British and the French, "a powerful fleet" is not as strong as it seems. More specifically, its largest ship Admiral Kuznetsov actually is not such a terror. It was obvious from the thick black smoke that is constantly surrounding the diesel aircraft carrier, which has become the target of jokes among the British.That 'old bag' has its problems best shown by the fact that the time never go without their own tractor Nicholas Čiker, in case it breaks down in the middle of navigation. The Admiral Kuznetsov nice looking at the promotional images, but actually hides quite a bad situation under palube.Težak 55,000 tons and 305 meters long, throughout its history fought a series of difficulties.

Its construction began in 1982, a part of the Soviet navy became in 1990, while he became fully operational only in 1995, this time as part of the Russian Navy. He was supposed to be the first ship in its class, but due to political (disintegration of the USSR) and financial circumstances remained the only one.In addition unreliable turbines and boilers, Admiral Kuznetsov is known for catastrophic water supply and sanitation facilities, which is why half of toilets on it can not be used. The errors in water pipes mean that they freeze in the winter, the water is turned off for most of the cabin to prevent burst pipes.

- In the past ten years we have had our people on the Russian ships, and it is for them always a certain shock. The conditions are quite unhygienic. You know, all their ships outside look polished, but are actually terrible inside. Just see how the smoke ejected from the womb to make it clear that all is not right - told the Telegraph anonymous source from the British Royal Navy.

Maritime expert Peter Roberts further explained the problems they Kuznetsov carries:

- Kuznetsov was one of those ships in maritime jargon called "unhappy". For him, things have gone wrong since he designed, and later simply had no luck - says Roberts.

- Nothing is more depressing for the captain of the ship when the territorial waters leaving the accompaniment unit because his commander thinks it will spoil the ship on the way - he added Roberts.

However, Roberts and other maritime experts warn that this does not mean that the Admiral Kuznetsov should write off automatically:

- It's still a big, fast and impressive ship with good planes. According to American carriers have limited capabilities, but it does not mean that it should be written off.

On Kuznetsova is located 15 mixture, winks 29 and Sukhoi Su-33 and 10 offensive helicopters Ka 52nd
