The Telegraph: Putin’s huge nuclear battlecruisers symbolise Russian naval decline
The Kirov-class nuclear-powered battlecruisers, once symbols of Soviet naval strength, now represent Russia's declining maritime capabilities. The only active vessel, Pyotr Velikiy, and the long-delayed Admiral Nakhimov highlight the challenges faced by the Russian navy, including economic strains and outdated technology.
Despite plans for refurbishment, Admiral Nakhimov's return has been postponed multiple times, reflecting broader issues in Russian naval strategy and construction capabilities.
