The ship is planned to be completely repaired by 2024, but even if done, the Russian Federation needs to find 1500 skilled sailors and staff for at least visible readiness for tasks. In the Russian Federation, they still plan to return to the service of the only aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" in order until 2024, but now a ship without crew. About it reports The War Zone.

For 6 years, Admiral Kuznetsov's aircraft carrier has been overhauling now on his way of returning to the system has another obstacle - the absence of a crew. The Russian Defense Ministry has started preparing for the formation of a new crew, but it is unknown how much time the search and training of a new crew will take. According to Russian estimates, the Navy plans to hire 1500 people, which is less than 400 than it was for repair.

It is officially explained with the installation of automated systems and units. However, the publication states that in addition to officers, navigations, communications and other crew members, specially trained specialists in the operation and maintenance of aviation equipment are required. Through the Russian-Ukrainian war, find the necessary number of people and specialists will be a difficult task.

"Even if there are 1500 suitable sailors, their training and familiarization [with aircraft carrier] will take months because" Kuznetsov "is the largest excess ship in Russia. Even the old team would be difficult to learn how to work properly with recently installed equipment. to major accidents, " - says the Russian Navy expert Matus sad.

Therefore, the initial stage in the Russian Federation can attract qualified officers from other ships on a rotary basis to ensure the "approximate performance" of the aircraft carrier. However, the problem is that the Russian fleet needs at least 800 seafarers for Admiral Nakhimov, which will also leave the repair, which began in 1999.
