Black Sea Fleet Losses Prompt Russia To Build Aircraft Carrier Armed With Su-57? Ex-Admiral Says...

Vladimir Putin is reportedly planning to build a 100,000-ton supercarrier in a bid to rival the West. Retired Russian Vice Admiral Vladimir Pepelayev detailed Russia’s plans to flex its military muscle once again in an interview to RIA news agency. After retiring from his previous post, the Vice Admiral was tasked with developing an aircraft carrier at the Krylov Research Institute. The comments come in the backdrop of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet (BSF) receiving severe blows from persistent Ukrainian attacks. According to Pepelayev, the mammoth carrier would also be capable of launching stealth fighter jets, like the Su-57.
