The repair and modernization of the Admiral Chabanenko large anti-submarine ship, which was part of the Russian Northern Fleet and was sent for reconstruction back in 2014, will not be completed in 2025, as originally expected. This was reported by Izvestia sources, who found it difficult to name a specific timeframe for the completion of the work and the ship's departure for exercises.
The work is being carried out at the 35th shipyard, which for seven years repaired the only aircraft carrier in the Russian Navy cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov", eventually sent to mothballing.
Despite the fact that it was planned to install modern missile armament on the Admiral Chabanenko, reclassifying it as a frigate, the ship may suffer the same fate as the Kuznetsov, military expert Dmitry Boltenkov said. "It all depends on how the navy decides. Conservation is definitely a write-off in a few years. Then no one will deal with it anymore," he said.
