Will Russia build more Aircraft Carriers? Few people know that in the past the Soviet Union had built a huge nuclear powered aircraft carrier, with the same power as the US Nimitz-class super-carrier. Unfortunately, the breakup of the Soviet Union led to the sudden death of this ship. At the end of the Cold War, with the ambition to prevent the US Navy from approaching its shores, the Soviet Union carried out a huge project to build the largest aircraft carrier named Ulyanovsk. This aircraft carrier was planned to runs on nuclear power.

However, the Ulyanovsk was only 20% built when the Soviet Union broke up in 1991. By 1992, Russia was experiencing economic difficulties, could not afford to maintain expensive military programs, and the Ulyanovsk was scrapped. With an ambitious project in the Soviet era but ultimately sold for scrap by Russia, military analysts could not help but regret it.

Currently, Russia is ambitious to revive the dream of building a nuclear super-carrier with a large payload to compete with the US, but the quick dismantling of scrap of the Ulyanovsk super-carrier makes many people regret.

Russia is maintaining only one aircraft carrier Kuznetsov in service, but this ship is constantly breaking down and its performance is not as expected.

Hope you enjoy!!
