The Russian Navy’s heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser Admiral Nakhimov is likely to “rest in peace.” This is stated in the article, published in the American magazine The National Interest.

The publication came to the conclusions about the “death” of the cruiser, which in 2020 was named in the Forbes material as potentially the most powerful surface non-aircraft-carrying warship in the world, after analyzing the delays in the delivery of the “Admiral Nakhimov” to the Russian Navy.
According to the magazine, the Russian fleet “due to problems with suppliers” will receive the cruiser no earlier than 2023, although it was previously planned to do so in 2022. According to the newspaper, “serious work” on the “Admiral Nakhimov” began in 2013 and was supposed to end in 2018 – the specific reasons for the delays in the delivery of the ship are unknown.
In July 2020, RIA Novosti wrote that the Admiral Nakhimov of Project 1144 Orlan, after a deep modernization, would be able to single-handedly contain the fleet of the North Atlantic Alliance.
In October 2019, military expert Viktor Litovkin in conversation from Ura.ru said that the nuclear cruiser “Admiral Nakhimov”, which is being repaired, in case of commissioning, will not in any way affect the balance of forces between the Russian Navy and the US Navy. He explained this by the fact that the Americans have 11 aircraft carrier strike groups, while the Russian Federation has none.
