The construction of Russia’s aircraft carrier will be started after 2025, a source in the country’s military-industrial complex said.
"Designing the aircraft carrier is under way, we can start construction no earlier than in 2025. We plan to begin construction no earlier than 2025 or 2030," TASS cited him as saying.
The most difficult task is "to coordinate what the Russian Navy needs and what industry can offer with regard to the fact that the air carrier should meet the requirements not of yesterday and today, but of tomorrow," he noted.
"The Russian Navy makes very stringent requirements on how the aircraft carrier should look, but we do not see anything that we can’t do in those requirements," a source added.
