I'm sure the Battle of Tsushima was also sabotage right?

Or the time when the Kutznetsov lost power and had to be tugged thru the English channel?

Or the time it lost its ability to launch planes and they had to be transferred to a land base?

Everyone just keeps picking on them! It couldn't be that this is a relic from the cold war and their modern government is a graft-filled joke.

My opinion is that the Kutznetsov's history makes it implausible that it's a fine, seaworthy vessel that's simply been the target of unending sabotage.

You'd think if we'd done this, Russia would make loud noises about it. They generally seem happy to let the world forget that this embarrassment of a ship exists, except when it needs to chug slowly past the UK.

There is, after all, a reason they don't put it to sea without a dedicated tug specifically for when propulsion fails for the 15th time.

Then my question to you is, why hasn't Russia alleged it? Or did I simply miss that?
