Bad news for the Russian Navy

According to TASS News and social media footage, a fire has erupted onboard Russia's only aircraft carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov, at a naval dock in Murmansk, northwest Russia. The aircraft carrier was undergoing repairs and maintenance when fuel tanks caught fire.
3 workers have been reported wounded in the fire on the Admiral Kuznetsov. Firefighters say that fire is in the wiring system of the vessel, and they cannot get to it. The Governor of the Murmansk region is heading to the site.
The fire has spread to a space of 600 square meters, according to sources.  
Who knows what damage this will cause to the already rickety old girl, and will the Russian state have enough money to repair this additional damage?

  2. And there are rumors that both India and Red China have had to basically gut everything and rebuild in order to get theirs to work.
