ussia may finalize the construction of a flagship air carrier for the country's navy before the end of 2025, the Russian Navy's chief of naval aviation Major General Igor Kozhin said, according to Russian media outlets.


"It will take up to ten years to wrap up the construction of the flagship carrier, which will include a whole system of state tests," Kozhin said.

He added that the aircraft-related research work is now under way and that several projects related to the vessel's construction are already on the table.

Earlier, the Russian Navy's Deputy Commander on Armament Victor Bursuk said that the new aircraft carrier would be built after 2030.

A number of experts believe that the construction of a new ship of this class will begin after the completion of the ongoing reconstruction of the Sevmash shipyards.

Right now, Sevmash workers are dealing with the overhaul and modernization of a heavy nuclear missile cruiser, the Admiral Nakhimov, the cruiser Peter the Great and the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov.

Yeah but that thing is 4th gen old & India also requires a new 5th gen Naval fighter
Perhaps we can Navalize FGFA together

Well, Mig-29K\KUB currently in production and already in service in both Indian and Russian Navy. To make Naval version of PAK-FA\FGFA need several years.

Yes but you will eventually need 5th gen fighters for carrier & you will from some Russian sources you plan to build a new carrier & commission it by 2025 & 10 years is enough for Navalization of FGFA & not to forget just like Mig-29k you will have assured orders from your best buddies(Indians) so there will be no major funding problems for such a program also Brazil might be interested in it too
