In a surprising development, Russia has seemingly formed a mechanised battalion from the crew of its only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov.
Sending an aircraft carrier crew to front line ground operations?
This is the best use of Russian manpower since they drafted that pediatric neurosurgeon and marched him into combat, rifle in hand.

It seems to fill provide a little more background. For instance, it appears the Kuznetsov, the only Russian aircraft carrier they have is "unlikely to deploy ever again" (it hasn't been deployed in 8 years). The crew is 1,500 and they've been "reassigned." Apparently Russia has to "mobilize the 30,000 fresh troops" "every month just to replace battlefield losses"killed, wounded and captured"in Ukraine."
Apparently no more aircraft carriers for Russia because all the know-how and factories that built those engines were all in Ukraine.
Aircraft carriers are fighting the last war.

Yeah! Unlike those state of the art tanks Russia has unveiled in this war.
