The media called the cruiser "Admiral Nakhimov" a future symbol of Russia's naval power

The Admiral Nakhimov heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser of the Russian Navy may become a symbol of Russia's naval power. This was reported by The War Zone (TWZ) portal on February 5.

It noted that for a long time the ship was in dry dock for modernization. It is reported that the end result will be almost a new ship, with new weapons and devices.

According to the authors of the material, the updated "Admiral Nakhimov" can become the most powerful warship of the Russian Navy.

"Whatever the final configuration of the Admiral Nakhimov after its return to service, this impressive warship will become a highly significant symbol of Russia's naval power and could potentially serve for years to come," TWZ emphasized.

Before that, on January 11, it was reported that the cruiser "Admiral Nakhimov" made a physical launch of the nuclear reactor. In addition, an employee of the defense-industrial complex notified about the completion of the operation to demagnetize the ship.

"Izvestia" in November 2024 wrote that after modernization the ship will receive ten universal launch modules for 80 missiles "Kalibr", "Onyx" and "Zirkon".
