Thanks Jura..I did not trust the source of that news video. I searched and searched but could not find any other news source stating the Russian carrier was under tow.

actually if the Kuznetsov broke down, the dream of anti-Russian Propagandists would come true :)

they first tried the smoke (as if it mattered to the Russians ... for them, if she sails, she sails LOL plus I suspect Russians meant to give the Royal Navy

present, as I don't tend to believe in coincidences),

then they tried her low sortie-generation capacity (as if it mattered to the Russians ... they have the airbase right in Latakia, Syria, I mean they don't need a carrier in the area AT ALL to ramp up the bombing)

let's see what comes next

I mean the Kuznetsov is obviously inferior to the Nimitzes but that's not the point

EDIT
what's the point, then?
some are in what I already posted Oct 26, 2016
... USNI News Analysis: Russian Carrier Deployment to Syria is Propaganda, not Practical

as "First, the propaganda campaign: About a year ago Russian propaganda began heavily emphasizing the Syrian war, in domestic television, over the Ukraine war. That has mostly remained the case since then. The war in Syria emphasizes Putin’s role in fighting terrorism, and his propaganda machine emphasizes that Russia is making real progress against ISIS, unlike the West, and sometimes it even intimates that the West is behind ISIS. Therefore activity in Syria can be spun as part of Putin’s efforts to keep Russia safe from terrorists and Western powers.

The voyage of Admiral Kuznetsov around Europe is an opportunity for Russian propaganda to suggest that the Russian navy still appears threatening to Russia’s “traditional enemies” in the West.

I'm not fooled by Russian Propaganda either LOLOL

Ah ha!! I found this photo of the ADM"K" being refueled in the Mediterranean. To the unknowledgeable eye she looks like she is under tow. However this is how the Russians refuel. Bow to stern. The Russians have never mastered side by side refueling like the USN, PLAN & RN ..etc...etc..

since 00:20 says
"...the carrier is admittedly being towed to the Russian support point in the Syrian port of Tartus ..."
Is this what the Ministry of Truth knows? LOL

THank you. You are exactly correct.

I did intend Matadores and have gone back and corrected them.

No need to feel bad abut getting things right a long as we all do it with respect, which you most certainly did and I thank you for it.

AV-8A few capable only short range AAM in fact only able to intercept MPA or almost.
