HI Sutton has gone off the deep end after the war in Ukraine started. His analysis have started to become a collection of cope and western hubris as of late.

in the official CCTV news: "After the ship is launched, mooring tests and sailing tests will be carried out as planned", outfitting is not mentioned at all. An omission or it's done in the dry dock already?
