A recent fire aboard the Russian spy ship Kildin, off the Syrian coast, has drawn attention to the deteriorating condition of the Russian navy. The 55-year-old vessel faced trouble while monitoring Syria, ultimately losing steering and signaling distress. This incident follows previous accidents, like the fire on the Admiral Gorshkov, raising concerns about the operational readiness and maintenance capabilities of the Russian fleet. Analysts emphasize that these ongoing issues reflect a broader pattern of disrepair affecting Russia's naval presence in the Mediterranean.
The Kildin's distress, combined with prior incidents involving the Admiral Gorshkov, suggests a troubling state of disrepair within the Russian navy, particularly in the Mediterranean.
According to experts, mishaps on Russian naval vessels highlight long-standing issues of maintenance and readiness that plague the entire fleet, not just in the Mediterranean.
