What capabilities will the updated ship acquire and are these expenses going to be justified in response to the shortage of new generation fighting ships? Talks about modernization of Admiral Nakhimov and other battlecruisers of Project 1144, withdrawn from the combat-ready forces of the fleet in the 90s, have been circulating for a very long time, but due to a lack of funds they had virtually no real implementation.
