As for the ship and aviation personnel, the admiral believes that they will not be able to operate.
“Equipment needs maintenance. In the navy, after the flag is raised, the weapons are always rotated so that they are in combat condition. Therefore, now that it has stood motionless under the influence of precipitation, no one needs it anymore except scrap metal collectors. This applies to ship and aviation personnel,” Komoyedov said.
