With any luck Kuznetsov will have another fire or their dry dock will spontaneously combust again. It should be an official status of their naval ships since it happens so often.

Originally I think the Kuznetsov was due to retire in I think 2025. Its a pretty antiquated hull. given what the Chinese, the British (Queen Elizabeth), and especially the American's are putting out.
With the current economic situation and the Russian Navy really not being a power projection fleet but more of a frigate coastal defense navy. I doubt that Kuznetsov does another tour.
