Russia's show of naval strength in the English Channel may have backfired, with black smoke belching from the country's recently-refitted aircraft carrier hinting at engine troubles, a military analyst says.
The 31-year-old, 306m-long Admiral Kuznetsov, Russia's only aircraft carrier, was the highlight of a Russian armada that passed through the Channel on Friday, on its way to Syria.
