I'm going to assume you meant carrier number 4 (as number 3 is being built in Shanghai). I don't believe Dalian will start construction of the next carrier this soon, because neither Liaoning (#16) nor her sister ship have entered into active duty. If any major problems are discovered with either of them, the dry dock may be needed. I feel construction of the next carrier at Dalian will start once both carriers are in active duty.

While Liaoning and her twin sister are going through refit, a horrible accident happened at Roslyakovo for Admiral Kuznetsov. Dry dock unintentionally flooded and sunk due to pump failure and a crane crashed onto her during major refit.
Russia will be w/o their lone carrier for no doubt many more months if not years.

No longer a dry dock then ?

It never was a dry dock. It was a swim dock and now it is a dive dock.

So disappointed. I expect this kind of stuff from India, not Russia... so much face palm...
