The huge ship can carry up to 41 planes and 18 helicopters and is 305m long.

It will be based close enough to the Syrian coastline so that Russian troops can complete military tasks and return back, a source told TASS.

The military-diplomatic source said: 'The General Staff has prepared a plan for involvement of the deck aircraft in delivering strikes on terrorist groups in the Syrian Arab Republic, where the crews will practice taking off the carrier to deliver strikes on ground targets.'

In a joint effort between the Admiral Kuzetnov's crew and militants located at the Hmeymim Base, the Latakia airbase in Western Syria, strikes will be carried out in close coordination.

'The Admiral Kuznetsov," which will lead the Russian Navy’s permanent grouping in the Mediterranean Sea, will be close to the Syrian shore 'so that the deck aircraft have enough fuel to complete the military tasks and return back,' the source added.

On July 1, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said Russia’s Project 11435 aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov will receive the Kamov Ka-52K (NATO reporting name: Hokum-B) helicopter this year (2016).

A military and diplomatic source told TASS earlier that the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov would arrive in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea in autumn.

The ship is currently undergoing shipbuilders’ trials in the Barents Sea after repairs.

ISIS suffered further set-back on Sunday when the Iraqi town of Fallujah was declared fully liberated on Sunday.

Only scattered signs of ISIS's self-declared 'caliphate' remain in Fallujah, a city west of Baghdad which was seized by anti-government fighters in early 2014 and later became a key jihadist stronghold.

Iraqi forces declared victory on the weekend after government troops routed the remaining ISIS fighters from the city's north and west under the close cover of US-led coalition airstrikes.

The battle, which began May 22, was the latest in a string of territorial defeats for ISIS in Iraq over the past year.
