Where is Russia getting all the money to build this. I have read that some of these things are pipe dreams. Like Hitler looking at his magnificent city as the bombs were dropping.
How many carrier groups do we have?
And I don’t know if 600 BILLION is really cutting back.
Could go a lot further without graft and waste.

and 25% of their crew should be unqualified women and another 25% should be sexual perverts too just to make it fair
Did they have a layout of where the Vodka distillery is on the ship?

No, stands for Sh** Storm, because anything Russian made is going to be a whole lot of Sh**!
To: GeronL
and there probably is one too I figure there has to be one in the plans, they would never be able to find enough Russians that weren't alcoholics to man it.

I guess Russia and China didn’t get that message that aircraft carriers are obsolete
To: sukhoi-30mki
OK, that's nice.
Can they afford the rest of the task group and the replenishment ships that are needed to keep this thing from being a VERY expensive artificial reef if the balloon goes up?

An Aircraft Carrier and it ships are a formidable force against an adversary that is not technologically advanced. Our Aircraft Carries in combat against Russia or China will be sunk as surely as theirs will be sunk by us. They can send a few nukes by their aircraft but those aircraft will have no ship to land on after their mission.
That is just the way it is.

Right now they can’t even build large ships, they have to have someone build them for them, so the expectation date for this theoretical ship is what, to be completed in 15 or 20 years theoretically?

AMEN!!! I've read the f35, I think it's called, cant hold a candle to the A10. I'm not a military guy, but I know the soldiers love the A10. Do they serve the same purpose? or is the f35 something new and special? I don't know.
We should have a SICK military for 600 billion a year!! I hope we do. I know we are not paying the soldiers enough. Need that money for newborn illegals and welfare recipients. /s for those who don't know me by now

Why don’t they just ask Obutthole if they can buy one from us?

F35 and A10 fulfill different roles. A10 is ground-based and designed for ground attack, chiefly tank busting. F35 is ground or ship-based and designed for multiple purposes.

I am not aware of a new tank buster that is planned to replace the A10. However, some other multi-role aircraft can perform the ground attack mission.
The A10 was designed long ago with the main intent of devastating Warsaw Pact armored formations in central Europe. Since the likelihood of such an invasion is now deemed unlikely, a dedicated tank buster is deemed unnecessary.

Aircraft carriers are obsolete, as were our battleships in 1941.
