The Russian admiral is probably correct. Drone warfare is changing everything, just as the aircraft carrier eventually sent the battleships to the graveyards.

The Admiral is correct. Carriers are not the future. But we find them pretty handy right now.

I recall when this thing had to be towed to Syria a few years back. At that time it was an unworkable piece of junk. And I wondered why can’t the Russians get it right? The US and Japanese had aircraft carriers figured out before WWII, and Russia is still tinkering with the idea? Something is terribly wrong.

“Humiliation for Putin as Russia ‘looks set to SCRAP its only aircraft carrier after seven years of failed repairs’”

He got 7 years, wasn’t it the Brits who couldn’t make it out of the North Sea with theirs?

That piece of krap is about half the tonnage as a US Aircraft carrier.

It’s not as if the Brits have many aircraft carriers. The Royal Navy has fallen a long way from it’s glory days.

Soon, very soon, the United Kingdom will be under the banner of Islam. They will be waving the flag of ISIS, and their women will become sexual slaves. The vast majority of liberal English and (specifically) Scottish men are degenerate homosexuals. They have a destiny with a roof and a tall building. Enjoy eating your crow Daily Mail, while everything around you collapses. /spit

Did aircraft carriers prevent the Houthis from sinking another bulk carrier bound for Israel?
