“But again if there was a fighting coalition including Russia/USSR (like WW1 or WW2) this coalition wins.”

Too funny! Russia was knocked out of WWI early, so its “contribution” was little more than giving the Germans target practice and entertainment.

“Opposite coalition loses.”

You’ve already been proved wrong on that.

If Russia was such a “team player” in WWII why did it sign a neutrality pact with Imperial Japan in April, 1941, in which it agreed to intern any allied forces that ended up in Russia? Oh, right: At the time Russia was an ally of Nazi Germany and, arguably, Imperial Japan. Even when, two months later, Germany attacked Russia, Russia still maintained its relations and agreements with Japan, even AFTER Japan attacked the US at Pearl Harbor. Russia in fact interned US airmen who had to make an emergency landing in Russia after bombing Japan in the Doolittle raid of April, 1942. Those airmen were interred by Russia for a year before they escaped.

“Big fleet is need the one who wants dominate the world. Russia don’t want it. She just want to keep hers, return stolen form her and defend herself against anybody.”

Bullcrap, Ivan. If that were the case, why has Russia allied with Communist China, which has a DEFINITE desire to dominate the world, and has a larger navy than the US? Because Russia wants to be a partner with China for world domination.

“Second thought. Why one needs aircarrier if she can’t get close to a shore because antiship missiles have twice bigger range than her airplanes?”

In your dreams, Ivan.

Think about it. Say aircarrier approaches a shore of hostile country. But long before her aircraft may reach a shore the antiship missiles start from shore and get to aircarrier. And sink her.

Why that? Because antiship missile don’t need to return home. So its missile range is twice big as of airplane based on carrier which make aircarrier useless against strong country with advanced antiship missiles. Aircarrier just gets under strike from shore long before she can strike back. She can harass some weak country like Somalia but that is it.
