Not having a modern aircraft carrier fleet contradicts the Desire for World Domination claims.

Ships need to be driven at sea in the same way cars need to be driven and not garaged if you want them to be reliable when you need them.

Isn’t this the third time you have posted essentially the same article? Nobody respects a rabid paper hanger.

You don’t need an aircraft carrier to fight a land war in Asia.

Russia’s oversized barge is indicative how they view national security and power projection: They dabbled in it but don’t view it as important.

Expeditionary airfields make much more sense.

Reminds me of an old beater of a car I had in college.

Get your head in the game.

We don’t care about this stuff, we want Trump vs Harris articles.

I’m not sure why anyone would think of the Admiral Kuznetsov as the “pride and joy of the northern fleet”. Even to casual observers it has always been clear that the carrier was an attempt at geopolitical posturing, not really a part of the Russians’ battle doctrine.

The Real Truth About the Russian Carrier Kuznetsov by Ward Carroll, a former F-14 WSO for fifteen years .

During his time in the navy, he was onboard the USS America on its last tour when the Kuznetsov sailed to the Mediterranean in 1995. TLDR, the Kuznetsov was hastily and badly built due to economic needs and was and still is barely functional. She uses Mazut fuel oil, without preheating so the ship produces smoke that is visible from miles away and gets in everywhere onboard. The ship has power outages, lack of heating and AC, at times half the toilets work. During the deployment, the Kuznetov's evaporates broke and the ship had to dock in Syria to get safe drinking water. Later the ship's engines were so unreliable an ocean going tug was added to her operating group.

The USS America was on her last tour, and she had several times the capability and ran like a major warship should. Carroll did not have a good impression of the ship 20 years ago, and nothing has changed since. Just like Russia has not fixed problems with the rest of their military.

How do you know Putin is embarrassed? Been talking to him lately? I guess you’re the Mary Trump of the Kremlin.
