To be honest I don’t understand why does Russia need extensive Navy at all.
I think a purchase of these ships makes no sense and it was probably a stupid political act to prop up bankrupt French shipbuilders and do France a favor for some unknown future benefits.
I actually believe Khrushchev ‘s naval doctrine of a boomer as a main naval force was the most fitting for Russia.
Gorshkov’s doctrine of the 1970s which was about to field a dozen aircraft carriers and outnumber USN in a number of ships was a waste and useless.
Russia is a peaceful nation which is not fomenting takeovers on the other sides of the globe after all.

It’s good to wake up with a hot cup of coffee and a laugh. Thanks!
Lol, for a person who is part of Russian aggression and conquest, you sure do a poor job of propagandizing.

Horse $hit! Russia, for all of it’s existence, has been second only to Nazi Germany in terms of being an aggressor nation. We should continue to sanction Russia into collapse so they have to oust Putin. World oil price declines are beginning to devastate the Russian economy and that’s a good thing.
