[Sasparilla]

Probably being built from stolen American technology and blueprints.

Russia is broke so this will never get built. Nothing to worry about here.

[Snickering Hound]

Putin must own the factory that makes models of proposed Russian warships.

There was recently a thread on FR discussing the fact that gargantuan aircraft carriers were great as a projection of force against weaker nations but not so useful against serious armies such as the US, Russia, and China. I don’t remember all the specifics but the gist was their size, and limited maneuverability made them easy targets for modern missiles.

So they're going to make it fully digital?

Big deal.

Russia developing aircraft carrier with no world analogs

The world's first all-digital aircraft carrier!

[Krosan]

Russians just like to make such announcements to keep their people happy and rarely actually build anything. Helps that the people seem to have a very bad memory and never wonder why these announced megaprojects never go anywhere.

[Vendome]

It’ll cost between $2 and $6 Billionzzzzz?

Yeah, cuz a budget like that in the business world is totally realistic. ..

[Rinnwald]

Nice to see Russian defense firms are also fluent in bullshitski.

[rfreedom4u]

$5.6 billion?

That’s an awfully expensive target for one of our fast attack subs.

Future US Aircraft Carriers....

[spetznaz]

Naval PakFas with folding wings on the model?

[pgkdan]

Bull. Russia’s never innovated anything except new and better torture techniques.
