USSR 2.0 invests wisely in unbeatable anti-aircraft missile systems, excellent fighter aircraft and nukes galore.
Carriers are great for projecting air power.
However, Russia continues to enhance naval base presence in Syria, Crimea, and who knows else where.
Aircraft carriers are sitting ducks in a world of new super hypersonic cruise missiles, drone swarms, undetectable silent subs armed with ultrafast torpedoes, to name a few lethal threats.
Isn’t there a picture of new president Obola publicly carrying a end-of-American-supremacy book?
How telling...
I always find it interesting that carriers (which are highly mobile) are considered sitting ducks. What does that make air bases?
