This article is one of the worst ones I’ve seen for a lack of comprehension and connectability.
TITLE: Russia [finally] joins exclusive club of countries with combat-tested aircraft carriers!
Russia joins US and France as combat-tested carrier operators. Oh hey, India has a [Russian] carrier. But, their old carrier is the only one that did combat ops, back in ‘71.
Also, the UK lost their carriers, like Spain (building more though!!!). But Italy, Brasil, and Thailand have carriers! [What combat ops have any of them done?]
China wants to play! [Again, what actual combat ops has the Chinese carrier been a part of?]
[Oh hey, did anyone mention Japan? The country with the second most combat carriers after the US? Or are we just not counting WWII?]
And yes, I broke FR rules and read the actual article. OP is NOT an excerpt...
