Russians have no real need for an aircraft carrier and it would probably get sunk rather easily.

Big ships are fine targets.

And yet, the Russians continue to pour massive amounts into attempting to keep the Kuznetsov afloat.

You should send them an email.

Re #9. If that was trolling, that was a really bad effort.

How to Hide a Task Force, by Andy Pico. The US navy has a hundred years experience in carriers. First, to sink a carrier Russia has to find it. During NORPAC 82 the US Navy made that abudnantly clear how difficult that is to the Russian navy and naval aviation. Then after finding it, there's sinking it. A carrier, its airwing of 80 to 100 aircraft, a dozen escorts, their helicopters, two attack submarines trying not to be seen, and allied navy forces will make that interesting and expensive for anyone who tries it.
