Aircraft carriers are not obsolete, they are still very useful ... one reason why the US maintains military dominance with capabilities no other country has

And unlike tanks, they can be surrounded by a fleet of other ships to be a “first line” of defense

More villages and big chunks continue to fall to the Russians.
This is what losing looks like.😂

Have you considered that no country has even tried to sink a carrier since WWII? What if it were attacked by 50 small drones all at once? They certainly wouldn’t sink it, but those $100 million jets sitting in the deck are relatively fragile and a 4 lb bomb would take one out and probably the ones next to it.
