Russian aircraft carried never finished

 

The Russian navy’s sole aircraft carrier, the unfortunate Admiral Kuznetsov, was supposed to leave the port of Murmansk, in northern Russia, this spring for the first time in seven years. This according to a July 2023 report in Russian state media.

Kuznetsov didn’t leave. Instead, the 58,000-ton flattop – launched in 1985 and commissioned into the Soviet fleet six years later – remains pierside in Murmansk. Recent satellite imagery shows construction equipment still strewn across her 1,001-foot deck.

I'm currently watching a long form interview with Amaryllis Kennedy, former CIA and a member of the JFK clan by marriage.  If half of what she's saying is true, the aircraft carrier would be a waste of their money if the SHTF.

 

Bad news.  Ours won't save us either, in a war of ones, zeroes and electrons.

Especially if kamikaze pilots are flying the Zeroes.

In the age of drones, are aircraft carriers still the tactical advantage they used to be?

Aircraft carriers never travel alone. They are always surrounded by a defensive flotilla which provides peripheral defence. The biggest threat to an aircraft carrier is, and always has been, a submarine.
