Aircraft Carriers kind of pushed out the Battleship following WWII because of vulnerability vs cost concerns. This actually caused a massive revolt and departure of officers in the US military called the Revolt of the Admirals and is part of why there is still some animosity between the services

right, russia can do more with less but china has about the same amount of resources as the US and can also do more with less. To grossly simplify things

I'd just rather Ireland stay neutral as we have a dogshit military

does it?

The air force had a lot of undue pull in design and material considerations in the military for decades

Honestly, China would get destroyed by the USA

It does.

It's mainly because of the cost of loosing one.

I like chicken

Russia and china, have fuck all on USA military wise

An aircraft carrier goes down that's billions of dollors and thousands off lives.

The U.S showed why battleships were outdated

US spends most of it's budget operating 800 bases world wide. It's struggling to service it'splanes.

China has men

Conscripts

Not men

I mean battleships are an amazing psychological weapon

Conscripts matter.

Just not a pragmatic one

How long is Russia's single active legally-not-a-carrier aircraft carrier out for

id say counting allies it would honestly by a M.A.D senario

Out for*

Oh they do

And the US military is disgustingly pragmatic these days.

Isn't that why they're looking into light attack aircraft the the beechhead? @Tea

The Koznetzov?

Yeah

I'm not sure.

After being damaged and whatnot

im curious why people still see russia like theyre the soviet

Beechhead AT six (my number six key broke)

Fear mongering

Mhm

and nukes

@Niko Good point. Western propaganda.

Also Ukraine

Because Russia is gay

Also Chechen war

US schools have a very nationalistic bias, and as such still tend to paint Russia as this horrible boogeyman

@Dimorac russia does still hold the deepest diving missle capable subs if im not mistaken
