If Russia has to build some carriers, they'd best not build VTOL carriers. Russia doesn't have a good VTOL air system-- your two best planes are the Fulcrum and the Flanker in their newest variants. Well flown, they will match anything Russia is likely to face, and if you do get into a fight, you need the overload power of the Crane or the MiG-29. Paired with good situational awareness systems- ie. newer, smarter radars to vector them, they could even get their noses on stealthy targets. Of course, that's another topic. Put them together with some Akulas (I think you all call them Shukas, your 971 series attack subs) that are equally well handled and you should be on your way. Some surface combatants the size of your Sovremmney class would do wonders.
Your navy will be all right, in time-- partnering with the US on operations would also be an experience boost for your crews and if Russia and the US can successfully build together on their common interests there will be a lot of other benefits for both nations. |
