Reply to comment by Opposite_Ad_3715 in 'Ready for anything': US aircraft carrier crew training for war with Russia but aims to deter threats by MGC91

Maybe, but if you want to use your aircraft carrier you have go near the cost, and there is no chance to find a small, quietly submarine there. Or in the scenario of the Russian flagship, Ukraine just use more than one missle and a drone. There is no upper limit to use just more missiles or drones. Aircraft carrier not useful in modern wars outside bombing some stone age culture.

… aircraft carriers will never get close to a coast. Carriers during the Iraq war from what I recall were “parked” in Turkey, nowhere close to Iraq. And you’re comparing the sunken Russian Moskva to a US aircraft carrier…? Far from apples to apples. Again, included in a carrier battle group are anti-air ships (and the aircraft from the carrier itself). A drone will have a hard time getting close.

Certified arm chair general here. Grammar and spelling on point to go along with it. Hope the US Navy hires you as a consultant. Don’t take anything less than $1 billion an hour for your immense expertise.

You don't get it. My theory is, that this kind of weapon is build to conquer resources and land from people not able to defend them self. It is not for defend themselves from anybody able to attack. We have to discuss it, because it is built for future crimes of the US.

Your theory is beyond dumb. Carrier battlegroups are huge, their defenders are also massive as the can be ground based defence systems (depending if they have support from the coast) it’s own aircraft it launches also acts as a deterrent and defensive mechanism, then you got multiple ships that are built around the idea of protecting themselves and others through C-RAMS, missile systems and jamming abilities.

There’s a reason why aircraft carriers are still around and the fact that your pathetic mind can’t grasp the reason why is just mind bogglingly stupid.

I thought Russian trolls were supposed to be better than this? Putler must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel.
