Aircraft carrier. You can say it's useless. But you must have it.
 
Aircraft carriers don't go to mission alone. They have escorts to protect themselves. Frigates, destroyers, and submarines are used as escorts to protect aircraft carriers. Indians are overrating Brahmos. Brahmos is nothing but an Indian version of Russian Yakhont anti ship missile.
They run away 1300 km's from the scene when the drones and anti ship ballistic missiles come flying in. This what happened with the CVN D. Eisenhower 2 days ago.

An F-18 got shot down too in da confusion.

Irans drone carrier and its forward operating base ships are great innovations. Nobody has attempted riding the blue waves like this before in power projection:

 
You are correct. The source I was looking at had a mistake. USS Gerald R. Ford is a 100,000 ton carrier with nuclear propulsion.

One Russian military expert had said that China will loose 40% of its navy to sink one aircraft carrier of US. This is the power of US aircraft carriers. When they move in battle group like say in 7th fleet, its power is horrifying. This battle group can finish of many small nations and overpower any damn navy.

Sorry, I'm just curious. Can Russia even make aircraft carriers?

Well in WWII for Japan, and for the Wester powers even in WWI, Aircraft carriers converted from Cargo ships were very common. You just have supporting poles/stilts go up from the hold and framework of the cargo ships to support a platform which uses timber (in the Iranian case, steel sheets). Here is a Japanese early carrier from WWII. A bit detailed but you get the idea.

According to common sense in our human world ~ INS Vikramaditya, made in the Soviet Union. 🤣

I'm sorry to inform you. From 1991 to 2024. Russia never builds aircraft carriers.

Brother @Jiangnan - are there naval variants of 红旗-19 and 红旗-22 missiles to counter Hyper Glide Missiles on recent make Chinese Destroyers? Can these be fitted on Frigates?

What was soviet union? It was United state of Soviet Russia. Some small countries separated from Russia. You bought your first aircraft Lining from the Ukraine, a soviet union Nation. So don't brag here. Check your own history first.
Post USSR disintegration, Russia focused on Submarines. Even USSR made submarines had as much displacement as your carrier. During WWII, German warships were as heavy as your aircraft carrier.

Carriers are nearing the end of their usefulness in modern military's. Iran's far smarter in utilizing its FOB (forward operating bases) concept and now cheap converted tankers and turning them into drone carriers.

Replicating a Nimitz class today is not only foolish, but a total waste of money.

The D. Eisenhower recently fled the red sea after being subjected to a 3 anti-ship ballistic missile attack and bracketed by 17 drones. Lost an F-18E during the confusion too and its strike packages just struck houthi port infrastructure.

Calm down, you have suffered another mental breakdown. Can't you accept the common sense of our human world?

Answer now. I said, Russia never builds aircraft carriers. Russia also lacks the capability to build aircraft carriers. Yes or no?

The mental state of Indians is as bad as their aircraft carriers.🤣

Mostly, it depends upon a country's strategic ambition. If you have an offensive design with blue water operations far away from your soil, you need aircraft carrier. For defensive role, they don't have much use. When some guys in India were pressing for third aircraft carrier, some guys voiced contrary to that and said that investing resources in submarines is a batter option.

Your Brain's size is as small as your body. Your question is already been answered in detail.
 
I heard that Mistral class LHD is the dream of the Russian Navy. It's true?



@Krishna with Flute @Bilal9 @Mainerik


Don't know whether it is Russia's dream ship or not but it is French boat so it must be a very advance ship. When French refused to deliver it and paid panelty, I was surprised how a country like Russia important defence stuff from some country?
