:Nice plans, but can they be carried out?

:Very possibly, yes.

:The Russians are swimming in a river of petrodollars and at
:$100/barrel they will have the money to do the project.

:The expertise? They've got some "in house" and might just be able to
:hire the rest. We're not at war with Russia, and maybe not even in
:real competition with them. So if a Russian naval attache' offered a
:retired USN/USNR officer/enlisted, say, $150,000USD per year for a two
:year gig in some aspect of design, construction, or operation of a CV
:what might that person say? (These are tax free dollars, by the way.)
:
:And also consider that the USN is not the only operator of CVs. How
:might an RN, French Navy, Brazilian Navy, or Argentine Navy type
:respond to such an offer?
:
:While this would be a real mountain to climb for the Russian Navy it's
ne that could be conquered if enough greenbacks were piled high
:enough. Of course there are other "claimants" in Russian society for
:the petro-wealth they are generating. Thus it's much more a political
:question for them than a technical one.
:

You can throw all the dollars in the world at the thing and they can't
build and field what they're claiming in the time they're claiming.

No matter how hard you try, 9 women cannot make a baby in a month.
This is essentially what you're saying the Russians can achieve.

They can't.
