Argentina had a :carrier, after all. : Argentina had several (serially). They never built one. They never operated the old obsolete ones they purchased at all effectively. They were quite small and operated only small numbers of obsolescent aircraft. This is the example you want to use to prove that Russia can ab initio create modern carrier strike groups faster than ANY nation has ever managed to do? No mention of Russia anywhere near my post. The comparison was Argentina and Saudi Arabia. The Russians do seem willing to sell anything to anybody. And the Saudis have got the cash. The question of WTF would the arabs want with a second rate carrier force seems to have been answered: they don't want it. They maybe need a few boats with 57mm or three inch. They need a coast guard, is all. Casady |
