They don't. The United States, with a stronger economy and much more experience in carrier aviation didn't build at anything near the rate the Russians claim they want to. What reason is there to believe they can do it? I guess you didn't notice what they did in WW II. Thousands of tanks. Hundreds of thousands of sub-machine guns. Ammo. and all while under attack. ships require a bit more infrustructure than tanks or submachine guns. any locomotive ot truck factory can make a tank and they can be located anywhere a shipyard has to be in a spot with deep water access.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Now you're trying to tell us that Russia has NO shipyards and no deep water ports. sure they have some, but not many. leningrad/st pete is one. the black sea ports are now in the ukraine. the ukrainians aren't about to let the ruskis back in after just having gotten rid of them. siberia/kamchatka would need some serious bulding programs to become useful as a home for any modern fleets. The lease on the base in the Ukraine lasts until 2017 after which it is planned to move it to Novorossiysk, which is Russian and on the Black Sea. Some study of the politics and geography of the area seems indicated. Peter Skelton |
