Why Russia Both Covets and Thinks Poorly of American Aircraft Carriers
Lyle J. Goldstein, The National Interest - 16 minutes ago
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Russian Navy, Americas* [image: Russian Navy] U.S. aircraft carriers are the envy of the world, but they are also very costly and might be too easy to take out in battle. *Key point: *Moscow has an incentive to play down the might of the American navy.
