Title: Why does Russia not have aircraft carriers?The story behind it shatters military myths
Why does Russia not have aircraft carriers?- The Shocking Truth Behind the Ship
The fact that a great power has no aircraft carrier is definitely the greatest irony in today's military circles. Russia, as a world-class military power, ironically does not have an aircraft carrier shipyard. This can't help but make people speculate, is it technology or will?Is it a resource or a strategy?Why did Russia choose this way?
Let's go back in history and have to mention the Newport News shipyard in the United States. This private shipyard, which is the only one, is not only able to design and build nuclear-powered aircraft carriers on its own, but also controls the lifeblood of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the United States. Isn't Russia able to match this kind of shocking strength?
Jiangnan Shipyard, as the pride of China, originated from the Westernization Movement of the Qing Dynasty and gradually evolved into an important town for China's manufacturing of naval equipment. In the past hundred years, it has not only built missile destroyers, but also promoted the vigorous development of the country's national defense. The Dalian Shipyard, with its powerful military technology, has built important ships for the Chinese Navy.
At present, Russia once had the technology to manufacture aircraft carriers during the Soviet Union, but with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the uncertainty of technology transfer has caused it to lose this valuable resource. Lacking its technical heritage, other shipyards in the country are unable to undertake aircraft carrier construction tasks due to geographical limitations and economic difficulties. This kind of regret of missing a thousand miles by a millimeter is really sad.
Russia, a powerful country, has chosen to abandon the construction of aircraft carriers. On the world stage, they are more inclined to develop ** that is conducive to defense, such as cruisers, destroyers, etc. Is this a trade-off wise or short-sighted?The argument that the aircraft carrier has no combat effectiveness is obviously open to discussion, because after all, it is the mothership of carrier-based aircraft, and the supporting carrier-based aircraft will be a huge amount of capital investment, which Russia cannot afford.
In this regard, netizens also expressed their opinions. Some believe that Russia abandoned the construction of aircraft carriers in order to avoid a waste of resources and focus on more practical military equipment. But some people have questioned whether this choice is too conservative and whether it is giving up a strategic weapon that may be crucial in future wars
In any case, Russia's decision to have no aircraft carriers has caused a lot of thinking and **. This is not only a choice at the military level, but also a choice of national development strategy. Perhaps, the decision now is a gamble, but the judgment of history will be the final verdict.
To be continued. 
Russia does not build aircraft carriers, so what?Someone might say, "Gee, isn't that a good thing?"Don't we also have a few aircraft carriers?"But the problem is, this is a contest between great powers!You see, the United States has 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, China is also actively developing, and we have several of them. But this Russia, but our big neighbor, a military power, does not even have an aircraft carrier, isn't it too exaggerated?
Isn't it just an aircraft carrier, you say?But this is the base of carrier-based aircraft!You have aircraft carriers, carrier-based aircraft have territory;Without an aircraft carrier, your planes would have to find a random place to stop. By the way, there is also a deployment strategy!When you have an aircraft carrier, you have a mobile base at sea that can flexibly respond to various situations. Russia does not even have aircraft carriers, which shows what is the situation of maritime strength and strategic deployment.
Our shipyards in China, Jiangnan and Dalian, both in terms of history and current development, are quite powerful. Jiangnan Shipyard has been developing since the Westernization Movement of the Qing Dynasty, creating countless China's first firsts and making great contributions to national defense. In the course of various reforms and developments, Dalian Shipyard has been striving to enhance its international competitiveness and has built one important ship after another for the national navy.
In China, not only do we have aircraft carriers, but new aircraft carriers are being built, and the aircraft carrier formation is also developing and growing. That's how much we focus on our ocean strategy. For a military power like Russia, it is a bit surprising that it does not even build aircraft carriers. Does Russia think that aircraft carriers are useless?Or do you feel like the money is spent on something else that is more important?Isn't that weird?
Of course, if Russia wants to do something at sea, it doesn't necessarily have to have an aircraft carrier. They have other powerful ** equipment, such as cruisers, destroyers, submarines, and these are also quite powerful guys. Perhaps Russia feels that they have more things to focus on and that there is no need to waste so much money on aircraft carriers.
However, do you say that this is a bit conservative?After all, the world is developing so fast that no one dares to say what the form of future wars will look like. If you don't build an aircraft carrier now, what if you need it in the future?Of course, these are all things that we laymen worry about. Russia has made its own choice, and we can only look at the excitement, after all, each country's strategy has its own considerations.
In short, Russia's decision not to build aircraft carriers is a bit surprising. As a military power, there must be a lot of considerations and reasons behind this choice. After all, the strategy of a great power is not something that we outsiders can easily understand. Let's just wait and see, maybe the future situation will give us the answer.
