That is an interesting point. These neosoviets have made a living on designing equipment specifically to counter one enemy, American naval superiority. I wonder what they will come up with.
Exactly. Will their next carrier simply be the same sort of "ASW destroyer on crack" like their current one is, or will be a true mobile strike platform that is capable of project their power around the globe like ours are? A better question though is how has Russian naval doctrine changed in the last twenty years. How you use the ships you have is even more important then the ships themselves.
