Putin: Russia’s Military Strength Has No Match In The World

UK sailed one it's new super-carriers today despite having no aircraft that can use it.

Incorrect:  It is not due to be commissioned for service until 2020 - the USA VTOL aircraft will begin training in next year

Huge waste of taxpayers money....

May be building a big target isn't wise in this day and age.

Anything that big is no longer a target.

Not near as big of a waste of taxpayers money as welfare, or a war you are not ready for.

No they might get a few reconditioned aircraft. A 'new aircraft' is still far away.

Please understand Sputnik has another article titled "Bracing for Chaos: August Solar Eclipse Could Bring Disaster Nightmare to US"

Yes the ability to hit 'targets' seems to be a Russian skill.

Perhaps this should be added to the Baltic thread but it indicates in a broad sense the accuracy of Russia on a multitude of fronts.

Keep it up Hulio!

Futuristic Russian Military Suit Gets Nuclear-Proof Upgrade

https://www.livescience.com/60675-russian-supersuit-nuclear-proof-watch.html

Your article at the end uses a position from NBC that Trump want to increase our nuclear arsenal 10X.  When called on it, NBC was not able to give any possible source where they got that. It is not in any budget request or budget plans and none of Trump's inter circle advisors will admit to ever hearing him say anything like that. Most of our nuclear arsenal is 60 years old and there are plans to modernize it but these plans actually call for a reduction in the number of nuclear missiles.
