Heavyweight shock, 3 vs 3 who is stronger? The US military gathered 3 aircraft carriers to show their muscles in the Mediterranean, the Russian Navy was elite, and the three "aircraft carrier killers" copied from the north, east and west. This is a rare heavyweight mutual deterrent in recent years, the russian traditional aesthetics of violence against nato's three aircraft carriers, who has the advantage?
In the case of Ukraine, the contest outside the negotiating table is decisive.
The USs Truman aircraft carrier strike group, coupled with the French Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier and the Italian Cavour aircraft carrier, is a strong enough naval and air deterrent force, showing muscle in the Mediterranean, and naturally hoping to deter Russia and win more chips for itself.
But Putin is frightened, the Russian style has always been hard-hitting, disobeying to do it.
Didn't you get three aircraft carriers? I sent three "aircraft carrier killers" to make dumplings, and all three glorious-class cruisers actively in service of the Russian army rarely gathered in the Mediterranean. The "big ship and giant bomb" is by no means a joke, and if the US military doesn't care, I don't believe it anyway.
To the west, the cruisers "Marshal Ustinov" of the Russian Northern Fleet and the frigate "Admiral Kasitonov" have recently entered the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea.
To the east, the flagship of the Pacific Fleet, the cruiser Varyag, and the destroyer Admiral Tributs, have also entered the Eastern Mediterranean from the Red Sea after participating in the Sino-Russian-Iranian trilateral exercise.
Plus the cruiser Moscow, the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, which descended from the South of the Black Sea. This is basically the strongest sea lineup that the Russian army can dispatch.
A single Glory-class cruiser carries 16 P1000 Volcanic Rock heavy supersonic anti-ship missiles, "theoretically" capable of destroying an entire carrier battle group.
A volcanic rock heavy anti-ship missile is enough to sink a nearly 10,000-ton Ali Burke destroyer, or paralyze an aircraft carrier, and 48 for 3 Honor-class ships, at a range of 500 kilometers, enough to intimidate any opponent.
But the russian military's most prominent weakness is the aging of electronic equipment and the lack of carrier-based aviation.
The weaknesses of the Russian military are precisely the strengths of the US military, and if they are at a longer distance beyond the range of anti-ship missiles, the US military should theoretically occupy a certain advantage.
But the problem is that the main battlefield of the two sides is in the limited area of the eastern Mediterranean, which is precisely conducive to the Russian military to exert missile power, and the Russian army also has a task force at the Khmerimem Air Base in Syria, which can provide strong air cover, so it is difficult to say.
Both the MiG-31K and the Tu-22M3 supersonic strategic bombers of the Russian Air Force can carry dagger hypersonic anti-ship missiles with speeds of up to Mach 10 and a range of 2,000 kilometers, and the world cannot intercept them. This is more deadly than the "carrier killers" on the surface of three ships.
So don't look at the US military has a seemingly powerful aircraft carrier battle group, as well as France and Italy two little brothers to help the field, but in front of the Russian army, there is no qualification at all.
Moreover, the Russian army still has reservations, and the frigate Marshal Gorshkov, equipped with zircon hypersonic missiles, was not sent this time.
The area of the Black Sea is smaller and more closed, and the US aircraft carrier will never dare to step on it easily, otherwise it is easy to be saturated by the attack and close the door and hit the dog. The Eastern Mediterranean is now such a situation, so it is difficult for the US military to help in this field in Ukraine. Want to use three aircraft carriers to deter Russia? Putin will never give him that face.
