Russia don't need to build aircraft carrier. Yasen attack submarine is armed with Kalibr land attack

Qaeda was beaten by missiles.

al qaeda is not a conventional army in the classic sense

1 missile can destroy a carrier. 1 Exocet sunk Sheffield. If the hit is on the ammo storage.


Yes but its not that easy, A carrier is normally heavily defended by the SAMs & Anti Aircraft Systems, thats not a cakewalk for any Airforce. The whole Squadron is normally needed to destroy the carrier.

Had India not having the Carrier INS Vikrant on the Eastern Front in 1971, it would have been impossible for Indian Navy to do the naval blockade of East Pakistan.

Cruise missiles have better striking range than carrier planes. If the target is only some weak Qaeda then of course no need to build a carrier.

cruise missiles do not win sustained wars

Sure it can. Cruise missiles do a lot of damage. ISIS power stations were smashed by cruise missiles fired by subs, severely weakening their fighting ability and boosting allied ground forces battling ISIS on the front. Of course, only ground grunts can take land. The purpose of navy is to give a helping hand to ground grunts by striking crucial installations deep behind enemy lines, such as power stations, munitions plants, mines.

you need ground troops to do the job
aircraft carriers give air cover to the landing ground troops

and they have different strategy than USN, to overwhelm saturated supersonic/subsonic anti ship cruise missles from air/ground (coastal areas), Ships and from submarines @nahtanbob

Subs can also give cover fire.

But not air cover @undertakerwwefan

No need. Marines construct airbase only after at least 1000 km of the coast is safe.

Cruise missile isn't useful against multiple targets and can't be alternative to Aircraft carrier @undertakerwwefan

You don't need planes to bomb Qaeda. Just lob cruise missiles from subs. These strike further than planes can. The key is good recon. For that you need MALE UCAV to locate enemy installations far behind the lines. Such as power planes, munitions factories, training camps, mines. UCAV pass locations of targets to subs in real time. Targets destroyed within minutes.

I am talking about against well develop armed forces like Pakistan, China, Iran this strategy only work well against low intensity threats like Terrorist but not against well develop armed forces of the world @undertakerwwefan

No war with big countries. No one can afford it. The most China Russia America ever fight is Qaeda in Syria and Iraq. Any invasion of a major power will immediately go nuclear.
