It's time to stop posting, Tojo.

Russians never even bet on their navy, the plan was to spam Bear aircraft fitted with tons of cruise missiles to overwhelm a carrier battle group's air defense, that was their literal doctrine

How about you faggots read a book before posting shit

>Moskva gets counted as a carrier when all it can do is drag around helicopters while all the US ones listed can take jets.

Fuck off, clickbait. Sage and hide.

US was coming off it's most pro-navy president in 40 years. Soviets were on the verge of collapse and were already having trouble crewing and maintaining ships.

US wins overall, with possible Soviet sub victories.

Soviets inflict heavy damage
Entire surface navy destroyed within a year

These were Russian estimations by the way (from the late 70s where the Soviet navy was at the peak of its relative power). They fully expected NATO to ream their fleet seven new buttholes. The point of the Russian navy was to inflict enough damage on the Allied navy to prevent them from being able to operate in Soviet waters outright after it was over. Land based defenses were the expected line of defense against seaborne threats, and they much preferred the threat to be missing a large chunk of its anti ASM and SEAD prior to that.

They also had dedicated land defense subs strictly used to patrol the home waters. They were powerful, but few in number. Thinning out the ASW flotilla would make them a significant force multiplier rather than an asset operating suicidally.
