Topic: Russian Aircraft Carriers vs. US Aircraft Carriers.

The American one kicks the Russian one easy.
It's pretty fast, I think it can go just under 30 knots, the biggest ones even. And they can carry up to or close to 100 aircraft. With 4 catapults, it can launch aircraft with a heavier payload in quicker succession than the Russian counterpart which boasts no catapult, but a ski jump. This limits the payload the aircraft can carry quite drastically.
Guys don't be surprised. The Yanks usually have the best weapons in all areas at this stage. Russia's playing a desperate game of catch up and it's unlikely it will for a long time.
The UK is planning to have aircraft carriers comparable or on par with the American aircraft carriers since currently, the aircraft carriers it boasts are pretty much amphibious assault ships to American standards.
