Stellar I have a question:
IMHO the time for decisive nuclear victory is past. I doubt anyone can win a nuclear war and survive the global backlash.
Nuclear war is not of dreams I agree, but I don't think Russia is at that stage where it will initiate nuclear holocaust at the drop of a hat.
Engagements in today's are tactical, swift and decisive. The question is whether the Russian navy is capable of the same in today's world.

That said Russia is revising its naval doctrine and is planning to create 6 AC groups (actual ACs this time and all the new support ships to compose the groups) until 2050 and that shall be the new lay out of our navy. Russian navy today has a lot more funding then in the 90s and it is quickly (along with the rest of the military) recovering. But even now RN does not pose much of a threat in the unlikely event that US will not be backing it.

If you want to compare military strength you should check out this site. It has current CIA figures on the major nations military strength that you can compare everybody.
WARFARE AND THE GLOBE
That site is TOTTALY inacurate, they don't even show the numbers like Global Security and other sites, for example they list the U.S. as having more SAMs, but almost every other sites states Russia has the most in the world.

Sorry to burst the bubble, but our economy has been in recession for over a year now. What we might be headed to here is a depression. But it won’t last that long because warfare, and lower gas prices, will bring us right out of it.

I have been looking for this for a long time. Please tell me where I can read more of how the U.S. pinged all Soviet subs. I believe it was Regan proving it to Gorby. I remember reading about it years ago.

They could probably take on the Argentinean navy and should win. The UK fleet of 90 ships would defeat them in surface action. The US Navy is the big boy.
Russia has quite a few old ships. 2 problems, they are old ships and they don't have the money for proper upkeep on them. You see the ships tied to piers in harbor. This doesn't make them seaworthy, it just means they haven't sank in harbor, yet.
Great article on Russia's navy and top personnel.
