    How many copies are broken about a British aircraft carrier and he has no catapults, and the planes are bad, and he is not nuclear.
    Just like Chinese aircraft carriers.

    But we praise China, but Britain is not, is not supposed.

      This is because over the past 70 years, the British fleet has been degrading relative to other fleets in the world, and the Chinese are progressing. Even 3-4 decades ago, the Chinese were poor, miserable and despised. And Britain still relatively recently, by historical standards, had a fleet superior to all other fleets of the world combined. Perhaps the British after some time will become poor, miserable and despised, will become the object of robbery of other nations. And maybe China chop off England, for example, Portsmouth, as they once chopped off Hong Kong.

        the British fleet is degrading

        Reducing the number of pennants, this is not degradation.
        Degradation is when the Saxons would build an aircraft carrier from the performance characteristics of the war.
        The Chinese, for all their "progress", will not be able to produce turbines comparable in their characteristics to Rolls-Royce turbines.

          I am talking about dynamics and trends, not about the current moment. The speed of development of the Chinese fleet is great. It is possible that in a couple of months or years their turbines will be no worse. It sounds like science fiction, but Chinese 2-3 decades are fiction.
          A decrease in the number of pennants means degradation, because if in the 19th century the British fleet could dominate in any water area, now the place of indisputable dominance of the British fleet is only the Irish Sea. Can Britain defeat the Chinese fleet in the Pacific or Indian Ocean? Of course not. And this is an indicator of the trend. Even 20-30 years ago, I could. After 10 years, the British fleet will not be able to confront the Chinese fleet and the Atlantic alone. Britain will need NATO help. And this is the degradation of the British fleet.

            = Degradation, regression - the process of deterioration of the characteristics of an object or phenomenon over time, the gradual deterioration, decline, decline in quality, the destruction of matter due to external influences according to the laws of nature and time. =
            Did the Russian fleet also degrade? After all, he does not have as many pennants as the Navy of the USSR? Despite the fact that the Navy of the Russian Federation appeared patrolmen (frigates) with better characteristics than the Soviet? And the submarines, which were not in the Soviet Navy? Do you think this is degradation?

          In terms of money, the British probably had a real loss in building an empire.

          But in terms of the spread of their people, their genes and culture, the British have gigantic profits. After all, now the English-speaking Europeans of the USA, Britain, Canada, Australia, South Africa and some other small countries, taken together - this is actually the second largest nation in the world after the Chinese (even if these Europeans were once not only English, but also Germans, French, Italians and others.).

            Only theoretically
            Even if the ka-31 appears there really, like a helicopter AWACS and even for the detection of air objects, it does not fit well.
            The patrol time is 2.5 hours, the British have 2 times more.
            A large antenna ka31 creates problems of operation in the wind.
            The detection range of the Ka-31 aircraft is 100-150 km.

    The Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier was officially included in the British fleet in December 2017. Start of construction - 2009. Its total displacement is 70,6 thousand tons,

    They built it for 8 years, a decent displacement, only no catapults. I’m trying it on my country all the time. Why the British can, and we can’t. Great Britain is a small country with complexes of greatness, without resources and a future. But they can take and lay down 2 aircraft carriers of decent displacement. Let it be with minuses, not atomic, but they are already in operation. And we cannot really contain one old one. The sailors will begin to minus me now. But this is true.

                      If Alaska was part of Russia, it would be poor. It would be the location of military infrastructure aimed at the United States. But the imbalance between US military pressure on Russia and Russian military pressure on the US would not be so depressingly bad as it is now.

                      And if the Central Russian Upland and the Volga region were under the Germans, then these regions would also have lived better. Only the Russians would not be there. Therefore, let the earth be poorer, but under Russia, and not under the enemy.

                      The importance of the territories is not overestimated, but also not underestimated. After all, the United States does not plan to return Russia to Alaska, demanding back 7,2 million dollars. So Alaska USA like it.

                      Alaska would shut up the passage from the Pacific to the Arctic Ocean for the United States. It would provide 1 million bar. oil per day. 1,5 billion dollars worth of gold was pumped out of Alaska. USA at the beginning of the 20th century. Maybe this money would be enough to mitigate the situation in Russia by 1917 and to prevent the Bolshevik revolution.

                        Simple question ..... We left behind the conditional Alaska, Hong Kong, South Korea or Japan. All these countries were subjected to the occupation of the conditional West. from 40 to 100 years of conditional "occupation". After us there was the GDR, and after the conditional USA - the FRG, after us there was the DPRK, and after the conditional USA - South Korea.

                        I agree with you that the result of the occupation of territories by Russia is much worse than the same occupation by Western countries. But this is the result of the rule in Russia of the anti-people, anti-Russian Bolshevik-Jewish regime. This regime has had considerable successes and achievements. But the negative from him was much greater. And we still reap this negative in our own skin.

                        Nevertheless, the fact that Russia is a more backward state, and the Russian people are poorer than the peoples of the West, is not a reason for first throwing mud at themselves, and then shooting themselves, or giving away their lands under the control of others. Indeed, if you are personally poorer than someone, then you will not begin to harm yourself for this reason.

                        Their own backwardness should be an incentive to get rid of it. And own superiority is an incentive to work to preserve and consolidate superiority.

                    The British deliberately did not develop any of their colonies. They only robbed them more or less thoroughly. Colonies developed on their own. If the British themselves came to the colony and made up the majority of the population or a substantial part of it, then the colony became rich, like the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Where the British were a minority, such colonies did not develop (except for Hong Kong and Singapore).

The main Western institution that instilled culture over the centuries was the church, which was separated from the state. Attitude to work, rigidity of the code of ethics, attitude to progress, it's all from there. For centuries, it has been vaccinated. Che that as soon as the British left Angola, they immediately stopped harvesting 3 times a year .... and the war for 40 years. The same thing is happening in South Africa ..... well, yes, Mandella and all that. But to control how the British need experience living with them, as in the Dominican Republic. About 100-150 years or Hong Kong. or Korea. There are countries that accept a different culture as higher, and there are countries with a toxic culture that cannot tolerate interference.

                  You are apparently not a very educated person.

                  The British never owned Angola. The Portuguese owned Angola. And in a previous post you wrote that the British defeated the Russian fleet near Tsushima. After such messages, the corresponding idea of ​​the author of the messages is formed.

                  Institutions not from the moon fall on the people. Institutions are formed by the people themselves in the course of development.

                  And the Christian church, as an institution, at some stage could give the people development advantages. But now it’s a brake. The most religious societies are the most backward. For example, the Dominican Republic you mentioned. Or the neighboring, even more religious country of Haiti. In both Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the church institute is very strong.

                    "English fleet at Tsushima" - meaning ships of English construction. As for Angola, the "conditional West" does not matter whether it is the Portuguese in Angola, or Austria in Western Ukraine, or the United States in Japan and South Korea. If the culture of the people perceives progress, in the end everything works out.
                    "the most religious societies are the most backward"? What are you talking about? The USA is one of the most religious countries. The collection of the black Baptist church alone is about 13 billion a year. Basques in Chile are the strongest Catholics. The entire developed world is usually Protestant countries. Haiti is Voodoo, fatalism in its purest form. The Dominican Republic, which gained independence in the 40-50s, gained experience of government under the British for a long time and the difference in development between Haiti is colossal. South Korea is a prime example of transformation through a Protestant church, 26-30% Methodist ... and the world's largest Protestant church by 100k.

                      You are definitely either very young or ignorant. Educate yourself. "The English fleet at Tsushima" - it was necessary to immediately write about the construction, and not about how the British defeated the Russians. And then you have a third puncture - the Dominican Republic has never been under the British.

                      You mentioned Spain as opposed to England. And now for you that Portugal, a sister of Spain, has become the same as England. You are not consistent.

                      All religions are varieties of the "cargo cult". In the sense that if you believe in some kind of garbage, then you will be "nishtyak" in the next world for it. And unbelievers in the next world will be "khana".

                      The level of religiosity in the United States is high compared to Europe, but not compared to the Middle East. And then the level of religiosity in the USA is just a classification of oneself as a religion, but in fact people do not believe in the texts of religious books, or do not know their content. Well, what kind of person is not asleep, he will believe that God made the world in 6 days, that the world is a little over 6 thousand years old, that a woman was made of a man’s rib. The ancient Koreans had the opinion that a man appeared after being remade a bear.

                      In addition, the most backward sections of the population are religious in the United States, human debris, which is currently causing riots. Better get acquainted with what is the level of religiosity of scientists in the United States.

                      As for Europe, including Spain, people who consider themselves Christians do not pray every day, they don’t go to church every month. These are pseudo-Christians who accept the evolutionary theory of the origin of species, accept the theory of the origin of the Universe not 6 thousand years ago, but 14 billion years ago, they believe that there were dinosaurs and monkey-like ancestors of man.

                      That is, the religiosity of the European is just following the traditions. For example, I am an atheist, but I celebrate January 1 - New Year. But from this I do not turn into an adherent of the ancient Roman religion and its god Janus (since January 1 is an ancient Roman religious holiday). Only a small percentage of Europeans, from among the backward and stupid, believe in God.

                      You are mistaken in the fact that the breakthrough in Europe is due to the Christian church. Quite the contrary, when the Christian church weakened in the 15th and 16th centuries, then the breakthrough of Europe began. But the institutional separation of the Christian church from the state began with the French Revolution and basically ended by the beginning of the 20th century.

                      So I gave you a short lecture. But you better learn yourself.

                        "all religions are varieties of a cargo cult" - we see this now especially strongly, especially comparing Protestant countries with some kind of Haiti, where Voodoo dominates, or with the countries of the Spanish-Iberian culture, such as Mexico or with the countries of the Middle East, such as Syria, Egypt, etc.
                        "the religiosity of a European - following the traditions" - all that we see now in Sweden, for example, is the entire heritage of Protestant culture. The rigidity of the moral code has not gone anywhere, the attitude towards life and progress, this is all the heritage of Protestant culture. And the battle for souls has not disappeared anywhere ... it is in full swing between Catholics and Protestants for Brazil, which in the next 2 generations may turn into a Protestant country, the battle is going on in Southeast Asia. Who has the greatest losses in the flock now? Will we guess?
                        "The Christian Church weakened in the 15-16th century"? What textbooks do trolls use to learn history? You see ... they had competition. When the Catholic Church, which remains the most powerful until now, weakened, Luther appeared and the conditional West received an incredible impetus. The Protestant religion under the conditions of 20 century gave .... adaptation to life in the city (facilitating urbanization), language (English), medical support, etc. Unexpectedly so .... in South Korea there were about 30% of Protestants. Why? Cargo cult? No, of course, facilitating urbanization. People moved from the villages to the city, and the Protestant religion helped them in this.

Why does Brazil take him over - just like two and two .... husband thumps, fucks on the side, does not wear a salary at home, in general, behaves like a "macho". Brazilian women convert their husbands .... and religion makes them follow basic rules. It is better for trolls to know that the push begins not with revolutions, but immensely with the rules ... such as working according to the method (Calvinists, Methodists - have you heard about the attitude to the labor code?), Compliance with the rules, etc. That is why - we have a hammer - "pluck out your eyes", and the Americans have "Stiletto" and "Martinez" and that is why we cannot have the 5th generation of the F-35 type, because the question of "service culture" will arise. or we can have them in the number of links - while the conditional West will have> 1000 of them, and everything goes to this.

The rampant exploitation of the Indian colonies was the most important source of accumulation of British capital and the industrial revolution in England

Gold is not the point, that is, it is not a source of strength. Strength in culture. The world domination of Britain ended in 1905, exactly 100 years after Trafalgar, It finally faded away by 1943, when, according to Churchill, the growth of US GDP during this period put all points over I. Is the culture changing for the better? What can make you work according to the method? What can make you live for centuries to work, and not work to live? What makes you treat progress sanely? What makes you treat human life as the highest value? What makes you stick to the rules - the rigidity of the moral code? This is what is the source of true wealth. The Yankees emerged victorious, not the future rednecks who landed in the Louisiana area and in the South. Although, the lands of the South were much richer. Is the British fleet degrading? Where did you get such nonsense? The British Navy EMNIP has always let us grow up. In the form of Tsushima, for example. And our Brita fleet has never in history been considered as a competitor, that is, the golden rule - Her Majesty's fleet should be equal to the sum of the 2 next largest fleets in Europe.

By the beginning of the 1st MV, the British fleet was simply the first in the world. And at the end of the 2nd MV, the British fleet became the second in the world. At the end of the 20th century, the British fleet moved to 3rd place in the world. At the beginning of the 21st century, the British fleet is the 5th in the world. In this regard, the British fleet is degrading. In the sense that other fleets are pushing it lower and lower.

                  About Tsushima - did you collapse from the oak? The Russian fleet lost to the Japanese, not the British.

                  And in Britain, the fleet also rotted from the pier from time to time.

                  So, the fleet was built by Richard the Lionheart. But after the 3rd Crusade, this fleet decayed.
                  Edward 3rd also built a fleet against France in the Hundred Years War. And this fleet has rotted. Henry 4th also built a fleet. But by the time of the Great Armada, Elizabeth the 2nd had to rebuild the fleet. And then the British rebuilt the fleet from scratch during the time of William of Orange. And even the Bank of England for this they have established.
                  And about the Russian fleet, you idle talk. At the end of the 20th century, the USSR possessed the 2nd fleet in the world. Surely several times stronger than the British. And now the aggregate fleet of Russia is stronger than the British.

                  The fact that culture is of great importance for the strength of the state - I agree. But only culture is a changeable concept. After all, culture did not fall from the moon. Culture is a product of the activities of the people.

                  Once Iraq was the owner of a rich culture, but now it is an untenable uncultured state and the lair of Hell. The world is full of similar examples. I really hope that England, too, will turn into a likeness of Iraq. And that Russia will be reborn as a rich cultural state, ruling other nations.

                    At the beginning of the 19th century, the British fleet was not stronger than all the fleets of the world, there was approximate parity across Europe. See Trafalgar, that is, approximate parity between Britain on the one hand and France + Spain on the other.
                    As for "collapsed from the oak" .... do not tell me whose buildings were the Japanese ships?
                    About "the English fleet was also rotting at the dock" ... where does this nonsense come from? The rotting fleet was in Europe in Russia and Turkey. Almost all pennants, but what are there pennants, the entire Peter's fleet perished. So I rotted for the same reason why we have vodka and not whiskey, that is, not aged wood, and the shipyards were far away, which is why we had to drag along the shallows.
                    "culture is a product of the people's activity" Is this chito? Culture is an inherited skill, a habit. The shortest definition. Cultural differences are attitudes towards progress, the rigidity of the moral code, attitudes towards work, attitudes towards women, attitudes towards money, etc. ... there are about 21 markers in total. So, Iraq may have had a "richest culture", but due to objective reasons it ceased to be competitive, and England, in addition to being the largest empire in history, gave the richest offspring.

                      The habit did not fall from the moon, but developed over the years and generations. And this habit is being lost. Lost and acquired and culture and all its markers. Including due to objective reasons. England, too, will lose its culture, however, as well as other nations for the reason that everything is temporary. You yourself noted that England was someone, but only now it is different. Persia was also someone under the Achaemenids, and now in the ass. Where I want to go to England as soon as possible.

                      The Russian fleet also rotted. But the article is about the English fleet. And you are not familiar with the history of England. Her fleet rotted many times. Teach the materiel before entering into a discussion from the depths of your ignorance.

                        Of course, the "habit" has not fallen from the moon, but has been inoculated for centuries. The Church as an institution instills this habit, namely the Protestant culture. Accumulation, working according to the method, attitude to life, all of this comes from there.
                        "rotted too"? Yes, the British never considered the Russian fleet as a competitor from the word in general, even though in quantity he violated the rule "Her Majesty's fleet must be equal to the sum of 2 subsequent fleets of other countries." The problem is not only poor quality, the problem was, and it has been almost throughout history, in the supply. At one time, Catherine abandoned the islands in the Atlantic, as a negotiating position, for this very reason. And in Great Britain, the post of head of the Admiralty was second in importance after the post of head of the Treasury.
                        "will lose its culture" - yes, as it were, a charter of liberties for 1000 years already, the largest empire in history -100 years, and as if peacefully released everyone. They left behind a rich legacy, prosperous countries and cities that adopted their culture.

        Moreover, Russia will have to build a strong army because the international situation will push it - Russia will inevitably be subjected to a massive military attack and military-political, cultural and national defeat if it does not have adequate adequate armed forces.

    a decision was made on the readiness to fulfill the first operational mission of the British ACG. Deployment is scheduled for next year, it is planned to send an aircraft carrier with escort to the Mediterranean Sea, the Persian Gulf and the Far East.

    And what are the operational goals of the British ACG to support the shaken US influence? Maybe they want to prove that destroyers like Daring do not boil because of warm water overboard .........
    The latest British Type 45 destroyers, also known as Daring type destroyers, can fail in warm waters - making it dangerous to send them to strategic areas like the Persian Gulf, the Daily Mail writes. According to the publication, the vulnerability of the most modern warships of the country caused an angry reaction of deputies and the former commander of the British Navy at recent parliamentary hearings.
    As the newspaper clarifies, the problem is related to the cooling units of gas turbines, which are included in the integrated electric propulsion system of destroyers type 45. "Design defect", explains the publication, can lead to the ship being completely de-energized.

          the British would not consider the French Rafal in principle, they do not have their own deck, so either Super Hornets or Lightnings remain. They relied on a promising fighter - in addition, they are participants in the program for its creation. But, since the F-35C is not communicated and not accepted by the fleet, they are satisfied with the F-35B vertical lines - therefore there are no catapults and finishers on the aircraft carrier

          But, as I think, and based on the huge reserves in terms of volume and mass, with modernization, both of them can be established. The queen, too, is heavily underused for defensive weapons - only three Phalanxes, although places for air defense systems are reserved
