Well if the hold is stocked with vodka, I suppose you could call it qualified......

The hold is stocked with fresh seawater that constantly gets renewed by something the russian navy calls "uboat peep holes" (we just call em holes). The vodka is stored in the missile siloes were they get extra ompf from the remnants of the leaky missiles they used to afford to have there.

Kinda silly really, as if those bombers would have the slightest chance of even getting close to any target.

Well thats the thing.. they dont have to get close at all ;)

The Raduga Kh-55 missile it can carry has a range of 3000km and can carry a nuclear or conventional warhead.

Last time it finally wasn't towed back to base, it returned on it's own power....

:(

A regiment of Tu-22M can probably do better then a Russian CV group. So it goes :(

Since 1852 Russian Navy didn't win a single battle...

It doesn't mean our sailors don't do their jobs. Battleship Slava, destroyer Novik/Yakov Sverdlov, Leading-Destroyer Tashkent, guard-vessel Tuman, auxillary cruiser Semen Dezhnev  - they all did their duty. I name some vessels from the last 100 years.

Actually, the F-15 was designed to counter the Mig-25 and a lot of it’s basic design were copied from the Mig-25… only vastly improved on. As the Mig-25 was perceived as a major threat to the US at the time, that is until one defected and the US got to rip it apart.

I think Boroda is right on this one.

If I remember correctly, it was the other way around. The mig 25 was made to counter the F-15... but I do not know modern jets, so dont take my word for it.

The Mig-25 is a huge go fast pig..not a fighter.  It does interceptions well...
against fighters..probably not so well.  It was meant to counter the XB-70,
which was cancelled after we figured out russian SAMS could go fast and
high enough to splash them.
