I'd put money on the Kuznetsov breaking down long before reaching the Syrian coast.

I wouldn't take that bet.   :buck2:

I'm surprised they didn't include tugs in the escort.

They did.  http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-37725327

Do the Russians have solid anti-ship missile capability?

They've made it an art form. They only way they could try to stay competitive with our carrier battlegroups.  Hell,  they gave their own carriers ASMs.

Still,  they're not likely to get anything past a Burke or Tico.

I'm still reeling from the fact that they have a battle cruiser in 2016.

It'd be interesting if the Russians took the English Channel route.  Being escorted by British and French ships and aircraft.
They did take the channel route.

Wow.  I'm kind of surprised.  Were there a lot of sight seers out to watch.

Its probably to dangerous to take it into deeper oceans.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Makes recovery easier if they keep it littoral areas.

There may be some Russian 'refugees' who jump ship.

I'm surprised the Russians took the change of there not being Syrian refugees in France willing to use boats to suicide into their ships while going through the channel.

Our Burke's an Tico's were designed specifically to deal with 100+ Backfire raids.  This little squadron of rusting russian bullshit is hardly worth mentioning as far as offensive combat capability is concerned.
