Yea, they have the potential to slowly gear back up, but even if every ship they still have commissioned was ready to go, they would still be only maybe 1/4 the size of the US and with older ships/tech. Not to mention crews lacking training experience.


Russia just doesn't have the money it needs to play on the world stage with it's military. They are a regional power that happens to have lots of nukes. Their only real threat is all out nuclear war but in that case everyone is fucked anyway..
