Key Point: The U.S. Navy sees its glass as half-empty. But to Russian observers, the American navy’s cup runneth over.
Russia’s Navy is falling behind the U.S. Navy in combat power, according to Russian defense press.
The Russian Navy’s combat capability was just 45 percent of the U.S. Navy’s according to an analysis by flot.com, a Russian defense Web site [English translation here]. This is down from 47 percent in 2017 and 52 percent in 2014.
