They have 4 SSBN & 4 SSN on order - these are delivered spasmodically and spend a long time working up
They are spread across the Atlantic and the Pacific navies
Hardly a vast fleet knocking on the door TBH
A few nations aren't Russian centric. They have the economy of Italy. What they do have is the corrupt practice with western corps and politicians. That magnifies their power.. Trump isn't the only one they own.
