Try living on a Russian armed forces pension (if such a thing exists), and you'll have your answer.

How many of those major units are actually seaworthy at any one time. Or capable of deploying fully trained and stored?
Applies equally to us. We have two aircraft carriers with no jets currently capable of deploying, due to having to regenerate following the showboating exercise to the Pacific last year that achieved what?
