Taking both into account, but ignoring the importance of aircraft carriers in seizing air supremacy, a lot of time and money was wasted in this process! More importantly, this unclear positioning of the aircraft carrier caused the Soviet Union to constantly distort the aircraft carrier technology tree. The Soviet Union's positioning of aircraft carriers ranges from anti-submarine to anti-ship, and then to both. Within the Soviet Navy, there is always a force hindering the development of aircraft carriers. However, Khrushchev's resignation did not make the road to the Soviet aircraft carrier go smoothly. So the Soviets were delayed in the construction of the aircraft carrier until Khrushchev stepped down. However, Stalin's death and Khrushchev's succession made the Soviet aircraft carrier's road bumpy, because Khrushchev was paranoid about missiles and nuclear weapons, and his naval development route was to develop strategic missile and nuclear submarines.

In the early days of the end of World War II, Stalin and Soviet Navy Marshal Kuznetsov had made plans to develop aircraft carriers. The Soviets took great effort to drag the Zeppelin aircraft carrier back to the Soviet Union, and conducted detailed research and dismantling of it. The Germans hurriedly scuttled it due to the defeat. After taking Berlin, the Soviets heard that Germany had an unfinished aircraft carrier "Zeppelin". Before the outbreak of World War II, the Soviet Union had plans to design and build aircraft carriers, but the outbreak of World War II put the plan on hold. The Soviet Union's aircraft carrier construction concept and start is not too late. But in naval construction, especially in aircraft carrier construction, it lags far behind the United States.

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union was on par with the United States militarily, and even appeared aggressive for certain periods of time.
