China is ahead or Russia in regards to Navy. Russians have better SSN/SSBN submarines such as Borei and Yasen-class. However, everything else, China is better. China has a good number of stealth destroyers, frigates and Corvettes/missile boats. In addition to all this, China has a lot more SSK submarines.
On paper, Russia has more SSN/SSBN submarines, but all of them are from 1970s and 1980s. Russian Kilo-class SSK submarines are not even upgraded, but standard. There is no Lada-class sub in the horizont yet.
I hope of course that Russia will be able to produce more stealth ships, since Russia and China are strategic friends and partners, but a lot of job is needed to fix this.
So in regards to the Navy, besides excellent subs such as Borei and Yasen-class, there is nothing else Russia has an edge in, in regards to the Navy.
We also have to take into the account, how many of those old ships would actually be combat ready. After 20 years of neglect, it's hard, so it's better to build new ships, so I hope Russia will be able to do so.
The same goes for Russian Air Force. China has a lot more 4+ gen fighters combat ready and upgraded compared to Russia. Once again, I hope Russia will be able to fix this, because it's in Chinese interest to also have strong Russian friend and partner.
如果靠水面舰艇就能成为世界强国,美国人苏联人造那么多核潜干什么?正视差距,努力追赶超越。以现在的军事实力,即便是常规战,辽宁号编队如何在对方核潜群面前存活?
用常规潜艇和核潜比战斗力,你这不是搞笑吗,中国至今未能追赶上苏联在80年代的造潜水平,升不升级有何关系?
