Russia has the biggest navy in the world, in terms of naval units, according to the Global Firepower Index. Its submarine (65) and corvette (83) fleets are also the largest in the world. In addition to this, the country also boasts a sizable number of destroyers and frigates. Russia lacks strength, however, when it comes to aircraft carriers. Its only carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov, was launched in 1985 and has largely been a rusty ship. It has been out of service, undergoing repair and maintenance since 2018.
