They, like the rest of the world, lack far behind the United States in naval capabilities. If you think the Russian military shouldn't be respected because of this you are mistaken. They have extremely capable missile technology, a very capable air force, and a very large and organized army. Maintaining a state of the art Navy is expensive and difficult and Russia has had great difficulty with this since the collapse of the USSR. Most nations don't even try.
