The Pirates of the Caribbean track was a nice touch.

Two funny little notes from the movie:
1) I thought "Hmm, the soundtrack here sounds like it could be from a generic Jerry Bruckheimer movie", and then it went to songs that were unambiguously pirated from identifiable Jerry Bruckheimer movies. (I own the Pirates of the Carribean soundtrack. Sue me.) Man, you can't even get the multi-billion dollar weapons conglomerates to respect licensing anymore...
2) Amusingly, the good guys were red and the bad guys were blue. (This is the color convention in Russia and China. Historically, it is the opposite in the US.)

#7"Nobody's ever done that before."
Have they in fact done it? There's been a lot of saber-rattling from Russia while Putin's been in power that stinks of "please still consider us a military powerhouse". Bombers flying while they don't have the funds to keep their stockpile in working order, etc.
Let's see something more than CGI.

It wouldn't be much of cold war if both sides didn't have missile navigation systems.
Also China seems to be building their own:

#9Actually, our carriers have not been very safe since Russia started selling the SSN-22 Sunburn several years ago. The defense industry lobbyists do a really good job of marketing weapon systems that are not so relevant today. Too bad for the USA tax payer.
