As for keeping track of the carrier groups, the USSR did have RORSATs that could do that, but it's a question of how quickly the Americans would use ASAT and take them out.

ASAT has always been a issue, up until a few years ago it was relatively basic and had a lot of stop and go development. Including a gap in US development between 1989 and 2006 I think. And in the 80's only one real successful intercept. Not really a issue I am thinking.
Not sure on Russian or Chinese development.
