Overrated Russian military! They can only threaten with nuclear weapons. See how the Turkish drones (Bayraktar) are dealing with Russian military in Ukraine.

❗’Moskva’ flagship cruiser sinks while being towed to port - MoD

“While being towed to the port destination, due to hull damage caused by ammunition detonation sparked by fire, the cruiser Moskva lost stability. In the stormy sea conditions, the ship sank,” the Russian Defense Ministry said Thursday evening.

The ‘Moskva’ was reportedly some 90 kilometers south of Odessa on Wednesday when a fire broke out on board.

The crew has been successfully evacuated, with no casualties reported.

So, is it Russia that has faced a country with sophisticated weapons?

Of the 3 arms of the Russian military, their Navy is the weakest. Most of their vessels are old Soviet era warships.

@Bolded.

Fair enough. you're right about their navy.

But tbf to Russia, their military doctrine is majorly defensive and not to project power. They have the military and technical expertise for a mordern navy, but they are not interested. The few warships they have are heavily concentrated for defense of their territorial waters in the Baltic sea and Black sea including their submarines.

So because of the military doctrine that doesn't project power, having multiple warships and Aircraft carriers will be useless. That is why they only have Missiles and fighter jet. All their military R& D is directed majorly toward making faster and deadlier missiles and fighter jets .

Honestly, The way Russia military is structured, they are not even a threat, as regards to world domination. I don't know why USA can't leave Russia's corner of the world(Eastern Europe) to them and stop threatening their security.

The country with the ambition of world domination is China, and strangely, Europe , USA and the likes are not even doing anything about China. The last president that tried to do something about it got shamed out of office. It seems the Chinese has bought the Democratic party.

China's Policies, both economic and Military points to that direction of world domination.

In the economic policies of china, they have the belt and road initiative, currency swap deal for Yuan with a lot of countries.

In their military, China bought an old Soviet Era Aircraft carrier from Russia, as well as old decommissioned Aircraft carriers from the British for studying, they reversed engineered it and built their own first Aircraft carrier. Now they are currently building 2 additional aircraft carriers simultaneously and could be ready in 5 years time. In the next 10 years, we could be having a Chinese military with at least 5 Aircraft carriers.

Now tell me what a country want to use that amount of Aircraft carriers to do, if not to project power, just like the USA presently does with its 11 carriers.

By the time the idiots at Washington wake up to the Chinese reality, it could be too late. But it's Russia who just want to be left alone at their own corner of the continent that they see as a threat.

Let them continue grin

Whenever the war ends that’s when the real deal will be revealed. Obviously Ukraine will bear more brunt.

Whenever Ukraine gets a cheap score you celebrate and berate Russian Army lol . But when Putin retaliate you call him a mad man and a blood sucker. After this war the truth will surely be revealed.

One life is worth more than this ship but it’s obvious western puppets value infrastructure more than human lives .

Now what are the loses off US and NATO
How much fund and weapons have the US AND NATO spent on the war? The US just announced another $800,000 equipment supply to Ukraine making it total of $3 billion dollars from US alone, the UK is spending close to $2 billion in weapons and aid. Poland has spent more than every other country. All S-300 missiles sent by Slovakia was destroyed by Russia. France, Germany and Italy have always supplied equipments and funds. Immediately information leaked that US and NATO forces are already in Ukraine fighting against Russia from day one, Zelensky started calling or international volunteers so that any NATO special forces captured will be taken as foreign volunteer. Ask yourself, the British Special forces earlier killed in Ukraine, was he there with arms to watch movie? What about the British Special forces captured and paraded yesterday by Russia?

Russia is invading Ukraine and requesting for part of their territories and you are blaming NATO...There is something fundamental wrong with ur brain.
I don't entertain such insults from kindergartens like you. Your brain is functional right?

With your idiotic functional brain, why do you think the US and it's NATO allies would advise against Russia owning a military base in Mexico and Venezuela?

With your useless dysfunctional irredeemable brain, why do you think US will not allow a Russian General lead a peace keeping mission under the United Nations Peace keeping forces covering all parts of member states?

With your stupid psychotic brain, why do you think a deadly cult like NATO would want Ukraine, a nation that shares same values like Russia to be admitted into NATO which gives them the right to build military bases anywhere in Ukraine including its borders with Russia and your irredeemable uneducated mind can't relate with the fact that it's a clear hostility to a former Soviet Federation?

I can go on but your brain is so dysfunctional that you may need a neurosurgeon to remove the rotten mucor inside. Spits!

There are only two ways a mighty king will fall from grace, lose his kingdom and his life as well.
Either by dying of old age or succumbing to terminal disease, be he an all conquering emperor or a lion in the jungle that no other beast dares.

First it was the age of the mighty naval battleships that met their waterloo in World war 2.... the great German 'Bismarck' and 'Tirpitz' and the mightiest of all, the infamous Japanese colossus, 'Yamato' and her sister 'Musashi', monsters that could pound cities into submission from tens of miles away but ultimately fell to the gnats of dive bombers, torpedo bombers and air mounted cannon fire. By the close of the war even the victorious allies knew their time was up and decommissioned their lots.

Today we are seeing the beginning of the end of the reign of several kings the theater in Ukraine is offering the world of conflict and the industry of armament. A theater that has not been seen since the Second World war for all the conflicts ever since whether America's in Vietnam, The USSR's in Afghanistan, Great Britain's in the Faklands or the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan had been conflicts of i
unequals where the lambs challenged the lions to wrestle.

The conflict in Ukraine is one of equals, where capabilities, technologies and resources are more evenly matched and this has exposed the great lions of armament and the great emperors of battlefield technologies as aging and dying of the pestilence of micro and nano technology, artificial intelligence, drones and robotics.

As observed from the first few weeks of this conflict, the first king to abdicate his throne is the mighty battle field tank. The sheer number of million dollar, hitherto 'feared' tanks, AFV's and troop carriers lost in this conflict to 'pocket' devices is just alarming. In those days a soldier in a tank felt safe and ruled the battlefield like a lion the jungle. These days a soldier is safer miles away from any tank..... any tank none of which offers any protection from even the crudest of shoulder launched anti-tank weapons that number in tens of thousands and can be bought literally off the shelf.

Little wonder even the famed US Marine Corps is gradually retiring its tanks even though over 95 percent of the famed M1A1/A2's are still alive and kicking being hyped as indestructible. Wiser heads know better. The king is dying.

Second are the monstrous hulks roaming the high seas, the whales and sharks of the naval superpowers. This week has shown that even cruisers (which are supposed to be the kings of sea self defence can be tackled by a swarm of ebola like drones and taken out bya right hook from behind....

I am sure the United States, the UK, China and France to a lesser degree is watching very. very keenly and wondering if their mighty aircraft carriers they spend tens of billions building and equipping are worth anything when up against not Gaddafi's, Saddam's or Al-Assad's military but one that can actually shoot back....

The king is dead.

Russia's flagship had been operated in the Black Sea since the start of the war and is believed to have taken part in strikes on the coast of Ukraine.

And she famously was told to go "f*** yourself" before opening fire on defenders holding out on Snake Island.

I love Ukraninas, they said it verbally a few weeks ago, now they said the same thing with their own manufactured Neptune Missiles.

Now they don't have to worry about that Putin's piece of shitt harassing them, it's at the bottom of the Baltic Sea for good..

A few thousand dollars Neptune missiles destroyed a $750 million ship, the pride pf Russia.

The comedian is showing the dumb, idiotic, incompetent and overrated megalomania in Moscow how to fight a war..

The funny irony per this ship now buried under the Baltic Sea is the fact that it was actually built in Ukraine by Ukrainians under the old and decayed Soviet Union.

It wasn't built by Putin or Russia.

Ukrainian workforce, manpower and skill was responsible for the superpower status of the old Soviet Union, this is why putin is desperately trying to subjugate Ukraine all over again, but it won't work because Ukrainians suffered and were slaves under the Soviet Union, many Ukrainians perished in society union gulags.
