What of the other things he said? It's not ok for Russians to use iPhones or western gadgets but it's ok for Europeans and Americans to use Russian oils and other resources? What do you have to say about this hypocrisy sir?

I didn't comment on that cos there's no point. Those who are transacting know what they are doing

Masterviolence:

Nairaland will never cease to amuse me.

Let's go down a bit.
You're an individual on a faceless forum called nairaland, with the moniker Tiopii.
I can easily tell you're not the best at what you do nor studied in school in the community you're from.
That simple means you're not the most significant figure in your community, nor local government, nor state, nor in your country Nigeria. But you called a Russian project insignificant.

The same country that lunched the first space rocket into space.
The first country to put a satellite in space.
The first country to put a human in space.
The first country to put an animal in space.
The country that built the largest submarine in the world.

The country that produces the most engineers in the world.
In case you've forgotten, Russia brought about the following.
• The periodic table
• Bycicyles
• Solved the Poincare Conjecture, a major contribution to mathematics
• Created the equations that were used to calculate radar cross sections which gave birth to stealth technology.
•They invented the screw drive elevator, which helped produce the modern passenger elevator.
• Electric Rocket Motor
• LED
•Lunokhod 1- first space rover on Moon
• Radio receiver
•AC Transformer
•First Artificial Heart
Do you want me to continue?
You're not even a significant entity neither is your country to the world, but you're fast to claim a battery powered submarine is insignificant.

Mind you, Russia is the most innovative country in the world when it comes to military technology.

Battery powered submarine is not insignificant.

I said what I said and the post I quoted would have given you some context if you're half as smart.

A battery powered submarine in the era we are in is insignificant not useless, but you're too dumb and sentimental to think objectively.

For clarification
The same country that lunched the first space rocket into space.
The first country to put a satellite in space.
The first country to put a human in space.
The first country to put an animal in space.
The country that built the largest submarine in the world. *(The Soviet Union not Russia)*

The periodic table - Russian
• Bycicyles - Not Russian
• Solved the Poincare Conjecture, a major contribution to mathematics - Russian, with inputs from America
• Created the equations that were used to calculate radar cross sections which gave birth to stealth technology - I'm seeing British engineers.
•They invented the screw drive elevator, which helped produce the modern passenger elevator - Russian
• Electric Rocket Motor - Russians
• LED - Russian
•Lunokhod 1- first space rover on Moon
• Radio receiver
•AC Transformer - three physicists from Austria-Hungary
•First Artificial Heart (I don't understand what you mean here)

Kudos to Russia on their technological contribution to the World.

⚡The EU will include a ban on gas supplies in the 14th package of sanctions against the Russian Federation

This was stated by Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström. The new package of sanctions, as stated by the head of European diplomacy Borrell, is aimed at those who circumvent the existing measures.

At the end of February, France became the leader in LNG purchases from Russia. Macron said that he does not see any contradictions in this - Russian LNG is purchased all over the world.

In addition to France, gas is purchased by Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, Finland, Germany, Denmark and the same Sweden.

⚡Israel abandoned plans for a much more extensive counterstrike on Iran after concerted diplomatic pressure from the United States and other foreign allies, NYT reports.

Israeli leaders originally discussed bombarding several military targets across Iran last week, including near Tehran.

Instead of sending fighter jets into Iranian airspace, Israel fired a small number of missiles from aircraft positioned several hundred miles west of it.

Israel also sent small attack drones, known as quadcopters, to confuse Iranian air defenses.

⚡US and Philippines kick-off large scale exercise amid growing Asia-Pacific tensions

Balikatan, an annual joint drill between US and the Philippines, has rung the alarm from China. What’s different about it this year?

This year’s exercise will be the largest yet, with 17,000 troops from US, the Philippines, Australia, and France. The participants will simulate sinking an enemy warship and capturing islands in areas facing Taiwan and the South China Sea.

Notably, they will conduct their first ever exercise beyond Philippine territorial waters into contested waters. Additionally, the Philippine Army will train in the use of medium-range missiles, deployed for the first time to Asia Pacific by the US just last week.

⚡Three German citizens have been detained by the country's authorities on suspicion of spying for China.

The allegations: Agents gathered information in Germany on innovative technologies that could be used for military purposes.

A study was to be prepared for a Chinese contract partner.

When they speak democracy, they do not mean government by the people, they mean financial democracy, in which money counts and nothing but money.

Nuclear powered subs are noisy. They are big and there is a limit to where the can operate. They typically operate in deeper waters and cannot be close to shores.

Their alternative are diesel-electric submarines. They are smaller, quieter, and can operate close to shores.

Diesel-electric subs use electric underwater but need to come to the surface to use the diesel engine to recharge their batteries. They'll also need fresh air.

This makes them easy targets for enemy aircraft. In fact, this was how the Allies destroyed most German submarines during WWII. They wait for them to surface and take them out.

So, in all, nuclear and diesel electric subs complement themselves.

Not cost... battery-powered subs are good and not insignificant like someone here claims, they are far quieter than nuclear-powered subs and very hard to detect when under water...plus they can operate in shallow water.
