Sounds like you're indirectly agreeing that Russian ships are not that sophisticated.

They are probably even less sophisticated than Turkish ships.

during the cold war the Soviet Union had more than twice the US navy's submarines. But their subs were loud and of poor quality. Meanwhile the US subs were quiet and stealthy. They track Soviet subs for days while from the Soviet subs perspective, it as if all US subs had vanished from the oceans.

Military naval might is measured by quality over quantity.

⚡Iran has now immediately sent another drone to monitor the USS Abraham Lincoln, after the US shot down the first one.

Icktioaxen:
you've already stated the use of an aircraft carrier here.

What did you think it was used for?

If it's useless why is China struggling to build one. And the one wey Russia get dey always escorted by a tow boat.

Air craft carriers are useless. Yet China has 3 carriers already in service the Liaoning (Type 001), Shandong (Type 002), and Fujian (Type 003), a fourth currently in construction while a fifth has been commissioned!!

China the largest Navy in the world is currently investing in aircraft carriers while our retired Admiral WriterNG, the renowned naval war strategist, is calling them outdated and useless!!.. well I guess he knows more than the Chinese war planners who are spending money on aircraft carriers😝

All this meltdown because Russia doesn't have one to call her own, Admiral Kuznetsov Russia's only functional carrier is now a museum site where visitors go and take pictures😝😝

Scorpio99:
I remember in 2022 when one of them dumb heads was here telling me aircraft carriers are just sitting ducks. The dumb even had the audacity to say a shahed drone would destroy an aircraft carrier 😭😭. I still stressed trying to tell the unfortunate fellow that an aircraft carrier is more or less a whole military base on water. Dude stuck to his misinformed medulla.

Icktioaxen:
But you earlier told me that aircraft carriers were useless, slow and easy targets. Why does china need "useless, slow, easy targets" to project power?

Holes don they appear in your propaganda.

When Russia struggled to build an aircraft carrier and was only able to build a crappy diesel carrier that breaks down alot. You dey compare them to a country that built eleven nuclear powered carriers.

dermmy:
So U.S. does not want Iran to monitor its movements in the area or what? Anyway I expect TACO to go on twitter to announce that his powerful navy just downed an Iranian surveillance drone and U.S navy is the only one who can do that in the world. TACO has won by downing a drone

EU Rejects Iran's Categorisation Of EU Armies As 'terrorist groups'

The European Union said it rejected Iran's decision to consider as "terrorist groups" the armies of EU countries after the EU listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the bloc's list of terrorist organisations.

"We reject the announcement of the listing of EU armies and the accusation of terrorism," said European Commission spokesperson Anouar El Anouni.

"Sophisticated Navy ships" like that moskva junk that Ukraine turned into scrap metal? 🤭

In the past 24 hours Russian reconnaissance drones have spotted HIMARS launchers in the Kharkov region.

Both of which were targeted by Iskander ballistic missiles. pic.twitter.com/2LtXB8S1IW
