thing is, you don't need carriers if you have no interest in policing the world.
and when it comes to defense russia has little to fear from a naval threat.
You can almost hear the Benny hill music
The first sentence of this video is positively epic.
Russia is like that classic cartoon scene of 3 kids in a trench coat.
Do we have any of the things we need to have an aircraft carrier? No. Okay let's just call it the Soviet Union and that well explain everything. Russia the dollar store of world powers.
Reminds me of a bad 🏈 team that has a punter as MVP. Russia's MVP of navy is a tugboat. 😳
Let's all admit, this ship is beautiful the only thing that keep it holding it back was corruption.
lol considering its age and quality it will soon join the Moskow heavy cruiser below the water. Maybe in typical Pootin responce the New Moscow has joined the submarien fleet. Slava Ukrani
It’d be an anchor around Ukraine’s neck if they had gotten it. Maybe the us would have bought it just to scrap it?
"She does not identify as an aircraft carrier" – Good, because I don't know what the woke pronoun to use if she did.
If not having an aircraft carrier is not an option it sure seems they did everything to make sure they didn’t have one!
Who cares if it´s not functional.. Look how big it is! 😆
"instagram, but for dummies"
ouch! the shade!
Russia is just a zombie of the USSR. They are just an animated rotting corpse going through the motions of their once living selves.
The only thing thriving within it's corpse are the parasites that are devouring it from within.
this is hilarious.
The refit will never be complete. Russian economy will totally collapse before then.
The floating fuck of no name because too many name. Better name than all that other nonsense.
Soviet Union builds remind me of kids with runaway money. Just gigantic titans of mechanisms, but absolutely no way to sustain these mechanisms against time.
6:34 the guy lost his hat
What's a shitshow!
I cant stop watching this XD. Its hilarious. Somehow reminds me of these idiots in cars videos. Its just one stupid decision or non-decision after another
a real definition and look of a "Fallen Empire"
Lmao this makes me feel so much better bout Russias capabilities
Promotions in videos = 👎
00:24 didnt know they called it after the capital of latvia
I hear they even have tugboats in case their tugboats need to get towed.
Important capital ship 🚢⚓ OMG 😳 seriously? That is not an aircraft carrier first of all. It's an oversized cruiser, retrofitted very poorly at that to look like a carrier. A pleasant coming below says it all the most important shift and that fleet is the tugboat pulling that monstrosity.
Russia never fails to make me laugh
Makes me question if Russia even has a navy
In a sad way it feels like the most Soviet and Russian thing that incredibly expensive assets are maintained or treated with such little diligence that these immense investments collapse, sometimes burying humans in the rubble. Thinking of the facility that houses the amazing Buran, the collapsing stadium, and now this…
If Ukraine and Russia cooperated, this ship would have seen much more action even with the superstition.
And it would still be Ukrainian though.
You really understand how to cut through to Russia's ego… Mighty tugboat lol😂
I bet the Ukrainians would have managed to do a better job with it
Soviet technology is just great…. NOT
