a single sunburn or a hoard of onyx missiles from SSN Sverodvinsk can take out a group or two, imagine what oscar-2 can do to your fleet

Then again, the fleet may not be in that good a condition.

... or perhaps this is all just political infighting.

even though their military size is increasing, they're quality is dirt poor. many military officials are even afraid that their vehicle will spontaneously explode due to its poor quality.

"In those places on board where the admirals actually go, everything's fine, but where they don't go, everything's in such a state it could go sky high at any minute... And by that I also mean the state of the nuclear reactor," he was quoted as saying.

"It is this attitude to the upkeep of their ships on the part of commanders that is leading to the collapse of the fleet."

Ha In your face Sector Gaza Just admit Russia is a backup quarterback or alternate All star game player. PS Your Avatar of that creepy fat kid is gone.

this is just political bs to get more funding.. if its about to explode why are they returning it to a populated city instead of just repairing it there.

hahahaha - it's true! It's like Jordan playing for the wizards - yeah he could put up 20 in a game, but he was no longer an elite player.

PS - Russia would be quite bad ass if they could actually upkeep their stuff.

things are getting better now.. all the bad is behind.
