Let's talk about Russia's military

[Theben]

All I know is that the Russkie unmanned drones sucked balls so badly in the Georgian campaign they're buying Israeli ones to reverse-engineer.

Why doesn't Russia have carriers? Is it just too complicated given the average state of drunkenness of Russian engineers?

We don't? Then who the hell visited mediterranian recently?
And we have a massive aircraft carrier building programm underway.

You mean the same as Georgian Israeli-made UAVs they complained all the way that Russians shoot them down at regular basis?

Based in the Port of Moscow?

[self biased]

and didn't china buy a carrier from y'all a few years ago?

[Asher]

Sukhoi Su-35
Sukhoi Su-34
Tupolev Tu-160 (a strategic bomber), Tu-22M as long-range bamber.
What sub exactly? Anyway, Typhoon (Akula) class and Dolgorukiy (Borei class).
Again what ship exactly? Let in be the world's largest non-aircraft carrier ship - Petr Velikii.
Ka-50, Ka-52, Mi-28.

PAK FA.

My thoughts as an expert:

Su-35: Obsolete compared to American planes
Su-34: 10 built? 17 years between first flight and first service? Doesn't seem impressive in any way.
Tu-160: This is a militarized version of the obsolete Concorde, right?
Tu-22M: Looks competitive with the F-111M, which is to say it is useless.
Typoon-class sub: Bit old, but can't say if they're any good. Are they not rusted?
Borei-class sub: Looks good.
Pyotr Velikii: I do not understand the purpose of this ship.
All three of those helicopters look straight from the 70s/80s.

Based in the Port of Moscow?

Nope, in the port of Severodvinsk - the major shipbuilding site of the former USSR.

Since when did you guys steal a 1950s era UK carrier and rebadge it?

Are you building more of these things?

[Serb]

and didn't china buy a carrier from y'all a few years ago?

Yep. And we have another one for sale to India.

Muahaaaaaaa. I didn't expect a different response. So the conversation is over. I go back to poker. Bye. (too busy playing a tourney).

Yeah, deep water port, great place

[DinoDoc]

So the rusty Russian nuclear cruisers exists only in your dreams.

Because they are all at the bottom of the sea with the Kursk?

To be biggest non aircraft carrier in world, show Mother Russia strong to West.

[Serb]

Because they are all at the bottom of the sea with the Kursk?

Nope, 'cause they are far from rusty, you dummy

btw, I'm glad to see you too.
