sure that's not the chink carrier?
>>34012343
kek yes, it's a photo from the Syria deployment. Also see the tail marking.
>>34012372
the Engine must be off.
>>34012260
Russians don't need and are not suited for having a blue ocean navy. Perpetually drunk, easily depressed apathetic people never did well on boats. Keep to the land forces.
>>34012260
Why would anyone even consider building a nuclear powered destroyer? The only thing more bloated than the displacement would be the costs.
Oh and remember it's going to be crewed by Russian conscripts and I think we all know how that movie ends.
>>34012260
Do they actually think about buys this stuff?
>>34013152
anybody*
>>34012343
are you fucking blind?
>>34013228
are thou mad?
>>34012343
>No smoke
>No oil slick behind it
Fuck, they've totally run out of gas. Hopefully one of the tugboats has some.
>>34013228
The Kuz and Liaoning look quite similar, anon. There's no fuckhuge number on the tip of the flight deck to tell the two apart like the Yankee carriers have.
>>34012343
It doesn't appear to be moving.
>>34012260
And absolutely nobody is surprised.
>>34012260
>leaving helicopters on the deck
>actual real aircraft in the air as an IFE
Why are Russians so fucking dumb? Is it the rampant fetal alcohol syndrome?
RUSSIA STR0ONK! DONT NEED CARRIERS
>>34012260
>due to budget cuts
YOU DON'T SAY?
>>34012343
>>34012446
it's making no power. check the lack of any wake
>>34013954
Maybe it just engaged stealth mode?
>>34012260
Oh poor, dumb Russian Navy, will you ever not get shit on by fate.
And budgetary measures?
>>34012260
sux to be poor
>>34013954
I think there is a very slight wake
Or a oil slick.
>>34014157
sux to not care if you're 100's of billions of dollars in debt you mean

>...postponing plans to build second aircraft carrier and nuclear-powered destroyer due to budget cuts.
This is probably just the beginning.
By the end of the year they'll have to start implementing deep austerity cuts or they'll have to raid the pension fund.

>Counting Russian's budget in USD
That's a very retard thing.
>>34014980
>Waaaahhhhh stop using a stable, common currency everyone understands!
How about the fact that, despite their budget being 1/10th that of the US they spend a significantly greater percentage of their GDP on the military?
>>34014980
It's also the single currency all other markets are measured against.
>>34012260
>postponing plans
There were never any solid plans to begin with. It was "we kinda want to, maybe after 2025, here are some projects".
>>34013392
The fact that mars passat is still present is ALL THE HINT YOU NEED.
>>34012260
>Sanctions totally not working!
>Russian economy stronk!
>Just look at this infographic provided by RT
When Russia finally give up?
They basically turned into North Korea 2.0.
People can't afford food, 24/7 russia stronk propaganda, most of the military hardware from 70s.
Just wait a bit and they will install giant statue of Putin on Red square.
