Russia's Dilapidated Aircraft Carrier Keeps Getting Banned

Hey at least it got tugboats.

Fucking pathetic

I remember literally seeing a picture of Kuznetsov's smoke emissions being visable from space.

Seems like a strategic liability.

lawl, on the bright-side they could blow the whole country of France away now if they wanted.

Has there ever been a point in time that the Russian navy hasn't been a huge joke?

From the Russo-Japanese war (the disastrous transfer of the western fleets to the east and the battle of Tsushima) to all the sub incidents during the Soviet era to the decrepit fleet of today, has there ever been a bright spot in their naval history, or are they forever been cursed to be allergic to seawater?

The only things that satellites aren't constantly aware of are Submarines dude

>>81056
the guy the ship is named after was pretty boss

I wish some government was brave enough to take Russia to court for crimes against humanity in Allepo.

American can't do it because it does not recognise the International Court of Justice because it's afraid of it's own troops, pentagon and all being tried for their own shit.

So who is going to do it. Russia still thinks this is the 19 century. Russian is no longer a thing.

>ignores stupid political orders
>save officers from purge
>is the only one who actually gets ready for German invasion (on the same day of invasion no less)
>Hero of the Soviet Union
>demoted and removed from post twice because of political bullshit
>writes books calling everyone else out on their bullshit

This guy becomes more amazing because everyone around him is either incompetent or out to get him. It speaks volumes about the quality of the man, but also the failure of the organization he was a part of.

What happens if the US's own troops are tried, and found guilty? Who is going to enforce this?
Nobody can. America has to police itself because it's so big.

The Russian navy never enjoyed the status of western navies.
It was always the least important service.
In times of peace in western countries (and Japan) said powers could enjoy building up battlefleets.

Russia has always had fuckhuge, often contested borders and the land forces have always been of primary concern.

That said in the era before 1900 they did bretty gud with what they had

>>81130
america is the bigger cancer.

>>81111
Yeah it woulda been weird if they had just named it after some random asshole.

>the Ivan Ivanivitch named after a Russian man who managed to fit 435 paper clips in his mouth, setting a new Russian record. National hero for all Russia.

>>81130
Yes, because we belong in the middle of that mess.
>RUSSIA WE WANT YOU TO SAY SORRY FOR KILLING ALLEPO
>nyet
>W...WHAT?! B-B-BUT MUH INTERNATIONAL TREATIES, MUH UN, MUH GLOBALIZATION
>nyet
>B-BUT WE'RE ANGRY AT YOU
>nyet

Damn thing needs it's own tugboats. It knows how to do teh breakdown.

>>81051
Why, because they have an aircraft carrier? France has a bigger, better and more modern nuclear powered carrier, that unlike Kuznetsov, can launch fighters that were not manufactured before you were born.

i almost laughed a little. but that's basically what they're doing and it's actually serious. not that other powers haven't done similar things recently.

>Baghdad 2003
>Shock and Awe

It's only okay when the Americans do it.

Russia cannot into blue water

>>81239
lol, this is so accurate.

And even then, deep penetration thermal imaging gives us a pretty good shot at those... And marine-volcanoes
