I joined the US Navy in 1980. I went to WESTPAC and omg, what a great time! The end of the Cold War years later took all the fun out of flying ASW missions. Looks like Ivan is flexing his muscles again.

@thunderbird1921 2 года назад

To some extent, but I don't think Russia has much in terms of power to smash folks except third world countries and many of their non-NATO regional neighbors (apart from nukes of course). China though...is another story. THAT I'm legitimately worried about, rapidly growing air force and navy, and lots of financial power. Hypersonic missiles will only make them even more dangerous as Xi continues his aggression. Basically, hold Russia accountable for their actions and watch them, but start making contingency plans for the Chinese now. The Red Dragon is a menace to the whole civilized world, and the sooner more realize it, the better. Clinton was an idiot.

Not at all. Mentality of the Russian solders is totally different from how they are portrayed in the West. They are not loud and proud. They are good people and not blood thirsty at all. Never.

Some of this reminds me of the ill-considered criticism of the Spruance-class destroyers. "Oh look, the Soviet destroyers are just bristling with weapons and sensors, you look at a Spruance, you see a couple of puny 5 inch guns and an ASROC box launcher aft." Of course, the American ship was spacious enough to have most of its weapons below decks; the cramped Soviet destroyer had to have everything above decks exposed to the elements. As for Soviet indifference to habitability, that may explain in part why re-enlistment rates in the Soviet Navy were almost zero, and you had lieutenants doing jobs an E-4 would do in a western navy.

@ktm8848 2 года назад

on 5:00 an officer was highlinting the differences between soviet & US navies stating that soviet had twice the Number of US ships but when it cames to tonnage the US outperform their adversaries with same ration i think that's a bit misleading because soviet area of interest was close to their shore so a mosquito navy like nowdays russian navy is enough for them on the other hand US shores are far away from US area of interest so they had to build large expensive ships and mantain a large number of facilities

@x_hibernia 2 года назад

You know the funny thing is that Russia still has these boats in operation as we all seen one been blown to bits and crippling another, they were new back then but not most if not all of them are obsolete and one dude with minimal training can take a entire warship down with a at-4, plus you have turkey blocking them from even leaving the black sea

@CrookedSmirk 2 года назад

An entire warship down with an AT4? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

@hatuletoh 2 года назад

Ports have always been the geographic Achilles heel of Russia. Which is why Crimea has always been such a big deal to them, and part of the reason the Soviets cultivated close relationships with India and Middle Eastern countries.

@timengineman2nd714 2 года назад

@@CrookedSmirk It would take a bit more than an AT-4, but if the ship, any ship the size of some of these Russian ships are, gets close enough, And if the guy holding the AT-4 (or other heavy weapon) knows what they are doing, you can seriously damage the ship! (Up to and including taking out the entire bridge crew, or putting a hole at the waterline where every wave adds more and more water until the hole becomes free flooding, perhaps at the engineering compartment (robbing the ship of it's speed) or at the torpedo tubes and if there is something in them you'll get a bigger bang!)

@Bustermachine 2 года назад

@@CrookedSmirk Yeah, that is . . . a significant exaggeration. XD Though I suspect the state of the Russian navy is such that their damage control isn't up to snuff. I wouldn't be surprised if a large surface combatant was sunk by a lot less than you'd expect. But not a single anti-tank rocket XD

@donlove3741 2 года назад

Disagree.. Steamed during those times... USN was inferior in 1974. Russian Navy was dangerous and well trained and equipped. Most 7th Fleet warships were WW2 or Korean war era. The USN change classification of DLG to CG, DE became FF Viola Navy grew... 1974 Yokosuka Japan. DesRon 5 had 4 WW2 Gearing destroyers 1 mid 50s converted DDG and 1 WW2 CL converted in the 50s to CLG. 1 converted DLG to CG and 1950s CVA.. Sasebo had no warships just mothballed Flat bottom amphibious ships.. Closest submarines were in Guam. A couple transiting from CONUS and Pearl.. Russian Navy had Newer more heavily armed DDG, CLGs and CHGs swarms of submarines and an entire airforce at hand.. JMSDF had Costal submarine and a dozen DDGs and few DDH.. ROK was equipped with WW2 Fletcher DDs and Korea war F86s...

@Bustermachine 2 года назад

I disagree. In the 1970s the Russian Navy was a legitimate threat tapering off as the years went by and the Soviet Economy stagnated. Now, in the Russian navy, these ships are foundationally obsolete, with only limited upgrades, and exceptionally ill maintained. But I wouldn't have discounted them in their heyday.

Yeah I reckon back then it was more capable but the country was still corrupt. They couldn’t afford it that’s why it collapsed but now it’s a mess.
