The Russian Navy Sucks Part 2 - The Kursk by History of Everything - Reaction 

The terrifying thing? The torpedo in question was *dropped on the dock* before being loaded anyway... You have to wonder how many of Kursk's crew wanted off the boat at that point..

Russia has currently lost most of its navy ships to a country that has zero.

"Other countries are corrupt too!" Yeah um, there's corruption in other countries... but it is not so absurdly systemic and systematic that if you're not corrupt people think you're some sort of weirdo or troublemaker.

The part of this story that is so infuriating, is when the Russians finally let the Norwegian and British forces try and save the men, the Russians said "Oh don't go near this part of the ship" because they were worried about them seeing secrets and maybe finding out the awful state of the ship, when all the British and Norwegians wanted to do was save then men they didn't give a damn about the sub they cared about the men and even when they are allowing compatant rescue the Russians are still screwing it up.

The only good thing out of this whole clownshow was the British, Canadian, Norwegian, American and other Navies upon hearing of the disaster offered to help the moment they heard about it, for men they never met and likely had been their enemies a few years before, they went "to hell with the politics or grandstanding people are in need lets go help" and its one of the things i love so much about sailors is even if it means diving headlong into a storm with a ship just damaged in said storm if they can help they will help even at great rick to their own lives, i heard a good quote about this actually which was "All sailors are family and family look out for each other", just wish Russia believed that too.

On the subject of the Russian government I think the best description would be to take inspiration from voltaire “where most governments have corruption Russia has corruption as a government”

Admiral Levchenko anti sub vessel is currently on fire due to engine malfunction

Ah yes, have you also heard that the SU-57 was destoyed by a drone strike?

If government corruption was an Olympic sport then Russia would have been an all time champion. It's so ingrained in the fabric of society that they don't even perceive it as corruption. There's a saying in Russia that goes "you don't pay taxes, you bribe that tax collector". It's to the point that not taking advantage of your position in ways that would get you kicked the fuck out in any normal country is seen as suspicious. If you're not using your work car to get free fuel for your private one, if you're not taking shit from the office like a printer or a "broken" laptop back home, if you're not embezzling funds to buy yourself a new car, etc. you're the one everyone is weary of bc they're worried you're going to rat them out bc all of them are doing it. Corruption in Russia isn't an error of the system, it's an integral part of it. Other countries have corruption in the government. Russia has government built on corruption. It's an integral part of society to the point most Russian people are shocked the first time they land a job in Germany or UK that people there don't do these things. To someone who lived in Russia and former USSR republics their whole life lack of corruption is an alien concept...

Russia is the perfect example of the phrase "rich man's war poor man's fight"

You know how there's that saying that goes something like being at sea is weeks or months of boredom followed by minutes of sheer stark terror? Not in the Russian navy. It's terror all the time in those waters.

Hey, Russia just lost a SU 57. I posted this on your last video but it's sooooooo entertaining that I just had to comment it again.

Oh good lord, the Kursk. This should be good

7:24 Are you sure that's correct? Isn't it just shoot shoot shoot and nothing else?

"Well There's Your Problem" did an episode on the Kursk. They also did one on the Santa Barbara Mega Dorm Cube that.... it's special. Mind you, the plans for Munger Hall got scaled back from the initial ambition, but those original plans...

Yeah it gets worse for the Russian Navy alright but did you hear recently that Russia's magnum opus stealth fighter jet of theirs? The SU-57 Felon just got hit from Ukrainian cheap-drones. And it gets worse they are sitting out in the open of the airfield with no protection as if a hangar roof or something could protect it.

As a fellow ex-Squid, how much does watching these videos hurt? Like, yeah, there's the entertainment factor, but I was in the Army, and when I hear stories of suckage on a massive scale like this, I laugh, but there's a part of me that thinks, "By the Grace of fate, I'm glad that wasn't me."

I remember history channel's "Modern marvels" show had a segment on the Kursk. It was quite informative. The sad story about the Kursk is that it was incompetence and a stubborn prideful leadership that damned the crew to die.

No sound Sorry the audio works now

I am determined to comment on every one of your videos because War pugs are real

Considering what is happening right now the more mistakes the Russian military makes and keeps making the better. Well... mostly as there will be collateral damage. Russia wishes they could be as good as they are in the 2nd Korean War scenario in Wargame: Red Dragon.

If I may ask, what kinda of ship did you serve on when you were in the navy? I'm just curious Love the videos😊

Moving sucks man! I for one is way to old to ever move my shit around again. 🤪

The only thing that bothers me about HoE's videos as a fellow Australian is how he insists the word 'nuclear' is pronounced 'nucular' despite the fact that 'nuclear' predates the first recorded use of 'nucular' by over a century.

Seeing as I'm first and I potentially have your attention, any chance you could react to History Dose? He's a great youtube channel that has an amazing series on the mongols and a legendary two parter on Harald "Hardrada" Sigurdsson, the Last Viking. All of his artwork is not AI generated and is breathtakingly beautiful, and all of it is for sale too. Love that you're reacting to this series as well; he's humble but is a great storyteller. Edit: If you do decide to react to History Dose, Could you react to his "China Meets Africa" video first? It's a personal favorite and is a piece of history no one ever really talks about.

I always have to laugh when someone tries to define "Battlecruiser." On the surface it's pretty easy to understand "somewhere between a cruiser and a battleship" but in practice there's very little agreement on which ships truly deserve the classification. Is the Alaska-class a battlecruiser or a large cruiser? Was Kongo a battlecruiser or a fast battleship? The Deutschland class might be the ship that has most effectively played the role of a battlecruiser, and they're classified as heavy cruisers. And if you've ever heard the term "pocket battleship" it refers to the Deutschland-class heavy cruiser, because that's not confusing. To make matters worse, ships increased in size *significantly* at the beginning of the 20th century through WWII. The South-Carolina class battleship(or dreadnought. *sigh*) at 16,000 tons was basically half the size of the 34,000 ton Alaska-class "large cruiser" a few decades later. People can't even agree on what a battlecruiser was supposed to actually *do.* Is it supposed to be able to hold its own against enemy battleships, as Kongo and Hood were designed to do(sorry Hood, it didn't work out), or be specialized in defeating enemy cruisers, as Alaska was designed to do(but never did)? Should it be a fast and powerful ship capable of operating on its own? Definitely-not-a-battlecruiser Deutschland says hello. And if you were to get "battlecruisers" to fight each other Thunderdome-style, the ships had such different capabilities most of the matchups probably wouldn't even be close.

This is one of the few stories about the russian navy i cant find it funny in the least. My father was a submariner. I visited his ship a few times. Even the more modern ones are still things the claustrophobic would find nightmarish. I cant help but seeth with rage at the russian leadership, both the admiralty and putin, for their criminal behavior motivated by SELFISH POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY, sacrificing the lives of innocent sailors to an horrible death beyond imagination. Yet russia and putin still have groupies.... EVEN IN THE WEST! I hate everything about putin's russia. The other stories i find thrm funny but this one just enrages me.

What about the men who will die when Russia collapses?

Amen. Comments at 14+ is soo true. We are all sons and daughters of God. May their memory be eternal.

Last night, the International Monetary Fund put Russia on the 4th place in the world in terms of GDP and the United States on the 6th, but for some reason the Western media and channels are silent about this why?

Only time I've ever really disagreed with you: "And it's because some incompetent asshole is basically sending them off to fight a stupid pointless war, and the same for the Ukrainians, in fact MORE SO for the Ukrainians" I had a whole wall of text questioning how the hell Ukraine was worse than Russia, when Russia's been murdering Ukrainians since 2014 sending soldiers and PMC's to join and fight for the separatists. Even way back then, Artillery strikes were traced back to battery's inside Russia. And let's not forget the great air defence platform, the BUK, famous for when Wagner troops posing as separatists shot down a civilian airliner killing everyone on board and then promptly proceeded to start looking the crash site, the targeting of UKR civilians by RU missiles/bombs during and ever since the 2022 invasion, the mass graves and rape dungeons found when UKR recaptured Bakhmut, RU Artillery completely flattening towns, city's, and villages; the thousands of young RU men and teens conscripted that aren't even trained or properly equipped, even being told if they want gear then have their family buy and sending it to them, because RU knows they're just there to soak up the bullets while the real team trys to break through somewhere else, or even have the conscripts slaughtered in a suicidal attack just to get a couple drone hits on the strong points opening fire. Using Chernobyl reactor building as an ammo dump, etc, etc, etc. Love your reactions, and this won't change that at all; but I REALLY fail to see how Ukraine is worse than Russia and Putin. Have Zelensky and Ukraine made some mistakes and poor choices? Oh hell yes, but as evil and with such a vile disregard for human life as Russia? Hell no. Everyone's entitled to their opinion though, so I guess this is just one instance where ours differ. If I've somehow misunderstood your remarks, then I apologize; and I'm not trying to be rude or an asshole, so if I come off that way it's unintended. Still a fan and Hope the channel keeps growing, every reactor needs something unique to make them interesting. Whatever it is, you've got it.
