Tsssss... This is of course just another proof of the Russian economy booming!

Some parts of it more literally than others.

Oh damn, that looked like it triggered a secondary explosion pretty much immediately.

Congratulations to the Russian Navy on their new submarine lol :D

Didn't seem like it to me. Playing at .5x speed (available in the streamable player), it seems like the flash comes from panning too much to the left close to a light.

Either way, hope it's fucked beyond repair 🤟

The sea life of the Black Sea thanks the Russian Navy for its donation of a new marine reef.

It's all exciting action to record with the phone, until a ship explodes and reality kicks in.

Well you should know that Russia produces 100 of ships like these a year. And it wasn't really that damaged and it was going for a refit anyway.

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That number seems laughably high. 30 ships across all keelsizes, maybe, but 100. Got any info on your information?

Of this type less than 16 are built: wiki project 22160

[–] NoiseColor@startrek.website 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It was a joke, a collection of usual responses from russian propagandists. It couldn't go for a refit if it sunk... And the numbers have to be laughably high otherwise you could be prosecuted or suicided.

You really have to add an /s to things like that. I have seen quite a few tankies make arguments exactly like that without being sarcastic in the least.

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Wooooooosh...

I'm sorry, with all the tankies around you never know.

That’s roughly 65 billion $ a year for future seaweed furniture. I am not sure a country that has to buy discount ammunition from North Korea has the capacity to do that for very long.
