    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.

        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.

      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.
