...claims Russia.

It was not hit by missiles during a war, and just happened to blow up, catch fire, and sink due to bad luck.

Coincidentally, Russian navy has moved other ships away from Ukraine coast. To avoid hostile enemy weather, no doubt.

OOI here is the local weather report. Wind speed around 7mph. Visibility 45km.

In other news, the Bismarck, the Graf Spee and the Belgrano are simply resting beneath the surface, following their modernisation and conversion to submarines.

I was sitting at traffic lights when that news came in last night. 4 guys in the car to my side started bouncing up and down. Grins and thumbs-ups exchanged. With about a billion other people?
Ukranian made missile.

Perhaps the Russian ships are built by the same people who build trains for the UK.
 
The Russian navy is rusting away

Most was built in the soviet era

Same quality control as Lada s

and Moskavitch

yes exactly

****e
 
We worked for a B.A pilot who used to fly to Moscow

Aeroflot flight check prior to take off was the captain kicking the tyres :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Despite that, some Russian fighter planes are not lacking.

Russians may be OK at limited production engineering

but when it comes to masse producing well yes

jeez us wept

dare say that ship that sunk was only afloat due Mr masticski

or bumper industrial sized tins of
Fernox LSX and gaffer tape :)
 
Used Aeroflot many times. Once there were lots of little random shaped patches pop-riveted on to the inside of the cabin. Someone drew attention to them and I said "bullets" a bit too loudly. Their word is evidently similar - a Yak in a stewardess uniform came to tell me off.

Who else remembers the weak lemonade and fishy flavoured chicken, and the hairy Anti hijack geezer sitting with a big gun by the door to the pilot?


AEROFLOT : Accidents expected regularly on f…. lethal old Tupolevs
AEROFLOT : Always Empty Relying on Fuel Left On Tarmac
AEROFLOT : Always expect rotten old food lifted off trolleys
QANTAS Queens And Nonces Training As Stewardessess,
QANTAS Quite A Nice Trip All Survived
LUFTHANSA : Let us f*** the hostess and not say anything
DELTA : Divert Everyone's Luggage To Atlanta
DELTA : Don't Expect Luggage To Arrive
SABENA for me was always: Same awful bloody experience; never again
EL AL – Every Landing Always Late
AIR FRANCE : An international reputation for rude and non caring employees
BA : Bloody awful - obviously.
CUBANA : Castro usually boarded another airline
ALITALIA = Always Late in Takeoff, Always Late in Arrival
ALITALIA = A little Italian Tit, and lotsa Italian Arse
AA : Airborne Alcoholics
TWA : The wrong Airline
BOAC : Better On A Camel
Ryanair : Really you are nasty a-holes in ranks.
Easyjet : Economy Airline Slows Your Journey Every Time
AIR INDIA : After I Return I'll Never Do It Again.

Lot of lives lost in those incidents.
Glad you find that fact amusing.

Could have been caused by British made Harpoon anti ship missiles.
I read a report 4 days before the incident about the UK supplying UKraine with anti ship missiles.
