It's easy to shoot at things that don't shoot back

[thethoth]

It took Russia years to build these ships and they will sink in one hour.

[Thetequilashooter]

Like anyone takes Russia’s conventional forces seriously anymore. They’ve humiliated themselves in Ukraine.

[allennewberry]

If you pay attention, they miss ALOT. Just like in Ukraine

[vallorahn]

All show for bosses, nothing really usable in real war.

[quyletran]

The Moskva brotherhood, they can dive to the bottom of the sea and stay there indefinitely.

[Laughable]

Their puny guns won’t do nothing without effective air defense. Which Ukraine has showed again and again. Lol

[CXensation]

Impressive how many rounds they fired at a sitting duck slow propeller driven heavy aircraft.

[Robolaralobarar]

What do they think they will be shooting at that close ? Drones ? Or 1945 spitfires ? Same on the water surface. This could have been 1945 if you filmed it in black and white

[francisjeffrey]

1:02 when you're holding a fart and try to release it quietly.

[MrShuttz]

Poor quality equipment and no fighting experience.

[Shy_Knee_Side_Up]

Japan has been spending big on beefing up its military capacity. Japan is flying an entire Wing of their own spec F-35’s. I wouldn’t f with Japan.

[cabba]

AK-630 rotating barrel cannon from 1976 and Kamov Ka 25 helicopter operational since 1971. Basically old iron

[Jay-O_Carlow]

There better not be rough sea's or another ship will catch fire & sink

God for bid someone smokes a cigarette the whole fleet would blow up

[chaosXPRT]

Clearly the Moskova had not practiced enough! Otherwise it would not have sank!

[shakabra]

Inside russian ship looks dated back in 70's.

[carsondefa]

Wow.. very impressive, you can shoot a little floaty from a few hundred yards that isn’t moving.

[omidpourhossein]

Annexing land just a nicer word for stealing.

[Kevin-gncb]

any responsibility to killed fish or they were asked to leave field

[carlowingfield]

Watch out Russian sailors will steal anything from Chinese ships that are not tied down .
