I am fascinated with the extreme equipment built by Russians, and have much respect for their brilliant engineers, designers, and craftsmen and women. I am a US citizen by birth, and I wish that people of US and Russia will work together to solve problems, instead of the governments talking about war. Together, and with all other nations, almost any problem could be solved.

Actually, top three icebreakers are Russian:
1. New Arktika class,
2. Taymir class,
3. Old Arktika class.
With the future undisputed king - Project 10510, Lider class, currently under construction.

Thanks to South Africa, USA, Canada, Finland, and Russia for your bravery and dedication. All excellent icebreakers and I applaud all.

In Soviet Russia, Titanic sink iceberg.

Definitivamente solo los rompehielos de Rusia deberían estar en esta lista. Los demás de Canadá, Estados Unidos y Sudáfrica no impresionan.

There are ice breakers and there is THE RUSSIAN ICE BREAKER which goes through the ice like a speed boat. I believe they have more ice breakers under construction to keep the northern route from Yamal open.

The Russian Icebreaker looks like it has a 5 Star hotel attached to it.

The Russia nuclear icebreaker is called the 50 лет Победы, translated '50 years of Victory'.
