Well this IS the Russian navy we are talking about. This very scenario, but on a boat.
That has to do with the fuel it uses. It runs on Mazut which is barely refined fuel that's thick, heavy, and dirty as shit. It's pretty much only used in Russia and a few of the post soviet states.
Yeah, I didn't think it was legit but now that Russian sources are confirming the ammo went off, there's no way it's still afloat, best case scenario for it is to be at the bottom of a port where it will be raised to be salvaged. Ship ammo explosions are huge and almost always blow the ship literally in half, for example here's pictures of the (admittedly Battleships) Arizona and Yamato, both of which met their end to their ammo going off.
Ship explosions are fucking scary. Some of the ww1 era ones were damn near as powerful as a lower power nuke and would fuck shit up for miles around it when they went off in port.
I think Yamato killed more American airplanes with the last detonation than it killed with its AA systems during the entire battle.
Most infamous example because it was filmed was likely the explosion when HMS Barham capsized. Just the sailors crowding on the hull then seeing the hull buckle and blow
One Amphibious assault ship, the second was damaged, although there's barely any info on what was damaged and how badly, so it's quite possible it's actually two since it might end up in the salvage yard.
There's no doubt been modernization programs for both armor and infantry but while somewhat impressive on paper they're hampered by corrupt officials and outdated doctrines. They probably figured that it wouldn't matter too much because they could easily overwhelm a country or invader with numbers but apparently that doesn't seem the case. Especially when outside countries are donating ATGMs to Ukraine and the Russian Army itself is hampered by supply issues. Logistics might not be the most entertaining of subjects but its importance is underlined by the number of abandoned vehicles in what used to be occupied areas.
This is a very limited take. Just like it's difficult to explain to ignorant Americans that the world is a big place, it's difficult to explain to ignorant foreigners that the United States is an entire continent and there is more to America than the NE megalopolis or California. Most of the South is comprised of relatively newly built infrastructure, architecture, etc. It was where the majority of the civil war was fought so a lot of things needed rebuilding. It was also full of wide open spaces and now people are flocking here by the droves.
not even remotely my experience. In a lot of places during the "summer of love" in the suburbs, homeowners gathered together, blocked off their subdivisions and guarded the entrance with rifles as a unit. There is a reason those suburban protests were almost always peaceful and uneventful.
This sounds like your experience comes from the west coast. That is truly a sad story of retarded people fucking up a paradise.
Oh, it's that ship? Well, now that it's been pretty much confirmed to have suffered a fire and ammunition explosion, you'd better hope it was the result of a Ukrainian missile. If it turns out to have been the result of careless munitions handling or some other accident, we'll never hear the end of how the ship ultimately did indeed go fuck itself.
Does this mean the SJWs were right when they said words were violence?
Unless we immediately get the equivalent of another tranny incident, this is first actual W for /uhg/.
