The Ukrainian Navy Blows Up As Much Russian Naval Tonnage As Russian Shipyards Manage To Build
Most of the world’s leading navies are getting bigger by tonnage. But not the Russian navy. It’s struggling to grow at all, and for one main reason. The Ukrainian navy.
That really shows how little shipbuiling capacity Russia still has. Most of Russias fleet is not in the Black Sea and as Turkey is blocking Russian military ships from entering, they are neither super intressting nor easy targets for Ukraine.
Couldn't Russia still move some of its fleet through the deep water system?
Little shipbuilding capacity is no surprise, when taking into account that Ukraine was part of USSR's capacity, and now Russia is attacking... well, that. Like, all those shipyards are not likely to get any materials from Azovstal for a while.
As is tradition
For those interested in amusing Russian naval history, may I present, The Russian Baltic Fleet as it makes it's way to fight the Japanese:
Good watch, thanks.
