Russian President Vladimir Putin inaugurated two new nuclear-powered submarines this week, promising to reinforce the country’s “military-naval might”. The submarines will be assigned to Russia’s Pacific…
The point is they’re not able to even get a tank properly working…what makes you think they can get a sub running properly. They’re fleet is from the ussr mainly at this point.
Nukes are a phantom menace. Great to have a few to stop getting invaded but completely useless as offensive force projection.
If all the money and talent spent on this thing had been spent of conventional forces Ukraine would be in a lot more trouble than it is now.
I highly doubt much was spent on this sub, everything they build is a paper tiger at this point…T90s no where to be found.
Are you seriously equating building a tank to building two nuclear powered submarines?
One is an attack sub with an estimated cost of ~500M USD
The other is a nuclear missile sub with an estimated cost of ~700M USD
While a t90SM is ~4,.5M USD
