Thank you for the detailed analysis. I would love Russia putting resources into this. The area of battleships ended at Pearl Harbor. And hasn’t been resurrected. Cursing in the artic for a year? They would run out of vodka before a month. But by all means, buil, buil build!

Very interesting analysis. Thank you. This ship will sink quite quickly I guess. And that will be something unforgettable. Maybe its crew will sell its engines and its armament before it can do any harm. Ouch. And lol too

So I guess this means that unlike all the wheeled-equipment you'd like in your driveway, you'll pass on having a smaller version of one of these in your swimming pool.

Yes, just so I can make some miniature torpedoes and blow it up!

I haven’t read the piece yet, I will. But resurrecting something like a battlecruiser is simply just saying «hit me» to naval drones. Stupid use of resources. (But now ai will check the details.)

Thanks for this update. These days big ships just make big targets for relatively cheap attack vehicles. And big Russian ships just make reefs or toxic waste filled anchorages, even without an external enemy to run them aground. Slava Ukraini!
