I am glad that we can do it! The only country in the world that makes nuclear icebreakers! Yes, and the construction time is amazing! Keep it up!

[Tatar 174]

Our icebreakers are power! and FNPP Academician Lomonosov, then generally a unique phenomenon in the world! Whoever understands what all this fleet means is undoubtedly proud of our achievements.

[Alien From]

You know guys, I like the word "atomic" the most!!!

[novel66]

We do these installations best of all, and autonomy in ice is any more

[Real Pilot]

How it glows beautifully in the photo! And he does not need to save electricity at all.

[Alien From]

I devoted a lot of time to light music))) the photo is of course with exposure, but this does not negate the power of this beautiful vessel!

[Petr_Koldunov]

And the sharpness of the water surface? With exposure, you can’t provide such water in any way. And the fact that the photo of the icebreaker is not superimposed on the water background, but actually it is on this water, is without a doubt ...

[antivirus]

Feat - 15 years up to this point, plans and construction itself + 40 years of work.
And again the battle continues ...

[petrol cutter]

The light is on ... Well, just like during the day.
It’s always surprising why there is lighting in the workshop ... Well, so that you don’t stumble on the slipway a lot, or don’t really hurt your head
Presumably for camouflage. To vigorously.

[Chief Officer Lom]

In general, sailors are superstitious people, so the name of the ship from this point of view is a little alarming. The fate of the auxiliary cruiser "Ural", a participant in the Tsushima battle, and the nuclear namesake of the unique SSV "Ural" is not very successful. I wish the career of the new nuclear-powered ship to be successful and put superstition to shame! puff-puff-puff....

[silverwolf88]

good news ... the northern sea route is our good supply line and icebreakers make it year-round ... that's good[)

[Oleg Ogorod]

Is nuclear fuel already being loaded into reactors in St. Petersburg?

[tralflot1832]

In the port of Murmansk nuclear icebreakers Yamal and Ural, all the rest on the NSR, Vaigach in Dudinka.

Thin ice, you "Ural"!!! Russia rules the Arctic!!!

[Petr_Koldunov]

Well, he's just handsome! Glows like a Christmas tree to the envy of Eurocretins! Let the Burbocks and Habacks in the dark and cold wash their eggs for a minute once a month ... everything is in order with heat, water and light!
