What can I say, well done! ..... our shipbuilders are not ashamed to learn good from their neighbors! It's a shame ...... grandmothers to earn money at the expense of the country's interests by selling ships that should enter our fleet under various pretexts! I'm talking about the situation on Yantar!

Something I am glad about the successes of China. probably got the hell out of the "exceptional shitcrats"

Politics intervened in the situation at Yantar. Territory 404 refused to supply turbines. I will most likely not have my own engines in 2018-2020. did not rust at the wall while waiting for the turbines, it would be better to sell them to the Indians, and use the money to lay new ones for our engines.

(C) It's a shame ...... grandmas at the expense of the country's interests to earn by selling ships

It should be a shame to the authorities, thanks to which the "grandmothers" to maintain the trousers of our military-industrial complex come from abroad, and not from the Russian budget, which at that time is being plundered and going offshore.

Well what can I say, once again, the Chinese are great. especially when you consider that our promising destroyer on the Leader theme can be built no earlier than 2023-2025 /
The first destroyers of the PLA Navy were four Project 7 ships from the Pacific Fleet (type "Anshan") transferred to the USSR. In China, they served until the early 1990s, receiving additional missile weapons during the service. For a long time these were the largest surface ships of the fleet. Of the four ships, two are now museums, and one is used as a teaching aid at the Dalian Naval Academy. Further - the destroyer of project 051 ("Luida", based on the Soviet project 56), its radically modified version of the project 051GII "Zhuhai", project 051C "Shenzhen" (not serially built), project 956E, project 052B, project 052C. Modifications of each of the base types are not shown, as well as the newest destroyer of the 052D project.
