That's impressive.

I'm now wondering how fucking useless the Russian navy would be fighting a nation that also had a navy.

For an amusing read on how well their navy did against the Japanese, in 1905, check out Battle of Tsushima.

The Russians lost 5.045 and 21 ships (more captured and/or damaged). Japan lost 117 and 3 torpedo boats.

Here's an entertaining video on their journey to Japan.

Can you please elaborate how one can lose a decimal value of ships?

[-] Mbourgon@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago

Some countries reverse commas vs periods. 5.599,99, almost 5600

Who even needs a dot? 5 599,99

I don't think Russia has ever had a positive naval experience in anger lmao

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 2 points 4 days ago

There's a long history of the Russian Navy being humiliated. I don't think there's been any positive stories at all.

They didn't suffer any losses during Operation Preying Mantis
