Ah, but the Russkies cannot afford to lose anything.
They are rapidly (in the next five years) approaching the point they won’t even be able to deploy an effective army due to their shockingly fast depopulation according to futurist George Freedman.
A 2,500 ton corvette is nothing. They are built in series a dozen at a time at multiple shipyards. They are virtually meant to be expendable missile launching platforms.
Our loss of the Bonny Dick TO SABOTAGE BY ITS OWN CREW is 100 times more significant. It was the flagship of our current Pacific amphibious warfare capability, and will take more than a decade to replace, if it is ever replaced.
“They are rapidly (in the next five years) approaching the point they won’t even be able to deploy an effective army due to their shockingly fast depopulation according to futurist George Freedman.”
Is anybody fact-checking after the popular propaganda nowadays? Russian population figures are freely available in open sources.
So, when the Chinese want to take over Eastern Siberia ….
We can’t afford to lose anything either. The LCS can no longer be repaired by its own crew, for example.
