Russians do make pretty warships. They will make nice sea floor ornaments.
As for their weapons and being so superior to the rest of the world, they always seem to come up short from what the Russians advertise. Especially when used by proxies against western weapons.
And the west has hypersonic weapons. We were testing those in the 1960s, including a hypersonic manned aircraft, the X-15 Neil Armstrong flew Mach 5.74.. The German V-2 was supposedly “hypersonic”. it is the flight profile and maneuverability that is new, if it is new.
Re-arming Russian warships with tactical nuclear weapons will be new, since the Cold War ended. That should concern people.
