One might say that the “New American” is actually NEITHER— new or American.
Russia Today is hardly a source on russian naval power. As prior posted their aircraft carrier can’t leave port without a seagoing tug following in case of breakdown. The only equivalent in the US Navy is the very “green” soy diesel powered USS Zumwalt whose engines broke down on the shakedown cruise while entering the Panama Canal. Had to be towed to a shipyard for extensive repairs— engines damaged, said to be by the ridiculously dirty “green” diesel fuel. and also a sketchy drive transmission.
The Russian navy is a joke— see: Ukraine taking out 2 major vessels using the equivalent of MANPADS. Seriously- what major navy could ever allow that? Alcoholic command leadership is but one part of this.
Who believes Ukraine did that? and who believes it was MANPADS?
A military other than Ukraine did that, and did it with state-of-the-art technology, not a version of a MANPAD.
...just like the team that blew up the Russian-German pipeline.
