And yes the Russians are also building their navy at a rapid pace. It’s why they don’t really care about the losses in the Black Sea, they can significantly outproduce any losses caused by the Ukrainians.

That sounds interesting. What is your source?

The Russian ships have been a considerable disappointment.

And they are better off with new ships than those old USSR relics.

I don't think that's right, the Russian navy has big problems, they can't build them, can't maintain what they already have.

LCSs like Zumwalts are just not working out -- maybe just too many new technologies on one class of ships.

I like the new Constellation class frigates much better.
They can take on the Chinese.
