Some parts of it more literally than others.

The sea life of the Black Sea thanks the Russian Navy for its donation of a new marine reef.

It's all exciting action to record with the phone, until a ship explodes and reality kicks in.

Well you should know that Russia produces 100 of ships like these a year. And it wasn't really that damaged and it was going for a refit anyway.

That number seems laughably high. 30 ships across all keelsizes, maybe, but 100. Got any info on your information?

Of this type less than 16 are built: wiki project 22160

It was a joke, a collection of usual responses from russian propagandists. It couldn't go for a refit if it sunk... And the numbers have to be laughably high otherwise you could be prosecuted or suicided.

You really have to add an /s to things like that. I have seen quite a few tankies make arguments exactly like that without being sarcastic in the least.

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Wooooooosh...

I'm sorry, with all the tankies around you never know.

That’s roughly 65 billion $ a year for future seaweed furniture. I am not sure a country that has to buy discount ammunition from North Korea has the capacity to do that for very long.
