📝Cutting without a knife📝 a look at domestic shipbuilding Shipbuilding in Russia has been in deep crisis for years. To be completely honest, since the collapse of the USSR there have been only a few bright spots against the backdrop of a heap of failed projects and long-term construction efforts costing billions of rubles. The situation in the Gulf of Finland amid AFU strikes is yet another telling example of the current state of our shipbuilding. The footage shows the latest border patrol ship "Purga," which has been in a half-sunken state for five days now. 🖍Are there any visible efforts to restore it to at least its original state? No. Meanwhile, the ship itself, judging by the absence of external damage, did not suffer direct hits from drones, and its restoration will take less time than expected. 🚩And this problem is not new. It's worth recalling the sea tug "Captain Ushakov," built for the Russian Navy, which in the summer of 2025 capsized to starboard as a result of an accident and sank: as of February 2026, it remains lying in the same place. 🏳️There are two main problems here: lack of technical capacity and bureaucracy (the aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov" won't let us lie). There are extremely few shipyards in Russia to meet the needs of the entire fleet, add to this constant delays in schedules, and voilà – we get such a sad picture. ❗️And if someone says it's impossible to put everything in order in such short timeframes, one can look at our North Korean partners, who unsuccessfully launched their destroyer in May, but already in June raised it again and began repairs. #Russia #navy ✈ RU | ✈ EN | ✉ MAX ✉ VK | ✉ RuTube | ✉ OK | ✉ Zen 💸Support us Original msg
