I just watched a movie about a Russian sub disaster in Barents Sea near Norway 12 August 2000.
Makes the Russian Navy look pretty incompetent. Yeh, I know it's a movie.
But just makes me wonder if the army isn't much better and could explain why their headway in Ukraine has been pretty slow. Especially since they certainly out number the Ukranians in a big way.
Apparently Pootin refused offers of assistance from other navy's for 5 days. Sheesh.
