>The mighty warship was created by Ukraine
The independent Ukraine with all its "manufacturing prowess" was unable to finish its sister ship Ukraina for 30 years. It got almost sold to Russia in 2010.
>brought down by Ukrainian missiles
With a tinsy bit of help from the NATO radars and surveillance drones.
- jollybean 5y agoIf you don't have money or strategic reason to finish a ship, or arm it you don't finish it. Frankly, that kind of ship has no place in a Ukrainian fleet, so to spend billions on it would make no sense. Ukraine as a province of Russian Empire, for that Empire - yes.
