Minsk carrier 1978-1995 Shenzhen Jan 2007

[memadmax69]

Russia was never serious in their aircraft carrier programs.... A more familiar term to label these ships is "escort carrier". They even say so on their design bureau designation..... Even the new one, the Admiral Kuznetsov is meant for defensive operations during fleet operations... so, yea... Russian carriers are a joke... That ramp on the bow would make me feel embarrassed to serve on these ships...

[jrobertsoneff]

No wonder the brits were always bombing peaple

[FOCKEWULFD9]

ah ah ah !!! " stupid british tea sucking piece of shit"b ah ah ah nioce !!

[micro90]

Your profile says you are 35 mate, is your comment the sum total of your education ?

[fredgt28]

Hey British guy, you have something on your face. And by the way your teeth are bloody fucked up. GO to a dentist. Other than that, go home.

[CVAN687478]

Fuck the Chinks & the Russian cocksuckers

[bittemeinrammstein]

your a stupid little faggot arent you, you stupid british tea sucking piece of shit

the Kiev class was state of the art during the 70's and 80's you stupid mother fucker... OH and FYI the Kuznetsov is actually 5X more technologicially advanced than any British faggot carrier and is on the same level with a nimitz bitch! also just one more FYI for your stupid ass... Russia WILL build SIX aircraft carrier battle groups by 2020 first ship starts in 2009 fag

RUSSIA FOREVER BITCH!

[micro90]

Am sure the Kuznetsov was state of the art in the 70's 80's. I do not doubt the technology was advanced for its era, but 5 times is approximately the difference between a Pentium Pro and a duo core processor, which is 10 years. But then these things take years to build perhaps your right perhaps I missed something.

But on the subject of stupid British tea, go have sex with yourself.

[bittemeinrammstein]

lol the Kuznetsov is fuck modern you dumbshit... it has MODERN tech. on board you dumbass fucking retard XD

again... your a dumbshit... stupid fucking brit... your americas bitch XD

[cr9527]

Minsk:

4 Steam turbines 140,000shp

58km/h

12 fighter air crafts, 20 helicopters

Nimitz:

2 nuclear reactor 260,000shp

56km/h

90 fighter air crafts or helicopter

Same level?

[TheCharlie359]

Is that why the Brits still have their carriers in commission and the Russian ones are amusement parks in China? Kievs were definatly powerful and impressive ships but are no longer in service and the Admiral Kuznetsov while being the biggest carrier in the world after US supercarriers is just not in the same leauge, it carrys less than half the aircraft of a Nimitz, just because 1 cynical idiot Brit gets his facts wrong dont mean we are all that way so lay off with your anti British commets!

[mattmatt115]

The brits dont have all their carriers. They've decommissioned many. What the Kuznetsov lacks in aircraft, it makes up for in supersonic carrier killing cruisemissiles and its 192 ready to launch SAM's plus 8+ Kashtan systems and Aegis style command/control and detection systems.

The ship is by far not out of date, and would slaughter a british carrier, considering the shortcommings of the Harrier and the lack of SSM's on the Invincible class.

British carriers are complete garbage.

[MBoyd00000]

I saw this recently. Like many tourist spots in China there are bizarre things that don't really go with the attraction. He missed showing you "The Time Machine." Yes it's called that. It has cheap mannequins from Chinese history (Including the recent film Red Cliff) fighting each other when you walk thru a hall and activate the motion sensor. After 5-6 scenes it becomes like an American haunted house and finally ends with a Buddha shrine. Then there's a Star Tours rip off below deck!

[81redstar]

It reminds me the battleship new jersy and other carriers in USA which are being used for display.

[fredgt28]

Dude, you got something on your nose.....

[bear2247]

thats a sad way for a ship to end up

[CelestialKindred]

What is the good way? End up in a molting pot?

[bear2247]

sink it as a man made reef or scrap it is better then ending up as a tourist attraction

[harper277]

I went there too, it was a great day I loved the Mi-Mil 24 hinds and the shaking floor in the battle simulation.

[StansVision]

блять какой кошмар

Минск же гойдаро-ельцино-чубайцы продали

....предательство и позор,какой позор.........................­...........................

[hudge28]

I got to see a MiG 23 this year. Impressive. And from friends who have flown against and flown in the MiG-29, that was no surprise. The Soviet Navy may have been without effective carrier based aircraft, but their SSMs made up for a lot. They range,speed and payload were a real danger to any adversary. Much of the Russian surface fleet is very outdated but their submarines to be respected, very much so for the Akula,Oscar,Sierra and Victor IIIs.

[AndraxxusNephilem]

I actually loved its internal. Simple, easy to maintain, easy to use, easy to repair if damaged. I find all lcd warship/submarine bridge designs more than amusing, one missile/depth charge, lcds go boom with the shake. Then what? your ship is in a good shape but cannot even control its helm. WTF?

[AndraxxusNephilem]

that "antiquated piece of shit" still works after 35 years, and that ship is still equivalent to half a dozen british destroyers, in terms of overall firepower and reliability. Interesting isn't it?

[Crash900s]

Rather the reason they don't give you a tour is that you can't speak chinese.

[siewcheitming]

i hope china copy and produce their own carrier

[SovietWarrior]

The only "antiquated piece of shit" this Britfag will ever find is the Britfagian Challenger, which should have been decommissioned back in the 70:s already.

[Narutovbleach]

the Kiev class was actually technically a heavy aviation cruiser, but good video, and yeah that missile did look like a thunderbirds prop lol

[Lumotaku]

the minsk was a shitty vtol carrier. Thanks for posting this video i found it very fascinating including the 1950s soviet electronics mixed with the 70s western stuff.

[shirley0302]

Have been there once, and do not find any special.

[HunterX78]

Good video

i want to go there

[ringer1983]

Been there done that it is one hell of a nice place :)

[atkwswu]

clearly you dont like it, and ill assume thats what you thought even before you arrived, so your wasting you time and ours by showing us this crap......what a FUCKING moron......ty for wasting even 30 seconds of my time

[micro90]

No I'd thoroughly recommend it. The ship is not in best working order because it was decommission 15 years ago. Have you tried Alan Partridges tape on relaxing ?

[Harregarre]

It's British humour. You either love it or you don't. I kinda like the sarcastic stuff...Monty Python-ish/Bean-ish humour. But perhaps my comment isn't really worth anything to you atkwswu. From your profile page I noticed you tend to hate everything non-Chinese so perhaps it's just your problem. (That's probably how you ended up watching this video in the first place, right? To leave an amazing comment on this "horrible" video, right?)

[hplohish]

Whats with breathing? Do you have asthma? Or you just obese.

[micro90]

lol

[Harregarre]

People tend to inhale something we like to call "oxygen". This is not solely for aesthetic reasons. No! On the contrary, research has shown that it serves a vital function in the human body. This "oxygen" stuff seems to be taken in through either the mouth or the nose, goes down the throat into the lungs from which it then departs upwards and leaves the human body through either the mouth or nose again. Scientists believe it's impossible for humans to live without breathing. What do you think?

[gnrdude]

wonder if he ever Found his way out...?
