That is something that everyone does. That's not a problem. The problem is when they're stripped to sell the wiring for vodka and home heating oil and reported as still serviceable.
i don't think you know what youre talking about... reserve units in america are things, yknow kept in RESERVE. yeah sometimes we take reserve vehicles and strip them for parts but we change them from being reserve to being either decom or partially decom.
@HYpr1337time correct. During wartime especially, things will constanty reshuffling from active, active/ready reserve, reserve, storage/boneyard. Active reserve is often the stuff near the front lines that will be shuffled forward into use at a moment's notice OR have parts stripped out to keep other units operational while waiting for a shipment of parts that hasn't quite arrived yet. The US, the masters of the supply/sustainment chain, don't have to cannibalize theoretically ready to go units as often as others, but it does happen.
They did have 3 Slava class cruisers. one of them, the Moskva, is now at the bottom of the Black Sea after being damaged by a "accidental fire" on board and sinking during a "storm" while they tried towing it back to Sevastopol.
Read the readyness report of that particular vessel, it's hair raising. Any western navy captain that put to sea with a report like that would be court marshaled.
Update to the Russian aircraft carrier the Russians decided last month to scrap the aircraft carrier and they sent the crew to the front lines in Ukraine
@habitual_linecrosser I want to say it was about four or five weeks ago we're on the same time the 155th Marine force of the Russians navy were sent to kurse
HLC, when talking about Russias numbers, the correct terminology should be, “THEY HAD” instead of have. Because, yeah they have donated a lot of equipment to the Ukrainian scrapper brigades.
There's an ancient video game called SAM Simulator made by 1 Hungarian dude. Trying to find and lock a plane with a Shilka is like trying to find and lock a housefly with your eye while looking through a drinking straw. And trying to find a Cessna in the game (think about a big drone) is almost impossible. I can't imagine trying to find and lock a NATO plane in that thing before getting hit by a missile.
It's a status symbol. Putin cannot tolerate not being in the "club" of carrier operators. It's like China's carriers. Important countries have carriers, therefore China will operate carriers. Regardless of how useless and expensive it is to operate them.
The damn thing is so terrible that we might be able to consider it one of our ships due to the amount of manpower and attention Russia has to give to it. They would be better off without it. As it currently stands, its existence actually hurts the Russian Navy.

North Koreans have seen ships... But I'm pretty sure the crappiest rowboat in our military is way nicer than their houses. Also - the Su-27, 30, 33, and 35 are all variants of the same plane. The MiG 25 and 31 are essentially the same. It's easier to think about when you lump the similar ones together, but less impressive when you detail losses. ETA: Oh, and the MiG 35 is just a modernized MiG-29 And the Kirov class cruisers are pretty badass. They just don't know how to do naval air defense, so it has essentially become a barge full of explosives just waiting to be hit by something.

US Patriot System has its DNA in the 1950s in the ABM systems, and you find the last gasps of the ABM systems using the first phased array doppler system used in targeting Re-Entry Vehicles in the first and last Proof Test of the Nike Zeus ABM System. Also the first Doppler Weather Radar scanning the last hours of Hurricane Camille in 1969.
Russians have -1 Carriers… the Kuznetsov is so bad that it deserves a negative value… having the Kuznetsov is worse than having no carrier at all because attempting to keep her afloat draws resources away from building a carrier that isn’t the Kuznetsov.
Prichal 33 is typically called Vladivostok. And I want to say I’ve heard Udaloy pronounced you da loy. Don’t quote me I’m just out here sailing the seas sometimes. Keep up the good work, love the videos.
Hey HC, I really love these videos cause you give a decent and entertaining list of military equipment of the specific nation. A nation im not very educated on is Spain. I think it would be a cool nation for you to do.
Great video as always HLC! Check out Ward Carrolls video on the Kuznetsov. He was an F14 RIO and has great stories from meeting the Kuznetsov. From his video you get the picture of how bad that ship really is. All the best from Austria!
0:50 I always thought that the 120 guns per 100 people was funny because it was always compared to the amount of bicycles in the netherlands where we have 133 bikes ber 100 people, so more bikes than you have guns, honestly a ridicilous stat, I always like to image an american with a gun wall but its just bikes. Just rooms and rooms of bikes😂
It's honestly a much funnier and, unhinged, view of someone's collection. Just one dude with 75 bikes mounted on walls, all in one very large room that's also his office.
@@alexwilliams7836 I actually met someone like that once!!! it was my first job where we would walk around neighborhoods and offer free lawn care quotes, and one guys house was just bicycles. he had dozens of them and some were those old timey ones with giant wooden front wheels. he was super creepy and i was 16 so i just got out of there fast because the vibes were OFF
These are always cool to watch, if I could make 1 suggestion and not sure how hard it would be, but when listing things like how much they have deployed/stored/total is there a way to put the numbers on the screen not a big thing either way but having a visual might help to get a sense of scale especially with units lost, at a glance. Still love all the content
I'd rather expect the term is 'commissioned.' A ship will typically sail a number of times to ensure that everything works the way it's supposed to before the navy accepts it from the ship builder. A ship is commissioned when it formally enters service; a ship that leaves service is decommissioned.
9:26 the “cool” thing about Russian cruisers is their design doctrine is literally “fire everything all at once, go home and rearm” It’s the very definition of “throw enough shit at the wall and eventually some of it will stick.” And it’s just such a Russian thing

Love these videos man. These theoretical battles is something a friend and i came up with long long ago and youve put it in video form. Alsp for the canadian one, yeah the comments are accurate. We could've gone pro if our politicians didnt f everything up
Funny thing about the Shilka: early versions were susceptible to ammo cook-offs. The guns would get so hot that chambered rounds would fire even if the operator didn't pull the trigger... then a new round would be chambered automatically. You can guess what happens next. This problem was fixed on the ZSU-23-4M.
The thing about the russian aircraft carrier is they dont actually have a port big enough to accommodate it. So they have to run the engines nonstop to power the ship. So while the ship may have a low number if miles it has more hours on it than a cam girls vibrator.
Regarding the "Russian" Navy. I've yet to check how many subs they have fielded since 1991, but all of the ships you have mention are Soviet era. Every single of them. Which means Russia's most up-to-date designs date back 34 years or more. At least their surface navy. They are laying submarine hulls at the moment, but given the fact that their precious "doomsday" submarine, the "Belgorod" not only took nearly 30 years to complete but she spent a decade moored at a sub bunker without crew or maintenance I wouldn't hold my breath as to its effectiveness. The Russian Black Sea Fleet currently holds the record of being defeated by the poorest country in Europe, which has no seagoing warships of any kind.
@@alexcovey1200 Not really. The world, unlike us, have all these language barriers and such and untold amounts of logistics they need to think of. Meanwhile our logistics is more or less better than all of there's. Our navy would be the deciding factory in this. We go to the middle east, take out the oil supply lines for most of the world, and it becomes a battle of attrition. Our navy would literally harass and bully everyone until the world surrenders. Although the economy, well everyone's economy, would be a shit show.
Technically, Russia's aircraft carrier is actually a 'cruiser carrier' as aircraft carriers are banned from traveling between the Turkish straights, which is how they got it out of the Black sea as it is am 'aircraft capable cruiser' becuase wordplay can get you far....apparently.
Hey HLC, could you please do a video on the THAAD? There doesn’t seem to be much reputable information on it that I could find & I’m curious about it after a system was sent to Israel. I’m also interested in how it (& other non-Israeli) could possibly be fitted into Israel’s existing air defense onion. Edit: also, how does the US join its systems with those of other nations that are semi/not compatible with US systems?
As a former Russian linguist in the Army, I will say that the Russian language is SO consonant based. They put consonants together so much they have letters that are literally multiple digraphs (multiple consonants making one sound). And because I learned to read and write in Cyrillic from the start, I absolutely LOATHE transliteration (when they replace another language's letters with English ones.) I'd have an easier time figuring out pronunciations for you if I saw the Cyrillic.
I’ve had to translate Cyrillic to English and back for video games and it’s such a pain that I have a made version of how to pronounce the Cyrillic letters that make up fake words that I just memorize so it was easier to make a 3rd language than to translate every time

US Patriot System has its DNA in the 1950s in the ABM systems, and you find the last gasps of the ABM systems using the first phased array doppler system used in targeting Re-Entry Vehicles in the first and last Proof Test of the Nike Zeus ABM System. Also the first Doppler Weather Radar scanning the last hours of Hurricane Camille in 1969.
Russian artyllery names are mainly flowers.
Rapira - Rapier
Coalitcia - Coalition
Giatsinty - Hyacinth (Flower)
Akatsiya - Acacia (Tree/Flower)
Gvozdika - Carnation (Flower)
Tyulpan - Tulip (Flower)
Pion - Peony (Flower)
But hearing HLC trying to pronounce it, was fun.
Russians have -1 Carriers… the Kuznetsov is so bad that it deserves a negative value… having the Kuznetsov is worse than having no carrier at all because attempting to keep her afloat draws resources away from building a carrier that isn’t the Kuznetsov.
F-35 to the F-22 when they spot a MIG:" Wanna split it?" "Yeah... dibs on the big piece."
Hi HLC, thank you for the entertainment, education and educated opinions you provide. You are my favourite international news source.😊
Prichal 33 is typically called Vladivostok. And I want to say I’ve heard Udaloy pronounced you da loy. Don’t quote me I’m just out here sailing the seas sometimes. Keep up the good work, love the videos.
Hey HC, I really love these videos cause you give a decent and entertaining list of military equipment of the specific nation. A nation im not very educated on is Spain. I think it would be a cool nation for you to do.
Crosser my man, that FAFO shirt is badass! I gotta nab one and make a pew-thrown
Great video as always HLC! Check out Ward Carrolls video on the Kuznetsov. He was an F14 RIO and has great stories from meeting the Kuznetsov. From his video you get the picture of how bad that ship really is. All the best from Austria!
These are some of my favorite videos
0:50 I always thought that the 120 guns per 100 people was funny because it was always compared to the amount of bicycles in the netherlands where we have 133 bikes ber 100 people, so more bikes than you have guns, honestly a ridicilous stat, I always like to image an american with a gun wall but its just bikes. Just rooms and rooms of bikes😂
I'm English! Legally, I'm only allowed a teaspoon room.😔
Just out of curiosity do you know how distributed the bikes are? Because in the us it’s only about a third of Americans who own any guns
It's honestly a much funnier and, unhinged, view of someone's collection. Just one dude with 75 bikes mounted on walls, all in one very large room that's also his office.
@@alexwilliams7836 I actually met someone like that once!!! it was my first job where we would walk around neighborhoods and offer free lawn care quotes, and one guys house was just bicycles. he had dozens of them and some were those old timey ones with giant wooden front wheels. he was super creepy and i was 16 so i just got out of there fast because the vibes were OFF
There’s been times in my life where I had twice as many guns as I did years on this earth.
HLC is a fable fan. hell yeah brother!!
These are always cool to watch, if I could make 1 suggestion and not sure how hard it would be, but when listing things like how much they have deployed/stored/total is there a way to put the numbers on the screen not a big thing either way but having a visual might help to get a sense of scale especially with units lost, at a glance. Still love all the content
HLC vs Russian names for stuff is better than most comedy specials
The Arlington had it's Maiden voyage, is the term you were looking for. Learned that yesterday from a dude with space-tism.
I'd rather expect the term is 'commissioned.' A ship will typically sail a number of times to ensure that everything works the way it's supposed to before the navy accepts it from the ship builder. A ship is commissioned when it formally enters service; a ship that leaves service is decommissioned.

@Octa9on let me guess. You despised George Bush but now love all his policies
9:26 the “cool” thing about Russian cruisers is their design doctrine is literally “fire everything all at once, go home and rearm”
It’s the very definition of “throw enough shit at the wall and eventually some of it will stick.” And it’s just such a Russian thing

Love these videos man. These theoretical battles is something a friend and i came up with long long ago and youve put it in video form. Alsp for the canadian one, yeah the comments are accurate. We could've gone pro if our politicians didnt f everything up
I've been waiting for this one! Hell yeah bubba!
Former Airborne I was getting ready to come out with the knife hands. But nah, that description was apt.
I've been waiting for this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funny thing about the Shilka: early versions were susceptible to ammo cook-offs. The guns would get so hot that chambered rounds would fire even if the operator didn't pull the trigger... then a new round would be chambered automatically. You can guess what happens next.
This problem was fixed on the ZSU-23-4M.
This stuff is very interesting, I want to see people do other countries versus the world now, maybe Poland versus the world.
The GMOD no clip sound when he struggled to pronounce the name of the destroyer was great. Perfect use.
" Buff; Ahhh, so they got a new shipment of wood screws to put together a few more SU-57's". F-22 "You want to intercept me, I'd intercept me".🤤

The thing about the russian aircraft carrier is they dont actually have a port big enough to accommodate it. So they have to run the engines nonstop to power the ship. So while the ship may have a low number if miles it has more hours on it than a cam girls vibrator.
Regarding the "Russian" Navy.
I've yet to check how many subs they have fielded since 1991, but all of the ships you have mention are Soviet era. Every single of them. Which means Russia's most up-to-date designs date back 34 years or more. At least their surface navy.
They are laying submarine hulls at the moment, but given the fact that their precious "doomsday" submarine, the "Belgorod" not only took nearly 30 years to complete but she spent a decade moored at a sub bunker without crew or maintenance I wouldn't hold my breath as to its effectiveness.
The Russian Black Sea Fleet currently holds the record of being defeated by the poorest country in Europe, which has no seagoing warships of any kind.
I know it's out of HLC's wheelhouse, but I can't be the only one wanting a video like this for Finland + Poland vs. Russia.
When are we gonna get USA Vs. The World; the rest of Humanity

@@HeWhoMurksWithOneLeap in think it would finally be a fair fight.
@@alexcovey1200 Not really. The world, unlike us, have all these language barriers and such and untold amounts of logistics they need to think of. Meanwhile our logistics is more or less better than all of there's. Our navy would be the deciding factory in this. We go to the middle east, take out the oil supply lines for most of the world, and it becomes a battle of attrition. Our navy would literally harass and bully everyone until the world surrenders. Although the economy, well everyone's economy, would be a shit show.
@Telegenicjam303 the capitalist us path should be banned since it gives them an unfair advantage in mp coop
You continue to post and I'll continue to watch in amusement. Deal?
Technically, Russia's aircraft carrier is actually a 'cruiser carrier' as aircraft carriers are banned from traveling between the Turkish straights, which is how they got it out of the Black sea as it is am 'aircraft capable cruiser' becuase wordplay can get you far....apparently.
See also the Japanese 'helicopter destroyers' that operate F-35s.
Love these videos. Gives me a good laugh.
Hey HLC, could you please do a video on the THAAD? There doesn’t seem to be much reputable information on it that I could find & I’m curious about it after a system was sent to Israel. I’m also interested in how it (& other non-Israeli) could possibly be fitted into Israel’s existing air defense onion.
Edit: also, how does the US join its systems with those of other nations that are semi/not compatible with US systems?
As a former Russian linguist in the Army, I will say that the Russian language is SO consonant based. They put consonants together so much they have letters that are literally multiple digraphs (multiple consonants making one sound). And because I learned to read and write in Cyrillic from the start, I absolutely LOATHE transliteration (when they replace another language's letters with English ones.) I'd have an easier time figuring out pronunciations for you if I saw the Cyrillic.
Yeah that’s a job for AI
I’ve had to translate Cyrillic to English and back for video games and it’s such a pain that I have a made version of how to pronounce the Cyrillic letters that make up fake words that I just memorize so it was easier to make a 3rd language than to translate every time
Go airborne they said. Get your wings, enjoy the back and knee pain
