The Russians didn't even bother fully repairing the ship the last time it was in drydock. Didn't take much to turn the over glorified rust bucket into scrap metal after that.

The Merlin engine was on average more reliable than the german DB 603/605 engines which suffered from lubrication problems. Some of the problems was caused by sabotage from the slave workers though. The DB engines were superior performance wise due to having the fuel injection systems and forced induction engines in early war but the reliability was not stellar. Finnish air force pilots were forbidden to use the war emergency power and the water methanol injection system in order to increase engine life with the very limited resources they had.

[@davidcolin6519]

@tileux I am aware of Port Arthur, and its place in Russian history. And I am also aware of its position and strategic importance. However, it was only dominant at a time when there really wasn't any competition in the North Pacific. As soon as Russia needed a modern fleet there, it had to be sent half way around the world because Russia had no ship building capacity there. The battle of the Tsushima Strait reads like a book on precisely how NOT to prepare for battle, and eversince, the Russian navy has been almost comical in its ineptitude. Dominating the Baltic, in which shallow beams are more important than almost anything else, is not at all like trying to run a deep water navy, and Tsushima proved it. Thank you for the comment though, I had forgotten the Russian Baltic Fleet.

[@I_Don_t_want_a_handle]

@tileux Yes, IIRC Sevastopol is Russia's only all year round naval base. It's one of the reasons why they want the Crimea.

[@christianfournier6862]

@tileux= The Royal Navy of Great-Britain has been organized as a permanent fleet by the mid-XIIth century. But its title as the oldest Navy is debatable, since the Venetian, Pisan, and Genovese Navies were organized from the IXth to the XIth century - and they have later been incorporated into the Royal Navy of the Kingdom of Italy. The Royal Navies of the Kingdoms of Portugal and Spain were created in the XIVth and XVth centuries respectively. The Navy of the United Provinces Republic (ancestor of the Dutch Royal Navy) was organized at the end of the XVIth century. The French Kingdom has had a “Royal Corps of Galleys” since 1410 (but those galleys were privately owned in the service of the King); Cardinal de Richelieu transformed in 1624 this Corps into a permanent Royal Navy of the Kingdom of France. Organized in 1696 (end of XVIIth c.) under Peter-the-Great, the Russian Imperial Navy is at best the seventh oldest, not accounting for Navies of other continents (among which the Imperial Chinese Navy which exists since the XIIth c.). __ .

The Russians really are into keeping traditions.

how many ships named Moscwa can ''hide'' in the Black Sea bottom?.... we should make a game around it...

That's interesting...I play World of Warships and have a Moskva....always getting sunk no mater where I place her...she's a target. I now understand why. I hope I have sub'd to all your channels? They hit all my interest, space, mystery, history and a few others. I do try to keep up, but enjoy looking for your new content.

[@im4broke643]

@@tsugumorihoney2288 You obviously do not have a tier ship that is focused by enemy. Un-contested a Moskva is deadly. But everyone can see the ship line-up when entering and communicate. A "noob" would reach this level and choose such a ship, they would pick safety first, not a glass cannon. I play this Moskva reasonably well and along with several other high tier ships. I've been at this since WoWS started.

The Hurricane shot down more German aeroplanes than anything else we had in the Battle of Britain.Without the Hurricane we would all be goose stepping down the road to the shops!

« It Happened Here »1966 movie by Kevin Brownlow. ………………………………………. The Hurricane frame was so sturdy that in the Western desert 🏜 in 1942 it was fitted with 40mm X 2 cannons for tank-busting.

[@Munakas-wq3gp]

Despite that the Hurricane was considered a pretty poor plane. It was slow, especially in a dive due to the fat leading edge of the wing, didn't turn too good and it had a fuel tank right in front of the pilot. One hit to the tank doused the pilot with gasoline so that gives some perspective to why so many stories of horribly burned pilots exist from the battle of britain. The FAF flew the brewster buffalo which is considered to be the worst fighter of WW2 by some, yet it was totally superior to the hurricane. It could outturn, outdive and outgun the hurricane mk I. The mk2 with the 4x hispano cannons was of course way superior in firepower. Even then, hurricanes with hispanos often couldn't fire the cannons in turn fights due to the g-forces jamming up the cannons which only a mechanic could fix on the ground.

"In the early hours of June 26, 1940...". Shouldn't that read, "In the early hours of June 26, 1941..."? Thanks.

[@holgernarrog962]

The early Hawker Hurricane as delivered to Romania was not better than the He 112 and not better at all than the Me 109F variant used in mid 41.

[@forresttm]

He didj say better. He said more reliable. There is a difference.

[@holgernarrog962]

@@forresttm The Messerschmidt E model was evaluated as very reliable by the Swiss. I assume it is the same for the F model. The later G-models with the later DB 605 engines were built in small factories by less qualified workers designed for 30h only.

[@petercollingwood522]

@@forresttm The Hurricane was most definately not more reliable than the 109. The only thing it had going for it was easier ground handling beacuse of it's wider undercarriage. I could also turn inside the 109 but that was not a war winning ability. I had an uncle who was a Hurricane pilot in North Africa. He flew Spitifires later in the war as well.

[@markgarin6355]

Considering what the condition was of the borrowed ship returned to the UK after WWII....they don't deserve to have naval vessels.

[@MISTERLeSkid]

Watching this is a bit confusing now because I don't know who to cheer for anymore. I was born in the 60s so when I was a boy, Russians were the bad guys. Then after the wall came down, they became our friends. I also learned that Russia was instrumental in defeating the nazis and ending WWII, even though they sided with Hitler at the beginning of hostilities. And since they invaded Ukraine, we're back to hating them again. To make things even more complicated, I married a Russian girl in the 90s lol (she hates Putin too).

So the russians have now lost two prized naval vessels, both named Moskva and both sunk in the Black Sea. As the final line in the song Rasputin goes, "Oh, those russians" 😅

Romania's coastal defenses were probably helped when the Germans captured the Crimea.

The date is wrong. Its not 1940, its 1941
