    turns out kamikaze bombs are OP once you learn how to recycle 100% of pilot
  • Can I just say, having an inset map for wider context on the Sevastopol Bay map at 4:27 was quite nice. Well done.

    Large blue water navies are completely different than those of the Mediterranean and other shallow waters. Drones have potential, but the Atlantic and Pacific are huge. Drones do not have the range, speed, or durability to go after enemies in the deep blue.
  • Turkey, "We are closing the Bosporus for all warships." Russia, "To protect Ukraine?" Turkey, "No, to protect you."
  • The Russian Navy is not being defeated in the Black Sea, their sailors are simply engaging in a special crab feeding operation.

    16:19 Just a quick correction. I don't believe it's "Necessity is the mother of all inventions. I believe it's "Necessity is the mother of invention."

    A funny thing, and also a scientific fact: Due to the very low oxygen levels found at the seabed of the Black Sea, organic materials have a very low rate of decay. Meaning that we can see wooden ships from the Hellenic period, 400BC. Because of that, the flag on the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet should be flying for a few decades.

    Taiwan needs to accelerate making lots of sea-baby-type drones.
  • @SiliciumCorp
    Thank you for all of this high quality content you produce on your channel sir !
  • @saffer4774
    The fact that when speaking about Snake Island "Russian warship go fuck yourself" wasn't mentioned is unacceptable.
  • The most terrifying thing you can hear at sea. A 9 volt rc boat .

    The idea that because something can be destroyed means it is now obsolete keeps coming up in relation to the war in Ukraine. But that's not really how things become obsolete. Warships offer extremely useful capabilities and unless something else can do those jobs better they're not going anywhere. Instead navies will have to invest in protecting those assets.
  • Nearly 600k views when I saw it only a day out and wow. I learned more watching this than I have in years of news coverage. Love the graphics, reminds me of War I go shows of old with red and blue arrows cept... It's now. Wow. Thanks for it.

    Never usually get to hear terms like "cheap $250,000 drones"
