I'm pretty sure these types of Russian Ops are directly approved by the highest levels of Russian command.
Typical "we didn't do nuffin" snowniggers

>that asshole move of overtaking aggressively because the dude in front of you is driving too slow
>then spray water at slowshit faggot behind you so he has to move his hands and activate the wipers, also his car gets dirty
>even on huge warship scale humans do this
fascinating

>be russian speedy little frigate
>fuck with a big US destoryer
>all fun and games until the burke puts the pedal to the medal
>get your ass destoryed, end up sucking chop
>CYKA BLAAAAAAT
>>30470370
this is like 90% of current russian operations.
Part of me thinks Putin is desperately trying to get us to shoot first.

>Destroyer in escort position on an entire CSG, with the carrier probably on a locked course for flight ops or in transit to next flight ops point
>Single Frigate of unknown intent driving like a dumbass
Gee. I wonder who has right of way here.
But it wasn't the Russian ship who cut in front of the US destroyer.
The ship doing the cyka blyat manoeuvre in the video is american.
>>30470713
No, it was the russian ship who was fucking around with the CSG, and the burke who showed that he was much, much faster.
>>30470740
That's what I'm saying.
I wonder what would have happened if that frigate went to fuck around the carier like that.
>>30470713
The Russian ship did the cut off in the second incident
>>30470345
Red white and blue dawn, obviously.
>>30470841
Wouldn't get that close. The Tico or Burkes would head it off before then. Like this one did.
What if they do this enough times that it becomes routine and both crews try to find some fun out of it?

Don't militaries regularly troll each other because boredom?
>>30471471
>"Alexi, is time for test of courage. Fly near Turkish border and hope they don't launch missile"
This kind of stuff by the Russians has been literally going on for years.
>>30470345
>I didn't see a thread.
Because this is happened last week.
>>30471472
Been a bit more than trolling historically.

Yeah, but there's a difference between Bears poking around your airspace and making aggressive-looking manuvers.
I'm inclined to believe that recent events come down to friendly but competitive Russian pilots and crews, looking to show off and not about 'professionalism'. The alternatives aren't pretty.
Its like having 2 cats.
Every morning at 4 AM the 2 little buggers sound like they are killing each other and by 6 AM there is a Huge smelling pile of doodoo in the bin and the 2 little assholes are sleeping next to each other on the couch.
Its like a show, the Media loves it and the sailors get to go home with some fun campfire stories.
They didn't even bump each other and burgers are already whining about it, lol.

Russians actually complained first.

Its like Whale Wars but without the incompetent hippies.

They are incapable of safe navigation. The only problem is that when they tried to show distress the Americans just though they were Serbians.
