They talked about this on the radio today and said it might be serious trouble for Russia's navy. They said the sinking of a dry dock barge in and of its self isnt a major issue..
However Russia has many vessels in need of repair due to years of neglect and due to the fact this dry dock barge was in such bad shape it sunk due to a power failure that their other dry docks could be in worse condition.
Added to this the aircraft carrier now has a big hole in the flight deck, which means it likely needs to go back into dry dock.. but oops it sank..
Meaning it will likely be out of commission for some time, unless they just throw some plywood across the hole....
Putin and Republicans are one in the same.. They love to spend money on new shiny things, but neglect the infrastructure that keeps them afloat.. quite literally in the case..
