1. While not a military vehicle, it degrades Russia’s naval capability.

2. How important is thats ship? Military wise?

3. Why does this just look like steam to me. I guess there are a couple “red” trucks on site. Guys in video don’t look terribly concerned though.

4. twas cold, needed cigarette.

5. Not Yermak. A ship with that name was launched in 1898 then scrapped in 1964 according to wiki.

6. That’s one hell obnoxious watermark.

   What caught fire?

7. We don’t need no water let the….

8. Someone forgot to make the protection payment last month.

9. Even ice is flamamble in Mordor, hot hot hot.

10. I have tears …but I am not really sad!

11. That’s just a Russian ship in its natural habitat.

12. “icebreaker”

13. Well that ain’t good. Those are nuclear powered.

14. i’m no expert, but i don’t think you break ice with fire :O

15. Case of spontaneous combustion on board the Yermak in sympathy with all of those lost vessels of the Black Sea Fleet.

16. It’s always a great day when something of russia’s is on fire.

17. damn i just saw this ship in a completely unrelated video yesterday and saw it was russian thinking “wonder if that will burn too” and here we are

18. Water drones should begin operating on the northern fleet

19. Btw…. some news got it wrong. That is NOT a nuclear driven icebreaker. Thats a normal dieselelectric ship

    Probably the US News got it wrong because they did not find an english webpage for a recherche. Wikipages exist only in Italian, German and Russian.

20. Assuming no shore power here either.

21. Another ruzzian ship burning. Excellent

22. is this one nuke powered or just runs diesels?

23. Is this one of their nuclear ice breakers?

24. Always nice, these side events.

25. Do not worry comrades, it is just  coal burners starting up for great voyage around motherland
