Construction of a new heavy-duty icebreaker of a new generation, the development of Russia's first industrial fast-neutron reactor with a capacity of 1200 megawatts, and the physical launch of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear station.
The brand new US Navy ship has been stuck in Canadian ice all winter and between these two Arctic nations, they are unable to free it

Brand new U.S. warship starts journey home after 3 months trapped In the Canadian ice

 
That's true. Thanks for posting that.

Also only Russia has been flying into space and giving a ride to Americans, Canadians and whoever else wants to join.
 
In the late '50s, the US built NS Savannah, a nuclear powered cargo vessel to showcase peaceful uses of nuclear power. In service for only 10 yeas because it was economically unfeasible. In the early to mid '70, it was docked along the Cooper River near Charleston, SC. Going up and down that river to the NWS in Goose Creek, I saw it several times, heavily rusted, slightly listing and still carry its depleted nuclear fuel.

Of the four nuclear powered cargo ships built by the US, Germany, Japan, and Russia, only the Russian 'Sevmorput' remained in service past the 70's.

I posted it as a proof how well developed Russia's economy is.

It is something wrong in the US economy if it has no money for such important vessels

Other than scientific research what would we need em for?

They aren't research vessels. They unblock ports that are iced in ... very useful in Russia that has no warm-water ports. Useless to the US where none of our major ports are iced in winter.

Exactly my point.
Pretty much worthless to the U.S.

But our models show that global warming made the Arctic ice free in 2015

It appears the Russians don't take Al Gore very seriously

Also, Arctic is an US-Free zone, good to know
 
if USSR/Russia/economy etc are so great, how come they collapsed ??

Due to the second biggest traitor in human history after Judas Iscariot.
The completely dumb moron was cheated by everybody and helped to kill own country.
