Thats the British DragonFire, planned for introduction in 2027, actually moved up from the original 2032 which is a first
The US navy got cooler with the introduction of the Mark 41 VLS, but before that it’s the USSR all the way, the only thing they were lacking was a proper carrier, but the ways they tried to compensate for that were great, mad, but great
idk, Iowa class and CVN’s carried
not to mention the USS Nautilus
US naval aviation just beats everything else
I mean the US navy was better, don’t get me wrong, although the Iowa was just weird imo
and as far as submarines go, the Typhoon is just cool, it’s massive and iconic thanks to The Hunt for Red October, and Soviet cruise missile submarines are great. Theres also the Alfa class which has a special type of nuclear reactor (liquid metal cooled) that basically wouldn’t need refueling for the service life of the boat, and was I think the fasted ever attack submarine at 41+ knots
But yeah, US naval aviation is hard to beat, honestly only the Chinese have come close with the J-15, but they’re still a long ways off
how many aliens have British, Russian, or anyone else battleships curbstomped?
true about the russian subs, they had some really cool ones

Blabla USA have cooler ship in cold war, blabla Russia have cooler ship in cold war…
Love how theses 2 always never talk about cool stuff from other nations. Sad we just don’t made that much cool propaganda movie for ourself in Europe.
Le Redoutable (S611) French SSBN from 1967:
Cool stuff, isn’t it ?

nautilus and typhoon better
Funny name for an American ship, since it’s a French story :p
doesnt make the reactor (which was the first ever on a submarine btw) any less American though
Well i was just talking about the name.
And the first autonomious (not relying on human power) submarine was French
Eh, Britain and France haven’t done much of anything cool navy wise recently, Frances best sub was of course
This beast
It is unfortunate though that there isn’t too much to be exited for, though I am looking forward to seeing the new Dreadnought class SSBNs we’re building, but that’s about 10 years off still
Recently?
You know about the 4 SSBN in the French navy?
Each of them individually displace more than the entire German uboot fleet.

Pretty sure that one wasn’t false because it was wrong info, but because Gaijin saw the backlash and decided not to do that.
The rest of that leak, as well as other leaks from the source seemed to be very accurate. From what I remember only J-10B and J-10B were missing from last update, and they might as well be there this time.
Spoiler
Would be nice to see those added now, they could hype those up in the teaser together with F-2A instead of yet another “US/USSR and maybe a few seconds of one other nation” teaser. J-10B and F-2A could be a nice dynamic akin to F-15/Su-27.
