I have read several articles that Russian naval ships are not very high quality or very reliable. True or not? There is a Russian fleet visiting Venezuela and I wondered how many will drop out during the long trip.
One of them is the largest warship in the world. It is also fairly modern. (built in 1999 IIRC) I would think that they will make it just fine.
Althought the Russian Federation has cut expenses on his military that doesn´t mean that they do not maintain their best pieces of equipment in good shape.
Former Soviet and now Russian vehicles/ships/equipment/etc are known for its reliability and easy maintenance (if the money and spare parts are aviable of course).
Since the las years the Russians have started to upgrade their military into what we could call weastern standars and thats something to keep an eye on. They might be moving slowly but they are moving.
Consider this, the trip of the Russian Armada to Venezuela was a proof of might, certainly they would send their best in order to impress the right people, dont you think? Best regards
