Doesn't Russia have better things to do than saber rattle with Japan.

Russia is going full North Korea!

Good. That's two apartment buildings spared.

My question is, what did the waters off the coast of Japan do to Russia and NK to make them so angry?

Yet another way to tell that Russia is collapsing in on itself.... it starts acting like North Korea. Pretty soon they'll have Russians calling Putin 'Dear Leader'.

The Pacific watching Ruzzia throw missles at it: This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them!

That's a good idea in case Ukraine tries to circle around the globe and counterattack from behind.

Bad attempt at diversion?

A bad attempt at diversion would be if Japan went ahead and sank that thing.

Godzilla

Just saying, the last time the Russian Navy decided to tangle with Japan it didn't go too well for Russia.

It's all fun and games until Godzilla wakes up.

The tale of that expedition is hilarious

8mn, absolutely worth it

A bad attempt would be if the ship had a smoking accident.

Indeed, even badder.

Surprised they have 2 to spare.

It didn’t work for North Korea and it sure as hell isn’t gonna work for your proven pathetic military

Last time Russia did training exercises they went to war

History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man. Blue Oyster Cult

How are they describing off Japan's coast? Read the article and the closest you get to a description is that a Russian sub also practiced with the same model of cruise missile in the Sea of Japan earlier in the month. Which means these ships are coming out of the naval base in Vladivostok which is on the sea of Japan.

Unless the missile landed inside Japanese waters I don't get how this is a news story.

Russia doesn’t do actual training, they just send a shitload of people and equipment to a borderland area as a show of force without actually having the know how to do anything competent other than rush a position and try to hold. A neighboring country has to respect that but if push actually came to shove we find ourselves with the situation in Ukraine. Also this is not to take away from Ukraine’s efforts to prepare for this eventual reality as they prepared themselves as best as they could’ve against their foe knowing their moves a couple plays in advance, kinda like chess…

That was hilarious

Russia stole some islands from Japan north of the mainland after WW2 and their ownership of them was never ratified by post war treaties. Russia offered some of the smaller ones back in exchange for Japan to acknowledge the larger ones belonged to them but Japan turned them down and maintains that they're rightfully Japanese.

With Japan building up the (formerly?) JDF and Russia very much with their hands full and their pockets empty it could be that Russia wants to demonstrate a show of force in the area to deter any attempts for Japan to take back their land.

....not that Russia could even hope to begin to support a fight off their eastern coast...but y'know...Russia and optics and shit.

Sure would be entertaining to watch them try though.

Russia is beyond obnoxious.

Bring on NATO.

Russia is the next North Korea. A hermit kingdom propped up by China

What like sit around and drink Vodka?

You’re talking about that time they sent a fleet halfway across the world, fraught with shenanigans including almost starting a war with Britain, only for the fleet to be promptly sunk once they got to Japan? Right?

Rus: Sorry, forgot to change coordinate after acquired.

Getting closer and closer to North Korea each day...
