Upon closer inspection, she cannot be 18! Surely.
Which makes a couple of those comments further down...well

I must admit, the Baltic fleet always confused me, because if any war with NATO happened, there would be no chance of getting the Baltic fleet into the Med through the Bosporus unless you shuttled it out before the outbreak of war.
Still, can't win them all I guess.

The Russians are coming, I love that film, Whiskey on the Rocks

Anyway, I'm not surprised about the submarine rescue exercise, I mean, no offense but they could do with learning a few things from us.

I think you are confusing the Baltic and Black seas.

Baltic is the one up near Dowly's house.

The only reason for such a big Black Sea fleet is A) Keep NATO in check in that area (Turkish Subs), and B) that is where all the big shipyards are at.

I bet they've got better UK tidal maps than Astute has!

As long the Astute isn't the role model

Another photo of her...

This is a not a Baltic Fleet, this is Black Sea Fleet (write on hat)

Ah, see, either way I win.

Anyway, it's because of the fact that our boats keep crashing into things that we are good at picking them up again.

Conversely, how much data could the Akula pick up on Nato warships etc?

I heard its going to be the Kilo class Alrosa that going to the exercise not an akula.

I dont know how long it has been since any of yall have been 18 but i know plenty of 18 and 19 yr olds who look younger than her.. Also you must consider the fact that tho similar to Europeans and Americans.. Russians are slightly different in appearance than us do to genetic variation.

Stealhead · 04-22-11, 05:40 PM

Without knowing a persons age for sure it can be very hard to tell how old they are. I am 34 years old but have had many people of varying ages some older and some younger than me think that I was as young as 18 which is 16 years off.Many people miss my age by 5 or 6 years which is about reasonable for the average person guessing another persons age.

Both of these girls could be as young as or younger than 18 I'd be very surprised if either of them are over 25 though judging by their apparent rank you can safely assume that they at the most 20 or 21.I dont think that the minor differences are going to make a 40 year old woman look like she is 18.

Also every human being looks different do to genetic variation.

P.S. I kind like the second woman more though dont tell my wife....her parents are from the Ukraine so shed
have my balls for checking out a younger and Russian woman.....
