>China has to decorate their ships with pictures of the Royal Navy because chicoms have no naval prestige of their own
Embarrassing. You would never see any other country's navy doing this.

Didn't they have a navy of all time during WWI/WWII?
They just call it a reef now.
Nope. They were still getting over all that delicious, British heroin.
All of the competent sailors sided with the KMT, and they're persona non grata as far as the mainlanders are concerned.
Shame too, I seem to recall like one or two ships that managed to survive the war somehow. They also had pretty good frogmen that were trained by the OSS during the war.
>persona non grata
Pretty sure if they offered the PLAN would have no problem reincorporating them or at least paying them for all their expertise. They already bribe Taiwanese semiconductor experts.
>imagine providing succour to communists
The Taiwan/PRC divide is less hardcore ideological and more a matter of sovereignty. Taiwan was under a dictatorship for decades, but at least it was their dictatorship.
It's a matter of autonomy more than anything, the people of Taiwan want to decide their own future under whichever government they choose for themselves. If they became full communist tomorrow, they still wouldn't want to be ruled from Beijing, kind of like Vietnam.
Chinese people can't swim
>persona non grata
Not really, if anything the KMT is actually one of the friendlier parties to the mainland since they both agree that Taiwan is part of China.
Mao was hiding in the mountains for all of WW2.
They had like 5 different navies before 1st sino-japanese war that got btfo'd even though on paper they were superior. They probably had some coastal defense stuff in 20th century but it was the nationalists.
Russian propaganda posters feature people that fought against their savage uneducated rapist hordes all the time. That is natural result of using uneducated savages make propaganda.
That is tongue in the cheek liberal arts student answer to Russian regime.
Many such cases. Soviet art people especially writers for example Strugatsky brothers did allegorical texts critical to Soviet regime.
Wait is that soldier a nazi soldier? Fin soldier?
Finn.
It's a Finn. He's carrying a Suomi M/31 which closely resembles Soviet submachine guns of the era (picrel) not least because the Soviets were using the Suomi's design as a reference point (and they just flat out copied its drum magazine). So using that photo would be a forgivable mistake except his uniform looks nothing like what the Red Army wore.
You oughta post the highlight reel.
Jeez Russians are so obsessed about reliving WW2 yet know nothing about it
its more a case of civilian contractors being told to make propaganda pieces while knowing frick all about the military, case in point this and that one poster of the US airforce using Migs
In OP picture there is a paragraph on the wall under the picture that talks about the "Malvinas Archipelago War".
It's clearly intended to be an educational poster about naval history. /k/edditors taking things out of context as usual.
What is that disgusting headline? That has to be some ESL outsourcing or something.
>covering your ships with pictures and capabilities of enemy ships
Unironically based and always training pilled.
This. Never stop learning about your enemy. NATO and friends should learn more about Chinese capabilities and train to combat them. In particular their penchant for eating civilians during sieges. Makes sieges something to look for to depopulate China.
>eating civilians
You really want to become patient zero for some new super kuru-sars-aids?
This, you never know when you might have to go up against the 1980s Royal Navy in some kind of time travelling scenario.
Literally an educational infographic.
The Falklands are the only serious naval confrontation to happen in recent memory.
This website is lowest common denominator I swear.
I've seen stickers with Russian tanks and aircraft used as decoration at my MEPS in the US. One of my sergeants also had a poster for the office but it was of British soldiers.
dont mind me just copin sum cigs
is that a shot from some comedy heist movie? he dresses like that to pretend to be some rich widow socialite to gain access to the bank vault, yeah?
to be fair, the russian babushkas in the background don't look much more feminine than he does
Oh damn, now I get it. All those babushkas thinking I was a girl is because a 190cm hairy ogre man is prettier than the average USSR woman.
Am I glad we got rid of that and for a short while we got pretty girls before Putin took over and outlawed hot bawds.
They're very fond of the british naval campaign in the Faklands since It was the last naval war on top of being an amphibious operation, thus there are many lessons they can learn from (hint: Taiwan)
I didn't know China had a warship that participated in the Falklands war.
This is them trying to remind Argentina about tge falklands (not that they ever got over it)
Chyna isn't going to attack Taiwan, they're going to have their own Falklands in Southeast Asia.
They're going to test and bully smaller and weaker SEA c**ts like the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, etc.
America and the West would not care one bit if any of those countries suddenly get bombed by the PLA.
I would imagine you might have some reference images of other country's ships just so you know what you're looking at if they meet. Well, at least the US would since I think our fleets go fricking everywhere, not sure China needs to know anything outside the Pacific do they?
what the actual frick is that title
and stop posting clickbait AI written news site screencaps, moron
I mean, the Royal Navy is the classic Naval model to follow, anon. Didn't Japan heavily use British consultants from the Royal Navy in pre-WW2?
Yeah the Russians got super butthurt about it after Tsushima because there was a royal navy advisor aboard one of the Japanese ships
