I agree...being communist in Russia today is so 1984.

In December 7th, technically directed by John Ford but actually made by someone else and stuck with his name, Japanese aircraft are portrayed by American SBDs with meatballs on the wings.

Can you spot them?

Great. I say that there wasn't anything like what started the thread, because I DO watch our TV sometimes, and you keep persuading me that it was as YOUR media says, not as what I saw myself?!

Êîãäà ñòðàíå íóæíû ãåðîè - ïèçäà ðîæàåò ìóäàêîâ. I am speechless.

Anyway, sheep isn't the most intelligent mammal.

No excuse.

What the State-run NTV did to spice-up the news is just embarrassing.

For which the Scots, Irish, and Serbs men are grateful for every single day. And the Greeks would have each other if it were not so.

1) NTV is not state-run.

2) What your media says is just a plain lie.

Now think about who's media is "manipulative".

Look, I can read Western press and watch Western TV, while you guys don't have Russian media availible.

Sort of bypassed this thread.
Am I correct that it was a Reuters screw-up?
Am I correct to assume that the Russians absolutely had the technology and means to send a sub down there, and promptly did so?

Titanic footage shown on NTV was labeled as "Titanic" and was used as an illustration of previous MIR achievements.

No one here ever said that a flag on ocean bottom means anything. The purpose of the project was to take soil samples.

Russia has a fleet of nuclear icebreakers since late-50s. A first surface ship that reached North Pole was "Arktika" in 1977. Now "Rossiya" led a small caravan to the North Pole. MIR probes are capable of submerging to 6.5km depth. The biggest problem now was to find an open-water pool, made by the icebreaker, on the way up to the surface.

Ok. Nice

The first one to cross was Nautilius though?
And the first one to cross on the surface completely?
(Not a return tour, but a crossthrough, - out of my head I think that was done recently)

This is like watching the fat kid get whammied time after time in dodgeball

Boroda, you strike me as a nice guy in real life. Its a shame your worldview is so, so narrow.

While the rest of the planet has moved on, Russia is lingering to re-live the 60s. I would, but I just aint much of a Beatles fan

I don't know, the first one (Soviet) was delivered there on September 14th 1959 at 00:02:24 Moscow time.

Even the measly Finland with population of 5 million has the technology and means to send a sub down there. The very subs the russians used were built in Finland in the 80's

The US Cocom officials didn't believe it either and gave a green light for the project.

Oh yeah, apparently the SU didn't have the technology

LePaul · « **Reply #88 on:** August 15, 2007, 09:14:23 AM »

Is Russia's sense of acheivement that low these days? Dropping a flag in the ocean and calling where it lands a new discovery?

That's sad.

All I see here is a bunch people representing intellectual majority, living in a strange world built by Western media, where Iraq has WMD, Serbs genocide poor Albanians and Russians threaten to conquer the world. And they refuse to listen when they are being told that media lies to them.

Denying that Russian MIR probes reached the ocean bottom is funny. There were Swedish and Australian scientists aboard Mir-2.
