Thank you for the nice photos,

I have a question, I dont know the region very well but why does the Bora have camouflage paint on it?

Its not mush left of the Russian Blacksea Fleet. One cruiser and two destroyers I think (plus many small missileboats and some amf). NATO would have no problem macthing that.

I dont know why people compare Russia with NATO or other countries.NATO is nothing in front of Russia.Russia is super power in the region.

Easily. But why would NATO do that? The Black Sea is small and practically land locked. Lots of ASMs, with little need for major naval presence.

Not to mention that NATO consists of over a dozen countries, while Russia is just one. The combined NATO budget is over 10 times that of Russia. The situation is not only incomparable in nature, but also completely unrealistic.
