The visit is seen as Russia's sabre-rattling, amid tensions with the West over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

You mean to show how fast they can run away?

"Show of force"

We've been watching your show of force for few years now and it's been unremarkable to say the least. A country without a navy has sunk your Black Sea fleet with modified jet skis. Just imagine what a country with navy could do.

The sheer force of will to keep those leaky bastards topside...

Wow, they actually made it, well done russkies! Next, try to get the aircraft carrier work at least a week. That will put the fear into the hearts of every westerner.

Looks like it’s time for Ukrainian Special Forces to go to work.

Maybe they're looking for their missing sub too?

since this has no obvious strategic benefit, I'm starting the rumor that Putin is secretly on board and is going to Cuba for cancer treatment.

Steady hands.

Lol they can't even protect their own ships next to Crimea. Homemade ski-do torpedos get the job done.

Meanwhile they're rocking a small flotilla geographically near the US?

"Oh but they could have nukes" the Russians already have ICBMs, like who tf cares? At this point all they can really do is threaten undersea cables or underwater gas pipelines
