What makes it better than any other LA class sub?
Come, learn about Russian Culture! Bring Vodka and Ushanka. Interested in Slavic Culture? Fill this out.
Stonk Power! (North) Kosovo is (a de facto part of) Serbia and Crimea is (a de facto part of) Russia
I used pronouns until the mods made using wrong pronouns warnable, so I use names instead; if you see malice there, that's entirely on you, and if pronouns are no longer warnable, I'll go back to using them

Are? They had a impressive officer corps, but they aren't around anymore, and their technology was that of muskets, cannons, and so on. Many nations today could take out Prussia's military. I'd say most, as having any form of airforce against such primitive military tactics of the 1700's and so on would have a incredibly heavy advantage for the military using the airforce.


Worse. Prussia was a perfect example of Napoleonic military tactics versus the Industrial Age. Their losses in single pitched engagements were staggering.

Ek bly in Australie nou, maar Afrika sal altyd in my hart wees. Maak nie saak wat gebeur nie, ek is trots om te kan sê ek is 'n kind van hierdie ingewikkelde soms wrede kontinent. Mis jou altyd my Suid-Afrika, hier met n seer hart al die pad van Melbourne af!

And in the Napoleonic age, they tried to take the field with tactics from Frederick the Great's field manuals. Always behind the times, those Prussians.
