I am fascinated with the extreme equipment built by Russians, and have much respect for their brilliant engineers, designers, and craftsmen and women. I am a US citizen by birth, and I wish that people of US and Russia will work together to solve problems, instead of the governments talking about war. Together, and with all other nations, almost any problem could be solved.
Nice sentiments. Too bad feelings can't stop Vladimir Putin from murdering journalists or invading the Crimea.

Actually, top three icebreakers are Russian: 1. New Arktika class, 2. Taymir class, 3. Old Arktika class. With the future undisputed king - Project 10510, Lider class, currently under construction.
cool names too
Thanks to South Africa, USA, Canada, Finland, and Russia for your bravery and dedication. All excellent icebreakers and I applaud all.

Russia today: ice breaking ship Russia in 20 years: land breaking ship
Russia has the biggest icebreakers in the world. Awesome!!!! Impressive machines!
The issues with the Russian icebreakers, they can't sail to the antarctic, due to the lack of cold water to keep their reactors cold as they would pass through the tropics.
Canada says you're wrong
@@darchibald8303 no,russia has the biggest and powerful icebreakers in the world

@@dundonrl In 1986, Antarctica was also declared a nuclear-free zone, which excluded the appearance of nuclear-powered ships in its waters.
There are ice breakers and there is THE RUSSIAN ICE BREAKER which goes through the ice like a speed boat. I believe they have more ice breakers under construction to keep the northern route from Yamal open.
Yes we have more powerful new ice breaker Arktika (Project 22220) in service. On 23 April 2020, Atomflot and Zvezda signed the shipbuilding contract for the construction of the first much more powerful nuclear-powered icebreaker Leader (Project 10510)

Спасибо за видео. Вскоре будет построен ЛК-120, сейчас достраивается серия из атомных ледоколов Лк-60. Арктика, Сибирь, Урал, Якутия и Чукотка. Пр.22220. Но лично жду когда достроятся именно серия из 4 пр.10510.
Definitivamente solo los rompehielos de Rusia deberían estar en esta lista. Los demás de Canadá, Estados Unidos y Sudáfrica no impresionan.

Russian twin atom icebreaker is insane
2 Nuclear reactors. When Russians go big they go big, Antonov being another example. Their MiGs as old as some are are not to be trifled with, one nearly caught the US SR71, made it nearly as fast and over 50,000 feet.
"50 let PEBODY"... Oh my, as a native Russian speaker, I almost got a heart attack.
What if he tries Rosatomflot? 🤣 Flot is coming from the Dutch word vloot thanks to Peter the Great who went to Holland for shipbuilding and borrowed plenty of Dutch words which he introduced into the Russian maritime world.
@@maartenj.vermeulen900 By the way, "Rosatomflot" is a short version of "Rossiyskiy Atomniy Flot" (Russian Nuclear Fleet). Try to read and pronounce. I think, it is a real challenge for foreigners)
@@95StarScrim95 Fortunately I knew already what it meant and you are right it can be difficult to pronounce, but everybody can learn to speak a language. Most commonly native English speakers struggle, not difficult to imagine why. 🤣
Gotta admit the Russian Ice braker is the best of them five.
yep, and they got another 4 nuclear ones in operation, each of them bigger and more powerful than the other countries best... they have a lot business going on close to the shores of the Arctic Ocean{oil, natural gas, rare earth elements mining} and passable sea routes there are essential for them. On more than a few occasions their icebreakers rescued canadian and once an american icebreakers too haha.

Thank you Mother Russia
I really hope there aren't any country vs country comments in the comments section. I really wish that people could just appreciate each country's achievements and hope that eventually every country could work together without prejudice or negativity. Science and technology should never be shitted up by politics even though unfortunately that is and has been mostly the case for a long long time.
Who else got this recommended after the TimelapsePro video?
I sailed as 4th Engineer on the MV Terry Fox and her sister ship the Kalvik in 1990's offshore oil in the Beaufort Sea.24,200 BHP thru four Stork Werkspoor diesel engines.They are rated Arctic class IV ( 4ft of ice continuous@4knots)They were built in separate shipyards in British Columbia with the Kalvik adding a helideck on the bow later on.
Quiet amazing

I was sure the list would comprise of all 5 Russian ships, as Russia is the only nation on earth with a fleet of Ice breakers. America has 2, didn't even know Canada had one.
We have more then one
@Gary Holden, the 2 in the Video are our biggest Icebreakers
@@anthonywebber2211 Yeah... And those two are really cute!
What makes you think that Russia is the only nation with a fleet of ice breakers? My country, Sweden, has a fleet of about half a dozen operating in the Baltic Sea. Finland has got them, Norway and Denmark as well. Canada I am sure has many more still, being a bigger country also with extensive ice coverage of shipping lanes in the winter. Russia is to my knowledge however the only nation operating *nuclear powered* ice breakers, but you didn't mention that so I assume that's not what you meant.
@@bennylofgren3208 The Canadian Coast Guard has a fleet of 15 icebreakers serving Eastern Canada
