Mărășești | A bizarre warship in the Black Sea

We are investigating the Romanian frigate Mărășești, one of the craziest projects of Ceaușescu. #frigate #warship #romaniannavy

Why did Romania desire to design and build a cruiser?
Did the Socialist Republic of Romania really need a powerful navy?
What are the features of Mărășești?

Welcome to our channel. All the weapon systems are like books. They tell us their stories. The Weapon Detective investigates these books, reads between the lines, analyses, and tells the untold. At the dawn of the Second Cold War, the fruits of new projects give us clues about the future. However, current weapon systems also have their own stories. You can find in our videos technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let's investigate the weapons together when the Second Cold War is rising.
