I hope he keeps it away from the waters off Somalia.

Indeed, otherwise his bodyguards will destroy half of Somalia. What do you think he needs two helipads for? :-) I'm sure he can afford a few new Ka-50 for example:

Armament

• 1x mobile semi-rigid 30 mm Shipunov 2A42 cannon (240 rounds, dual feeding AP or HE-Frag)
• A variety of payloads on the four wing hardpoints, including UPK-23-250 23-mm gun pods (240 rounds each), APU-6 9K121 Vikhr anti-tank missile racks, Vympel R-73 (NATO: AA-11 Archer) air-to-air missiles, S-8 rocket 80 mm and S-13 rocket 122 mm rocket pods, Kh-25 semi-active laser guided tactical air-to-ground missiles, presumably S-25/S-25L high caliber rockets, 4x 250 kg (550 lb) bombs or 2x500kg (1,100 lb) bombs, 500 L (130 US gal) external fuel tanks. Reportedly, twin Igla light air-to-air missile launchers under each wingtip countermeasure pod (total 4 missiles). Maximum total payload 2,000 kg.
• Two pods on the wingtips with flare and chaff countermeasure dispensers, 64 cartridges each (total 128).

That should be sufficient to sink a few inflatable boats, and as a bonus to blow their town to smithereens.

it’s probably longer than at least half of the US Navy’s ships.

Take a closer look at post #2...it certainly outsizes the German Navy!

That's not Irina...That's Ivana....Ivana Banger.

In the interest of full disclosure, I used that on the other Abramavich thread that got deleted for being a dup.

Everything about this story is boring, except the women.

[goat granny]

I heard someplace that a man is only as old as the woman he’s bedding.. That explains old rich men and young women..:O)

I hope he keeps it away from the waters off Somalia

Hmmmm....I don't know....obama had great 'success' in his part of the world

I hope that after Obama gets done converting our nation to socialism, I get as rich as this former communist.

I disagree with the "carbon neutral boat" running on body fat, the engine still "burns" a carbon based fuel and leaves residue of that fuel.

If anything, "human based fuel" actually has a bigger footprint than oil as oil is only processed once. The human fuel had tons of carbon used to make it (gasoline to grow the food, gas to transport the food to market, gas to transport the food to a persons home, fuel to refrigerate the food then cook it, etc., the list goes on forever over simple oil.)

when you're Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, only the most ostentatious displays of wealth will do

...plus, you'll want someplace to run away from Putin.
