they will just direct you to the cultural capital called Grozny.
There's no denying that a great deal of capital has been spent by the powers that be to rebuild Grozny over the course of the last two decades or so.
The local mosque bearing the name of the late Akhmad Kadyrov is indeed quite magnificent. However, it is also not exactly the most original design, and very much "inspired by" Istanbul's Blue Mosque.
At the end of the day, it appears President Putin, and per his influence, other Russian elites, tend to get a little too generous, if not almost euphemistic when speaking of Grozny, mostly out of regard for Kadydov (it's like
rubbing your dog's belly and telling him "you're a good boy!"), and also perhaps as a PR measure, especially towards the GCC sheikhdoms.
However, saying
nice things about Grozny doesn't mean you actually believe that Grozny is in fact a
nice, never mind
culturally significant place, especially if the guy speaking is a politician and/or former KGB officer.
can you figure out the Cap on girl head or the red sign on second video?. it is test of your knowledge.

No idea, dude. Do see the Su-57 though! Care to enlighten the rest of us?
I've read the 144 VLS cells between the Type 055 and 054 warships combined equal to around 70% of the entire Australian naval fleet combined.
That is correct. To be more precise: 72%.
There are 144 VLS cells between PLANS Zunyi (107 / Type 055) and PLANS Hengyang (568 / Type 054A), while the entire Royal Australian Navy has a total of 200 VLS cells divided between three Hobart DDGs with 48 VLS cells each and seven Anzac FFGs with 8 VLS cells each.
