Actually, they did. The Soviet destroyer in sattelite down is of an old type that was dcommissioning even before 1989 and the Riga-class frigates you find in the Caspian Flotilla had been, for the most part, decommissioned in the early 1980's.
I definitely agree with your point when things go nuclear and you might be right about things going too fast. Still its fun to have these old rusted bucket around.
