I hear this particular tg mentioned from time to time as if it was a khokholian source. I'm not sure that it is.
I don't think it is either but seems it may have contacts inside the Ukraine. Anyway, take it with a grain of salt until there's confirmation.
Now what about that Kilo class sub that the ukrops supposedly damaged in a missile attack?
They already sank the Moskva.
So they had their triumph already. No one is going to make a stamp for that ship now. This looks like a desperate "look we're still winning" move.
The Russian Navy was never the brightest tool in the shed, even if we go back in history and look at its predecessors.
This isn't the Ukraine doing it, I don't believe. America has been conducting these kinds of experiments since the 50's. When it was banned they tested it on prisoners, then foreign prisoners, then POW's then moved their operations abroad.
The movement he stops talking about geography he begins to beclown himself.
Lol. The most bloodthirsty keyboard warriors. Note how they never seem to volunteer to fight....
Correct and we didn't see the ship go under like the little missile boat a week or two ago.
Wow this is what I call top quality posting
This is a video from RIA Novosti someone posted in a private chat a few days ago.
Sinking these old Polish ships is pretty pointless ultimately.
It's a headline for PR purposes. It was also directed by the US:
With how many of these drones have already been captured by the Iranians, China etc. it’d be interesting to know how much information the different parties share with each other.
You absolutely can do this. In fact it would be extremely good for Ukraine to do this. It would buy them a lot of time and stop the bleeding. However the AFU has fought extremely stupidly on this matter and frequently defended places well past the point where it would be a good idea to do so. So I doubt Ukraine will make the smart move on this one. I will say there is a logical if still bad reason Ukraine does this. It is about trying to make sure the west keeps supplying them.
I do think the Black sea fleet should move to out of the Black sea if can do so or at least to somewhere along the Caucuses where it would be more difficult for the Ukrainians to reach. That may not be possible though. But drones are a real problem for Navies.Another russian ship down, are those mfers in the command of the fleet are just incompetent or those sea drones are too op and can't be countered?
Ukraine has had difficulties finding enough POWS to trade and has been doing wacky shit. Stuff like trading political prisoners and they even tried to argue for trading the remains of Stolypin.
There is actually a very good reason for the US to do this. It gives them real training in Naval combat to some degree. Granted it is against a stupid target that isn't really defending itself but still a bit of training is better than nothing. China has not fought a Naval war ever, but the US has not fought a real Naval war since 1945 so it is also extremely rusty.
The US navy is a mess, full of diversity hires and kids who couldn’t make college or employment work for them.
More pragmatic to just keep them in the pow camp cause any, even if former, enemy combatant is a potential liability and a spy.
This is a land war, but the Russian navy (the parts above water at least) has always been an afterthought, especially since geography basically requires them to have three. They probably want a stronger Baltic fleet as insurance against NATO doing something very stupid in the future.
Shades of WW2: "our Nazis can whip their Nazis!" But actual Azov/Kraken/etc guys are, I think, too juicy a PR prize to be forgiven. (Also it's my understanding that Akmat kills them on sight.)
