Russian Invasion of Ukraine

[unit-one]

BDK-91 Olenegorski Gornjak landing ship got damaged.

That's ship's listing pretty badly. If they hit it hard enough below the waterline then it's probably a write-off, and even if not it's still going to be out of action for months.

Russia needs more submarines so they will soon add one to their fleet?

Man, it's really awkward to have fully and comprehensively repelled the attack only to have the ship start sinking as a complete coincidence anyway.

It'll be no doubt a valuable aid to the Moskva's sea floor denazification efforts.

Another promotion to scrap metal 😍

I heard the ship fell out of a 5th floor window 🤔

If it did sink, I hope that the rats went down with it.

edit.

More rumours and vague pictures that the Kerch bridge has been hit again.

 

[SestoScudo]

Unmanned boats pretty much genius small packaged boats that are unmanned taking on big ships of the Russian navy.

Russian invasion of Ukraine is now making people rethink on their weapon systems.

Reuters has the story now:

Blasts in Crimea, pro-Russia officials report Ukraine drone attack

Residents of Russian-occupied Crimea reported an explosion near the bridge linking the peninsula to the Russian mainland early on Saturday, but a Russia-installed official in the region denied the bridge had come under attack.

And whatever feed that is, using a mushroom cloud icon is a bold choice.

Tanker ship near bridge was hit by drone. Looks like Ukraine is more effective in blockades.

[Blitz24]

Russia will ignore this and act in disbelief that they were attacked in their "days long" special mission.

This is truly priceless intel for the American military, I feel. Not even necessarily because it's a true measurement for the efficacy of all the modern weapons systems we've had sitting in warehouses for 30 years because we had no use for it when driving tanks into Iraq twice and blowing everything up uncontested, but more because I suspect it's been a major eye opener just how dangerous some Chinesium drone bought off Amazon loaded with semtex can be and how expensive it is to engage with it using traditional means.




Certainly it must cost exponentially more money to shoot down suicide drones the way Russia and Ukraine have both been doing so to this point than it costs to actually chuck drones filled with explosives at ships and bridges in the first place.

Russia will ignore this

Russia? Maybe. Insurance companies? No way. Ukraine just killed any commercial naval transportation for RF in that region. There are no way for RF to transport its grain effectively anymore. Basically, RF though that they could kick Ukraine out of grain business, but instead kick themselves(and Ukraine somehow fullfil three ships since blockade started). Многоходовочка 🤡

I don't understand why terrorists doesn't use them. I know there are some cases in Hamas vs Israel conflict, but nothing serious. FPV drone with grenade is Hellfire-rocket-athome
, basically.

Pretty much this. Buying a drone larger than a palm-sized toy draws heavy scrutiny right now, but meanwhile every few years we get a news story about how one heavily militarized country or another has had thousands of stored weapons vanish over a couple decades due to "clerical error". And if you've already got the black market connections to buy a LAW rocket or the like, you're not gonna bother with ordering off Alibaba and potentially leaving a paper trail behind.

Yesterday, two limbless veterans of SMO were beaten by youngsters in Zabaikalskiy krai. Youngsters said that veterans are "killers".

At least 4 different holes.

Russia said that there was 12 missiles launched and 9 of them they shot down. Hm...

EDIT: Those are different bridges. The fences are different.

 

[Dennisch]

Ukraine needs more missiles. And bigger.

More “capable” militaries are better at EW and even foot patrols have military grade RF jammers. Mostly because of remote detonated IEDs but can jam anything in the area that uses RF to operate. Like a Chinese drone from amazon.

AFAIK, jammers can't do enough. Truck size ones could, but at the same time say goodbye to any comms. Personal riffle-jammers still need to be pointed at drone which isn't all that easy with 100-300kmph fpv-ones.

Germany might be getting ready to send Taurus missiles, range 500 kilometers.

I hope this is no bull.

Ah, so Russia won the Cold War, Chernobyl never happened and the USSR just randomly fell apart for no reason at all?

"Western companies left our country and left open places for business. Don't loose your chance! Today, for real, Russia is a land of opportunity."

"Attempts to isolate our country have failed. West is suffering from sanctions."

"USA is ready to fight till the last Ukrainian. Nothing personal, just business."

"Ukraine is an ultranationalist country."

"We didn't start any military actions, we are ending what nationalists started in 2014."

"Ukrainian military doesn't protect their citizens, they are using them as a human shield."

"Russia is a land of heroes."

etc.

It's like a collection of propaganda that was said on the Russian federal TV channels.
