    This is war.

    What, you think the Ukies are idiots who can't use the Soviet-legacy stuff still in their possession? Or somehow cannot tactically apply any new equipment/weapons?

    Loss of naval vessels due to enemy action was always a possibility. Lets find out what actually happened before yabbering about "incompetence"....

    I'll see if I can dig up some more Strelkov soon to mark the occasion.

    Unfortunately this time Kiev and its NATO allies combined a psychological operation with a real one, that does damage the defensive and offensive capability of the Black Sea Fleet. Which is now left without S-300F cover offshore. Thankfully the S-400s in the Crimea still cover it.

    More than enough AA systems to cover against Ukrainian barely existing airforce and Tochka-U. Doesn't change anything on the ground.

    Oh but it does.

    Now there will be another month of "Russky Korabl idi naxuj!" instead of surrendering like a sensible person would

    and yeah.. Hope this time whoever up there finally got their act together.  It can be anything like storm  or maybe some mines but still a morale boost for Ukraine.

    This vid is also fake, just like the two earlier ones.

    It's from 2019 and that Tanzanian tanker that caught fire off Krasnodar.

    See here:

    https://youtu.be/mOHDISvZHC0

    About 18 seconds in. They just flipped the footage horizontally and added a fake NV filter.

    For Ukrainian coastal defense troops - yes. But Ukrainian soldiers in cauldrons I don't think it will be enough to motivate them. It's not like Moskva was floating in Dnieper river.

    Do wonder what's up with this story

    In the morning they were announcing Neptun strikes against the Moskva with a fake photo

    Now this fake video

    Yet it seems that TASS, RT have quoted the MoD as saying that something blew up and the crew was evacuated

    Meanwhile there is no statement on the MoD site as yet

    Amazing catch. That's why the sea looked so calm. Hope it doesn't look too bad in reality and no loss of manpower.

    We will see Moskva being trawled back to the port and it will be clear what damage it sustained. It could as well be a mine. I wouldn't trust a thing from Ukrainian side yet.

    Na all Ukraine will be dancing on the streets and NATO media will spin is as 'the defiance of the Ukrainian people against Russian tyranny' and so on. The Ukrainian troops in cauldrons are on amphetamines and other drugs, they don't need an excuse to celebrate.

    And honestly it's hard to disagree. It's a brilliant victory of the underdog on several levels and just what the regime needs right now.

    Would be quite a coincidence for a mine to strike it now given that they were spinning the story as early as this morning.

    In practice I suspect sabotage by a member of the crew or some frogmen

    At this stage:

    - Could be a mine
    - Could be Ukrainian Neptune
    - Could be UAV
    - Could be accident
    - Could be an own kill (missile misfire)

    We will know better tomorrow.

    If the 40 year old veteran cruiser is indeed badly damage, then might as well scrap it.
    Too bad, all it had to do is to serve another couple more years (until the Adm. Nakhimov rejoins the fleet) and she would be retired and become scrap metal.

    At the moment, it is the crew that matters.

    The rest is secondary.

    Awesome work Dr S Laughing

    Regardless of the true situation with Moskva, this nicely displays the true nature of the Ukie propaganda machine - its just an old man behind a curtain employing cheap fakes to the unsuspecting rubes who are pre-conditioned to be sheep and believe whatever the feck they are told to believe....  Razz

    You are too emotional. All these false hopes that the Ukrainians are getting will make their defeat harder to swallow.
    They will be crying harder when they eventually capitulate.

    Kuznetsov - taken out by crane

    Gremyaschiy - taken out by fire

    Moskva - taken out by 404 or sabotage or ineptitude

    This sums up the whole story

    What depressing news

    Talking about trust - Ukrainians claimed that they hit Chernobaevka airfield AGAIN. At least there are some videos from locals.

    Bro it's past the time of being angry

    How can anyone accuse flaming of being emotional

    What other reaction can you have watching this buffoonery?

    Everything was downplayed , but what more can we sweep under the rug?

    Its better to admit what a disaster this has been

    But the epic reinforcement of incompetence only leads from one catastrophe to the next

    Chill.

    This is war. Losses are inevitable.

    What do you expect? You want Ukraine to be fully liberated without a single Russian soldier getting hurt? or tank destroyed? or aircraft shot down? or ship damaged?

    Grow up and learn to take losses without blaming this or that.

    They think as I do and as flaming does

    Go on the Runet and read

    About belgorod, about Kiev, about Moskva

    Read what the people are saying

    It's a unanimous anger and disdain for this leadership

    Apparently the VSU has hit Chernobaevka

    Russian special military operation in Ukraine #11 - Page 26 Img_2060

    And yes very few people believe any of this was conducted in a right way

    The people unanimously support the war and the troops

    But are absolutely puzzled to what we see being carried out by this inept leadership

    Peskovs view is spreading

    Bro I feel the same exact way, tired of this from just watching

    I feel bad for the men in the front also

    We need to do something about this leadership, but I doubt we can

    It's going to get us killed

    NATO is not going to act the way we have disgracefully made assholes of ourselves

    NATO is gonna hit us hard while Putin and co. Explain why we lost Moscow, to not cause civilian casualties

    It's a big shitshow , I have never seen anything like this

    It outdoes the 90s , buran, all that shit

    If they declare a mobilization, it's gonna be fucked, lot of us are In jeopardy

    I'm seeing the amount of guys dead in mariupol, it's shocking

    But the epic reinforcement of incompetence only leads from one catastrophe to the next

    Do you live in the country that has lost more than 20 million lives in WW2 ? WHAT WOULD THEY THINK OF YOU ? Russia is alone against the West, alone, and you should be proud. Nothing is over, nothing.

    Don't worry dude, we know it's not over. It's not about victory for the sake of victory, pride and so on. It's about a clique of war-criminals in Kiev and NATO trying to use the opportunity to destroy us - so the war will be fought, there is no backing down.

    I'm just simply amazed at everything though. Everything about this operation. Right from how it started, even the bullshit Putin used to justify it

    Putin and his people have done nothing his whole reign but miscalculate on the Ukraine and that's continuing now.
