    The Russian tugboat "Vasily Bekh", hit by the AFU at 4 am, is being towed for repairs.

    The ship is afloat.

    Lob which rocket?

    Tochka has 120km range and Ukrops are kicked back too far now to pull that off

    They may try airstrike but their planes can't ever survive flying near Donbass, reaching the bridge would be tallest of orders

    Also we should keep in mind that this is no tiny Soviet era rural bridge, this is a modern day megastructure, even if a missile somehow hits it the damage will be temporary at best

    Zelensky says he's drafting a million men, but so far there have been 4 waves of mobilization, with 60k, 60k, 70k, and 100k. Given that they are still conscripting and shipping guys off to the front with a week of training, it's likely that this is mostly just replacement.
    ...

    Give this man a million men thumbsup

    That’s a million problems that could be solved now instead of being left for later

    Do we have confirmation that the Buyan was indeed hit?

    Why isn't Gibka at least installed and slaved to the radar?

    At this point all who said no AD on these ships are fine have been totally discredited

    Regardless if these are small patrol corvettes, or offshore patrol vessels, they were the only ships floated and the most likely to see combat

    So they should have been armed as well as they could

    What a shame if this has happened

    They will land another harpoon hit if this goes on

    Get rid of the stupid artillery guns and come to the present time

    The likelihood of coastal artillery making any difference in this war is small compared to the importance of protecting oneself from a drone munition or an AshM

    Artillery guns and lowly protected small ships are OUT

    Self defense is IN

    yes. because when you draw the short stick and get captured.
    You will pay for your actions.
    And they all beg for mercy.

    But they would never hesitate to cleanse the Donbass of its people.
    Or even take P.O.W's if they had the upper hand.

    Everyone remember the Georgian/ukro scum that executed Russian VDV and gloating over their suffering as they died?.
    The knife torture?. where the guy was knifed trough the eye?.
    The tochka cluster warheads landing on Donbass urban area's?.
    Dont even get me started what preceded this war, the systematic genocide in the donbass for 8 years.

    I do not care where they come from. i do not care who they are.
    Just because you have militarily the upper hand, does not mean you should take the moral high-ground with these people.
    They chose to ignore the suffering of the Donbass people, and ignore NATO's actions.
    Most of all, As Westerners they came to Ukraine to subjugate the LPR/DPR people alongside the Nazis.

    You want to use them as bargaining chips to get your own men back from Kiev?. Of course.
    I understand and i support that.

    If they have no value?. execute them by Gallows or Firing squad and dumped unceremoniously in an mass grave.

    For all we know this ship might be transferred from Kaspian to Black sea or vice versa. Marks look like rust to me and radar head is taken down.
    I remember that Karakurt corvette also couldn't fit, heightwise, through Volga-Don channel and part of the radar mast had to be removed.

    imho must be something like Gefest for unguided missiles too.  They shoot with nose up to reach specific range of the shoot. Perhaps also move vertical impact when missile is descending.


    When I as watching an SU-25 do a similar mission there was a tone in the cockpit just before the missiles were fired. So it is probably GEFEST and you can select the type of ammo. It detects angle, velocity and heading and tells you when to light it up.

    Yeah. That is it

    For the record , i am not one of these techo-autists who think ship X got hit because there was some technical or operational deficiency.

    No. This is a real war. And ships are going to be hit. My problem with Russia is the lack of retribution on the battlefield

    Well considering Ukraine have almost no ship left, what kind of retribution you ask tho ? Finding the launcher itself is hard especially if Russians not really intensifying surveillance there.

    They can probably kalibring more of the inbound arms but well media will downplay it.

    Best retribution will be for Russia to demilitarize and denazify the Ukraine leaving it landlocked and dependent on IMF loans and EU handouts, their men can clean toilets in Poland and their women can continue to be the Whore-Breadbasket of Europe.

    Yup, but you should see the other guy...  Kiev placing a purchase order for replacement(s) even as i write Razz

    FWIW I think this might have been a case of the CIWS taking down a missile from a UAV (or a shore based MLRS round) and killing the incoming threat at point-blank range?  Frag and a little blast damage/scorching of paint, but no structural damage.

    Edit: meh... looks like a case of rust... move along, nothing to see... In future I need to finish my morning coffee before commenting...

    Yes that picture was from towing to Naval parade

    ***people do NOT repost bullshit without confirmation

    It is retarded to post such info without sources , and Twitter does not count as a post

    Фейк: Российский ракетный корабль получил серьезные повреждения в ходе спецоперации. Сейчас его буксируют по Волге на ремонт. Пост появился в российском ТГ-канале и распространяется украинскими СМИ.

    Правда: Корабль двигается не на ремонт, а на парад, сообщает телеграм-канал "Zа нами правда". На снимке запечатлена буксировка корабля для участия в военно-морском параде в Санкт-Петербурге. Ежегодно корабли Каспийской флотилии проходят Волго-Донской судоходный канал, преодолевая в общей сложности маршрут, общей протяженностью 2,5 тысячи километров.

    Для того, чтобы корабль безопасно проходил под мостами, с него сняли мачту, основные системы, включая кондиционирование, отключили. Поэтому на корабле открыты люки и двери.

    По фото видно, что корабль двигается вверх по Волге - как раз в сторону Петербурга. Зеленодольск и судоремонтный завод находится ниже Нижнего Новгорода по течению.
