If they let her go then it's also for someone of symbolic value but not too much practical value (yeah like that son of the Chechen politician) and they don't have anything serious to pin on her anyway

Murz says he is a LPR fighter, unconfirmed but probable

Murz is a doomer. Kind of like Strelkov became. With that said, there can be valid objections made to performance and strategy of Russian army, especially, at the beginning of operation when they took sizeable losses. I believe that after the war, analysis will show that Russian either had wrong assessment of Ukrainian army battle readiness and moral or they disregarded them. There's no other way to explain some of the actions they took at the end of February and in March.

I am very close to disregarding everything he says simply based on the fact that he claims russia lost most of its T-72B3s(which he erroneously calls T-72BMs, which further removes credibility) and T-90s. Hes basically parroting oryx bullshit x5. Not even oryx has claimed such bullshit, and this brings teh question of how could russia lose all of its modern tank park if it committed only 20% of forces? If he's an LPR fighter, how does he know the nukber of tanks and IFVs in russian units?

Are these holes from splinter damage or is that a pic of ship being transported for repairs

Lot of rumors going around

As noted so often. This ship needs TOR. The ship that gets at the end of the construction with PanzirM is not sufficiently protected. The war clearly shows this. No protection without a TOR.

Please dear Ministry of Defense, installed on the small rockets boats 16xTOR. 8x long, 8x short. the also results in better fleet protection.

That's a big problem

If there isn't space for TOR, surely they could find space for SOSNA R or pantsir that would be just as effective and cheaper and would take up less room.

It therefore lends itself well to deploying as a bolt-on module ie Tor-M2KM.

It's a shame similar companies didn't really take off in Russia.

No words to describe this, it looks like a tactical nuclear explosion

If there were no space for TOR they would not be testing it on these vessels.

The new model Naval TOR separates the turret and search and tracking radar from the launch tubes, which has the potential to use the fixed AESA arrays on the bigger ships for search and tracking functions and just place vertical launch units around the place bolted to the deck and wired in to the power...

In comparison that would make it even easier to integrate than Pantsir and Sosna, each of which are two stage missiles that cannot easily be vertically launched.

It therefore lends itself well to deploying as a bolt-on module ie Tor-M2KM.  

It is unlikely the final system would use what they are tying down on the helicopter pad because it cannot detect targets to the front of the ship.

Using the ships main search and tracking radars would enable 360 degree view and with better low altitude performance than a set of radar located closer to the deck.

That would mean that in addition to AESA radar on the smaller ships (which would be beneficial anyway in terms of SA and AESA radar module production numbers) you could just bolt vertical launch mounts on any free space on the decks.

It's a shame similar companies didn't really take off in Russia.

The American government will already be sharing information... they will just pretend it came from private companies to cover their arses...

That's not the point bro and you know it. Fucking Bezsonov even tried to sell it like a win, that they got someone really valuable for it.
The way it was done reeks off under the table deal. And in the middle of the war. It doesn't seat well with ordinary people.
Second, one more propaganda win for Ukraine. You don't want your guy to look for info in that cesspool, do you?
Because, you first don't say shit and then try to lie.

How...? It's a Zionist mafia group controlled exclusively by the state of lsrael. They are also playing a role in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
