Raw numbers don't tell the whole story. Ukraine will be getting Excalibur rounds (GPS precision is within 2 meters of target) and BONUS rounds. The BONUS rounds actually hunt down heavy armor.





If the bonus rounds work out like they are supposed to them we should change the name to BONE-RUS rounds.

Huge if true. Probably another cigarette butt.

Here is a live shot of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

I think this is the newest surface combatant in the Russian navy.


Not for long IF (big if) the rumor is true.

ETA: Most of Russia's Black Sea Fleet is back in Sevastopol Bay. That makes me a little more suspicious about the claim. However, id Ukraine was able to hit and sink or seriously damage a Russian warship in Sevastopol Bay then it is very very BIGLY.



Also if true then there will likely be collateral damage to a bunch of other Russian warships in Sevastopol Bay.

I realize that we are trying to not to get political on this board. However, this was just a great troll job by Russia back in the day, and one time when Russian propaganda was 100% true.

Ok, people have tried since Feb 24th to assign "higher" motivations to what the Russians are doing and not doing.


The hits just keep on coming for Russia.

According to Finnish officials:

1) #Finland has received security assurances from US, UK, France, Germany…for duration NATO membership process.

2) After formal Finnish application, negotiations could be completed in two days. #turpo

The most positive aspect for the Russians about having another vessel sunk is that it makes it unlikely that the vessel will be attacked again for the duration of the war.

Wikipedia has further edited the ship’s page to show correct information.

I didn't post this the other day, but there was talk of Ukraine getting long range British and Norwegian antiship missiles that would reach that far. This would put the western Black Sea off limits to Russia and open up the port of Odessa for grain shipments after proper minesweeping.

Alternate explanation: there was a report of the admiral Makarov being hit early in the war that was never confirmed. Could be the same story circulating again.

No unusual activity on Russian Black Fleet 3531 CW kHz. Sevastopol sending routine cipher messages with at least 4 ships receiving the messages. No increase in ciphers etc. My apologies for the bad news.

We better have some bad arse planes. It seems we are getting outclassed and out distanced by new Chinese missile’s. They have ranges upwards of 300K .Hopefully we are sandbagging about our air to air capabilities.

Are they suggesting they’ve saved their best for last? They’ve allowed Ukraine to retool basically. 155s and rockets will change the battlefield.
