Russia lost the Battle of the Black Sea to a country without a navy.
This rust bucket missile carrier has been causing trouble for Ukraine throughout the war. Now it’s on the bottom of the Black Sea.
With the introduction of long range land based SSMs and aircraft with long range ASMs, areas like the eastern Med, the Black Sea, South China Sea, etc are a lot more dangerous to navel forces.
It appears Ivan figured out the only way you can lose a Navy is to have a Navy.
Russian presidential candidate Nikita Halayemski called for the assassination of President Biden in retaliation.
Lol.
We can't even defend the Red Sea with our navy. Well, on paper we can. But we are using up missiles that cost up to $2.1 million a shot to defend against drones or missiles that cost a couple of thousand each by the Houthis.
