Russia's Black Sea Fleet Headquarters Demolished and Commanding Admiral Presumed Dead
Red State ^ | September 22, 2023 | Streiff

Posted on 09/22/2023 6:16:24 PM PDT by Timber Rattler

A volley of Ukrainian cruise missiles demolished the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, in Occupied Crimea. The strategic communications directorate of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the attack that took place around noon Sevastopol time this way on social media:

(snip)

Fleet Headquarters was struck by two or three cruise missile, either British Storm Shadow or French SCALP-EG. In this video you can see one of them on short final.

There are reports of several high-ranking officers killed or injured in the attack. Unofficially, Admiral Viktor Sokolov, commander of the Black Sea Fleet, was among the dead.

To understand how we got here, you need to look at Ukrainian military operations over the last two or three weeks. A little over a week ago, Ukrainian cruise missiles and unmanned surface vehicles destroyed two Russian warships, a submarine and a landing ship, and an antiaircraft patrol vessel was damaged while underway. That attack had been set up by a commando raid on a radar and antiaircraft site in Crimea that punched a hole in the air defense belt surrounding Sevastopol. Other antiaircraft sites have been hit in the last two weeks; Last week, an S-400 antiaircraft missile battery covering downtown Sevastopol, the location of the Black Sea Fleet headquarters, was taken out.

These attacks opened a corridor for Ukrainian strike aircraft to get very close to Crimea before launching their missiles.

I wasn’t aware that Putin turned Russia back into a Communist state. Do you have links and cites for that ?

That you think a psychotic pervert and warmonger pushing for WW3 is a good thing in any respect shows your complete and absolute divorce from basic reality.

So a 600+ day war was what Russia intended all the time. Russia has now been at war longer than US involvement in WW1. Why hasn’t Russia committed these 100s of thousands of troops and end this in a month? It’s clear the Ukies are in this to the end so why doesn’t Russia just end it.

No it was deliberate cause that’s all you do is “say”.

All what you said plus the fact that Putin delegitimized the very existence of the Ukrainian nation before he invaded. This is a textbook Stalinist genocide and colonialist adventure launched once again by the Kremlin.

The Ukraine delegitimized itself with 32 years of grossly incompetent and corrupt mismanagement. It singularly failed to establish itself as a mature and respected nation.

That contradicts all of your prior postings wishing for the extermination of 150,000,000 Russians and Belarussians.

” Say” definitely your style.
“Think”, something you have yet to make contact with.

When are you leaving for Kiev to fight for your idol, Zelensky ? You’re just a short ride to Idlewild. C’mon, Rambo. Go show us how it’s done.

You used to accuse me of wanting 160 miliion Russians dead. What happened to the other ten million? Are the losses in Ukraine that bad?

LOL!!!

The fact you find that remotely funny shows how much you’ve completely lost both your mind and your soul.

If you wish to insist on trolling me then you’ve taken your chances.

Here’s a comforting fact about today:

This very day Russians are needlessly dying in a needless war for the aggrandizment of Putin’s fragile, faggotty ego.

How many will die today? A hundred? Two hundred? A thousand?

All so your master can convince everyone that he’s a man instead of the pathetic little boy that he is.

And you worship him.

Trolling is one thing. Wishing mass murder is quite another.

My master is the Lord, Jesus Christ. Maybe one day you’ll get to know Him.

I don’t wish mass murder.

Just one.
