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.

Yup, and we get nothing out of it, except for the war profiteers.
Zelensky’s head in Kiev, you mean.
REGARDS,
In ww2, we were “the right”. The nazi socialists, italian fascists, Russian commies, and japanese imperialsts were “the wrong”.
The temporary russian alliance was only brought about due to Hitler reneging on the non-aggression peace pact with Russia after the two demolished and split Poland.
One could argue we ceased to be “the right” after FDR took over and implemented his destructive Socialist vision for America. Frightening to consider that it hasn’t been since Harding-Coolidge the government has been truly cut in size. 90 years on the wrong track.
Dont change the context. The context of the discussion was war.
Nextrush, have you considered another career?
Serving their country by invading it and destroying it.
I think Putin fanboys are up past their bedtime.
The Russian soldiers are offered those things right before they are killed for Putin’s vanity.
Through its long history Russia has been, is now, and seemingly will remain forever an Oriental Despotism.
I am unaware of the treaty by which Ukraine ceded Crimea to Russia. Please inform me.
I do not know if Ukraine will be able to retake the land now held by Russia but it is clear that Russia has already past its high water mark. Russia will not be taking any new lands. To think that it will is only a delusion.
Crimea is ethnically Russian only because of the ethnic cleansing of Stalin. So you only agree with Crimea being Russian because of a Communist dictator.
There, fixed it!
Though I am not particularly "excited."
Let's just say that I approve of it.
Regards,
Thank you!
“In Russia we only had two TV channels. Channel One was propaganda. Channel Two consisted of a KGB officer telling you: Turn back at once to Channel One.”
- Yakov Smirnoff
In the early 2000s Russia didn’t have the oil money yet because the prices were low and Putin wasn’t secure in his power yet. That’s why Yeltsin brought Putin in from St. Petersburg in the first place - he didn’t have his own contact network in Moscow and was dependent on his.
That’s when Putin needed Western help.
After the oil boom money started pouring in and he had eliminated the old guard he was finally free to show his true KGB colors.
I defy you to cite a single "anti-Christian" or "very Satanic" statement in this entire thread.
< crickets >
Didn't think so!

The missiles used were British or French Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG.
The Russian army also has Islamic leaders for the chechens.
