A UKRAINIAN missile struck Putin's oldest naval vessel in a massive blow to Russia's forces in Crimea.
Footage showed flames and smoke billowing out from the 112-year-old warship in the occupied port of Sevastopol this morning.
Explosions hit the area as Russians were forced to issue a missile warning and close Putin's prized Crimea bridge.
Fire engines reportedly rushed to the port to put out the blaze on the 315-ft long vessel.
A caption under the dramatic video, shared by Astra on Telegram, said: "The rocket hit the ship. See, it's burning."
The vessel hit by Ukraine is Kommuna, the world's oldest navy vessel and a prized member of Putin's Black Sea fleet.
First launched in 1913, it's an impressive target for Ukrainian forces after surviving two world wars.

The Kommuna was apparently being prepped to salvage Putin's beloved sunken Moskva warship.

Continuing to liquidat the Russian navy in the Black Sea is good for the world and good for America.
Wow yeah - destroying a museum piece has destroyed their navy!
oh the huge manatee!!!
Anti - American??? You Zeeperslobs are cheering because you got your $$$ for the laundromat and didn’t have to concede at thing for the Southern Border. So don’t tell us you care about the US. You’re all gloating in your victory turning Hakkim Johnson to the dark side.
Putin doesn’t seem the type to mourn a 112 year old ship. It ain’t like it was HMS Victory ot Old Ironside. And since the Zman has been complaining about almost empty stocks of weaponry it would seem he shouldn’t be wasting what he has left on a militarily worthless target. I’m starting to feel the best thing the Ukies could do is allow Putin to take all the territory and then start a partisan war throughout the country. Russians and us for that matter haven’t been too successful dealing with that kind of opposition.
And when Putin obliterates the Atlantic Fleet in Norfolk and sends a tidal wave up the Cheasapeake? You idiots are like kids playing with matches in a dynamite storage bunker.
Agreed! And, this just in, the Uke's have taken out this Russian submarine, just look at the size of that hole... it's only a matter of time now.
If you don’t want to read about Ukraine, don’t click on it. You’re on every post so I’m starting to think you actually like your nose in the crack.
Another Victory for Hero Ukraine! The Ruzzians prove to be stupid and unable to defend themselves from brave, hero Ukraine Freedom Fighters. Soon all of Ruzzia’s leaky, rusting navy will be at the bottom of the Black Sea! Proves that English rockets, with American targeting can work wonders. Lets hope that New weapons can beat back huge Meat Wave Banzai Charge’s of wild Mongol Hordes. Heaven help Ukrainian women if these Orks win even a small battle. America needs to send in all we have to Ukraine today! We need to start the draft to send men to battle Ruzzians and take back all of the Donbas and Crimea! Why isn’t one of our carriers in the Black Sea? Every American in NATO should be in Ukraine Now! We must save George Washington Zelenskyy and the cause of truth and justice. Send more Billions! Americans should be willing to starve to save Ukraine!
“Ukraine might actually win.”
I know. RIGHT.
A win in the “meh, what the hell...” category for choosing targets.

your boyfriend ellensky will be most grateful for your support. I know, lets send them the rest of our patriots and 150mm ammunition and buy s/him another mansion in Miami Beach.
You must be a faggot but I don’t have that kind of boy friend like you do.
Your angry 😡 post suggests a massive Sunday morning hangover 😵
Kudos to those scrappy Ukrainians! Despite being out gunned and out numbered on the battlefield in the Russian invasion by a huge margin, Russia’s “Three day war is not going well”for Putrid.
Unlike the wars in Viet Nam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, no US troops have died in Ukraine. And unlike those wars the locals are doing all the fighting holding their super power invader to a near standstill even with declining ammo and supplies.
When Reagan armed anti communist guerrilla fighters in Angola , Afghanistan,Ethiopia, Somalia, and Central America under his Reagan Doctrine with light infantry arms, it led to the collapse of the evil Soviet Empire at very little cost to the USA.
So now House speaker Johnson should put a new bill on the table to truly secure our Southern border. Put the ball in Bidens court. Expose the Dims as willing to secure Ukraines border but not our own at much less cost. Also with provisions for accelerated deportation and jailing of illegal aliens.
His job is only half done.
Younger than biden...
That we know of.
Like the biden admenstruation would tell us the truth about anything?
“...the locals are doing all the fighting holding their super power invader to a near standstill even with declining ammo and supplies...”
That was very well-stated. FR’s Moscow stooges belittle Ukrainian valor and intrepidness. But the Ukrainian military has won the respect of all true liberty-loving people around the world.
