Russia’s Black Sea Fleet was once considered central to Vladimir Putin’s attempted conquest of Ukraine.
But that fleet and its accompanying air wing have been battered by innovative Ukrainian missile and drone attacks, turning the once-feared force into something of an afterthought in Europe’s largest war in seven decades.
When Putin launched his all-out invasion of Ukraine in February, the Crimea-based fleet was at the center of the action, launching Kalibr cruise missiles at military and civilian targets deep into the country, blocking access to the country’s ports, and threatening an amphibious landing on Odesa.

The silicon chip and the derivative modern technologies have made naval surface combatants obsolete death traps.
They will hang around for a while. There is a possibility they may serve as laser platforms and drone command and support...

Within ten years even the battleship admirals who dutifully patrol the Pentagon and the corridors of Congress will come to this realization. It was 100 years ago that General Billy Mitchell demonstrated that battleships were no match for airpower. Who will be the Billy Mitchell of the 21st century?
Sodomite Troll fail.
Your hero Zelensky is the big fan of Sodomites. Proliferating the globalist sodomite agenda is more important to him than saving lives in the middle of a war. It got him a big spread in Vanity Fair !
Ah, here we go again with the “turn the tide,” if only the little engine could, etc BS....
‘Despite the slow but steady progress of the Russian Forces, western media and politicians continue to repeat the mantra of Russian defeat, of stalemate, of Ukrainian counter-offensives that are shortly to turn the tide of victory. All that is required to secure that final victory is another $10 billion, another shipment of ‘wunderwaffen’, more ammunition, more sanctions…….more……’
