This is one of the new Russia Wonder weapons.
Just few years old.
Apparently not that great?!

All this s__t is so stupid. Idiots are acting like Russia is a two bit rival that is about to fold at the drop of a dime. Geez, how stupid the world has become. Ukraine is full of Russian countrymen. The reason Putin is not anililating the place is because he has some respect and reservation for his own ethnicity. Now Nazis are another matter entirely.

Odessa you say! Sure does not look like the Battleship Potemkin.

If the morale in the Russian navy is as bad as in the Russian army, it very well could look like the mutiny on the Potemkin in 1905.

Both sides lie a lot.

I think that's what's most frustrating about this. Our side (the US) is promoting and taking part in the over the top propaganda war the Ukraine and Russia are waging. They US government has gone beyond choosing to support on side is a war where there are no good guys. It is using the plight of the innocent Ukrainians that are being harmed to push their globalist agenda.

Putin should have been dealt with years ago. He wasn't, and now the US is complicent in taking an active role creating this war.

It seems like they deleted the video of the shooting.

The aftermath from the next morning remains.

I understand the ship eventually sank.

The freighter? I don’t know, but probably did.

The Vasiliy Bykov is still operating in the Black Sea. There was a derelict tanker that had been struck by a missile a week earlier and abandoned. It may or may not have been hit again in Ukraine’s MLRS launch against the Vasiliy Bykov, but it appears the warship was not hit. Of course I could be wrong, so if you have evidence, I’ll look at it.

That's the best excuse for a failed invasion, and a failed army I have seen today. It is too bad Putin's soldiers lack any respect for their own "ethnicity".

All that Putin's soldiers seem to want is women to rape and loot to take home. The fellow below stole a lot of jewelry, but didn't live to take it home to Russia.

That’s my point. They claim this or that ship but in the end the said ship is intact but the commercial freighter is hit. No credibility.

The photo you posted seems to indicate a war crime - executing prisoners.

He was apparently shot in the temple at very close range, as indicated by the burning around the wound, caused by the muzzle flash.

Unlikely, most of these guys died in a vehicle struck by an RPG or other missile. I have seen videos where the locals inspecting the wreckage look through the pockets of the dead Russians and bring out the jewelry.
