Snake Island fell at the beginning of the invasion on February 24 with the assault of two Russian ships, led by the Moscowwhich weeks later was sunk by a Ukrainian missile.

From Ukraine, the information coming out of Moscow has not been confirmed or denied, but they have announced that during these days there have been attacks around the island of Serpents, including Victory Day itself, when Russia commemorates the defeat of the german army in WWII.

Ukraine struck back with Bayraktar TB2 drones destroying a Serna-class landing craft and two Raptor-class patrol boats, as well as damaging a third.

I guess Ukraine is only supposed to use Ukrainian arms.

Some of these Russia guys have a retarded view of how the world works.

“They’re useless without all the help they’re getting.”

Were we much better before the French and others started helping us in the Revolutionary War?

Over and over again there are reports (even one from a Russian, pro-Putin journalist I saw a couple of days ago) that shows the Ukrainians are tougher, fight smarter, have better morale, fight more doggedly, and win hands down when the forces are evenly matched.

You posted this under General/Chat, also OK and in the proper FR forum.

There was no necessity in the Qualification: "[Russia Claims]"

The source stands on it's own.

Alexander Mercouris reports today:

...and there's also reports which I've seen from Ukrainian sources that something like large numbers of Bayraktar drones were lost in two weeks in the battle over Snake Island, and that Turkey is becoming increasingly concerned about this, and that almost as many Bayraktar drones were lost in these naval confrontations over Snake Island as have been lost in all of the rest of the war.

I can't confirm any of this.

The defending nation will always fight harder and have better morale than any conscription force. They are only evenly matched with our intel and weapons.( and NATO nations)

I just truly don’t give a shit about either country, and ours is being invaded. The Soviet Union is dead and it isn’t coming back. The idea that Russia is going to just keep advancing is comical.

Our country is f’d up. How about we fix our country?

The fact that you think this is a binary issue shows your elementary level thought process.

And you were a big proponent of masks and the vaccine over the last 2 years. I remember your arguments that we were all gonna die and that we had a duty to mask up to “save other ppl,” and if we refused, we were heartless and cruel. It looks like you fall for whatever the MSM tells you to think. 🤣
