However there are a number of scenarios where this may happen. Moldova recently warned that it saw an increased threat of an amphibious landing to attempt to create a land bridge to Transnistria. Alternatively Russia may be anticipating a Ukrainian advance south from Kherson towards Crimea.

Forte 11 right now.

Does it include Russia’s one and only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, that has to be towed everywhere it goes, all the while belching black smoke?

[marcusmaximus]

The big question is where is the Alrosa? It might have had made a "goodwill gesture" in the Black Sea during Russia's missile attacks last Friday.

[PIF]

No - its still undergoing “repairs” in the North.

Putins Burial at Sea ?

“One ping only!”

Funny you should ask, it was in the news:

A fire erupted Thursday aboard the Russian navy’s sole aircraft carrier while it was being refurbished in dry dock, but there were no reports of injuries, according to state-run media.

Fire crews quickly extinguished the flames aboard the Admiral Kuznetsov, the flagship of the Russian navy, while it was in the dry dock in Murmansk in northwest Russia, the TASS news agency reported.

Could be Putin’s revenge if Ukraine sunk the Alrosa last Friday. It was the only Russian sub in the western Black Sea for a long while after Putin sent the other 3 subs back to Novorossiysk.

Several military strategists predicted a significant Russian offensive in the winter.

Last week, Putin was making threats to knock out all power in Western Ukraine before Dec 25.

Isn’t the left side of Forte 11’s track where Alrosa may have gone down?

Perhaps RU is prepping for a major cruise missile attack.

Thanks for the ping.

That recently caught fire while docked way up north.

[jmacusa]

Currently the Admiral Kuznetsov is on fire, burning stem to stern.

Guess this is the Russkies idea of a ‘’Yule Log’’.

[chopperk]

If demented Joe thinks Putin is going to back down he is making a serious judgement error. Our woke, CRT military will get destroyed in combat in the Ukraine arena. Putin will use everything he has against the USA including nukes.

There’s also been an increase in US Navy activity, but it seems to be about mass issuance of skirts, lipstick, high heels and lingerie stolen by the FBI. And the females in the Navy are mad they aren’t included in the issuance.

their carrier caught fire yesterday.

[doggieboy]

No mention of the submarine Moskva?

[Jan_Sobieski]

Wait…our highly esteemed Senator Mitch McConnell said we destroyed Russia’s military without looosing a soldier? Are you SURE those are RUSSIAN ships? /s
