Ukrainian sea drones attacked a major naval base in Russia on Friday, leaving a damaged Russian warship listing in the Black Sea in a brazen strike carried out hundreds of miles from Ukrainian-held territory.

Dramatic social media videos showed the vessel, an amphibious Russian landing ship, tilting badly and sitting very low in the water as it was being towed near the base at Novorossiysk, Russia’s largest port.

They should use their drones and take out the towing ship(s). That would send a message.

Yeah, that’s just what we need. More war. Does anybody want peace anymore? Other than Trump, everybody is on board for this Ukraine Titanic adventure which is bankrupting us and depleting our own war supplies.

You mean another 10 missiles that don’t work launched at a Ukrainian city? The more inept each Russian “devastating attack” is the more emboldened Ukraine becomes.

They’re not really Ukrainian drones are they? Aren’t Turkey and the US supplying them?

Nothing to see. Great Russian tactics of making navy cruiser into submarine.

Russia has spent the past 18 months bombing Ukraine, Ukrainian homes and industry.

This is Ukrainian retaliation after 18 months.

Stop shilling for Putin

They are Ukrainian.

Or do you say that the missiles used by the Saudis to kill Yemeni civilians are not really Saidi?

Ukraine seems to be having more luck with these sea drones than anything else. Something other countries may wants to note.

From info gathered the drones used by Ukraine, several sources have said that they bought drones from Turkey, and that the U.S. has also sent them. It has also been reported that an agreement was set up between Turkey and Ukraine for them to joint-manufacture drones and warships. This is from December 2022:

Full List of Drones Ukraine Has at Its Disposal

It was also reported by Newsweek in October of last year that Iran was supplying Ukraine with drones:

Ukraine War's Most Devastating Drones, Ranked

In this May 2023 issue of The Atlantic, it lists the various drones Ukraine is using on the battlefield. I picked one to see who manufactured it: the DJI M30 is manufactured by DJI Enterprise, whose address is DJI Sky City, No.55 Xianyuan Road, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China. Also in the list is the DJI Matrice 300 drone, made by the same Chinese company.

"Stop shilling for Putin"

You sound like a freaking liberal, who has to resort to name calling when someone says something you don't like. You think the only reason people on this site are opposing this war is because they are shilling for Putin? That's a very ignorant, and childish assumption. I happen to despise both countries, and I hope they destroy each other, but not with my tax dollars or military equipment, while this country is being destroye, and corrupted from within. What part of saving America don't you understand? America needs saving, but fighting another proxy war with Russia isn't going to do that. The war in Ukraine is just another distraction so the commies here can continue their corruption right under your nose.

“while this country is being destroye, and corrupted from within. What part of saving America don't you understand?”

So corruption and destruction of America started with US aid for Ukraine and America will be saved once the aid ends ?

Additionally, I wonder what's your opinion on Taiwan and what the US should do If the Chinese invasion begins ?
