This is proof that Ukraine – with the help of the West – is mastering the art of 21st century warfare.
The Sevastopol missile strike that killed Admiral Viktor Sokolov along with 34 of his officers on Saturday shows that modern military operations depend on combining accurate intelligence and rapid decision-making with advanced machinery.

The result is a humiliating blow to Russian morale. While the Kremlin-controlled media has so far remained largely silent about the raid, rage-filled posts on social media complain of Moscow's inept handling of its 'special military operation'.
Many point out that the losses of the fleet, supposedly one of the jewels of the Russian military, are mounting alarmingly. Not only was its flagship, the Moskva, sunk in April last year, but a number of other major vessels including two warships and a modern submarine were destroyed last week in dry dock in Sevastopol.
But what does this missile attack mean? The immediate effect on the Black Sea Fleet will be operational paralysis until new officers assume command.

Ooops. Maskirovka.
The Daily Mail publishing propaganda that Ukraine is “mastering the art of 21st century warfare” when the U.S. and the UK are the ones pulling the strings.
It was still a victory in Ukraine’s hearts
Today’s copium.
proof that Ukraine – with the help of the West
Russia tore down the rest of the HQ yesterday. A total loss.
Is that the Admiral flying out the window?
Oh Brother. Ukraine got their butts whooped and the NATO boys shot a missile and killed one dude for them.
Hilarious propaganda out of the UK.
A tear down usually does not occur that quickly. There are classified documents to be secured, and for a building like that, there would be lots and lots of documents to be secured - truckloads of them. That takes some time to arrange and execute.
It’s a war.
Aren’t you one of the childish ones that told us the admiral can’t be dead?
Oh boy some people on here are just frauds and propagandists who try to mislead everyone else.
You mean now the admiral really died? Because you said that was a lie.
And how could you possibly know anything.
