The missile strike that killed a top Russian admiral is proof that Ukraine is mastering the art of 21st century warfare

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.

-snip-

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.

So, the story you posted is debunked within hours, but you are sticking with it.

Because Ukraine propaganda is always true!

AND, your counter theory is that he really is dead, and they had his corpse attend the meeting via video.

This is the problem I see with Ukrainian apologists. Once you start believing the preposterous claims of the Ukraine it becomes a habit. And soon you need more and more hopium to feed it.

AND in a short time you are propounding truly wacky claims like your claim a corpse is attending meetings.

According to a Sept. 19 scorecard by the Belfer Center at Harvard's Kennedy School, Russia has gained 35 square miles of territory from Ukraine in the past month while Ukrainian forces have taken 16 square miles from Russian forces.

So much for the offensive.

yes, but think about it.. Putin has been fairly restrained in hindsite. He could level the entire capital of Ukraine to the ground if he wanted without even using nukes.

No he really can’t. Not without getting close enough with a lot of artillery.

Putin can’t just carpet bomb the whole city? or shoot 100 cruise missiles at it?

Hello Russian newbie. So you claim the admiral is still alive. Fascinating.

We need to bring back the deck of cards. But this time, they’ll have Russian officers on them.

Oh boy some people on here are just frauds and propagandists who try to mislead everyone else.

Your lack of self awareness is astonishing.

I think it is proof of something much more dangerous - that NATO is bypassing the inept Ukrainian military and acting directly against Russia.

“Ukraine is mastering the art of 21st century warfare.”

No they are not... OUR “advisors” are already on the controls of OUR technology. We can fly everything we gave them like this from the U.S. with a satellite, a computer, and a keyboard or joystick...

Being ignorant enough to think this is a “remote” war is absolutely laughable.
