Putin suffers Black Sea nightmare as Ukrainian drones wipe out seven boats in major blow
Express UK ^ | 5/30/2024 | John Varga

Ukraine destroyed seven boats in a devastating attack on Russia's Black Sea navy in the Crimea.

Ukraine launched a spectacular and devastating attack on Russia's Black Sea Fleet, inflicting major damage on Putin's navy.

The Black Sea Fleet is stationed in Crimea, which was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014.

Throughout the current war, Ukraine has managed to sink a number of vessels from the fleet including the Moskva flagship missile cruiser.

Through a combination of missiles and drones, Kyiv's army has succeeded in nullifying the threat from Putin's navy in the Black Sea, regularly inflicting huge humiliations on the fleet.

This has allowed Ukraine to keep open its commercial sea channels, enabling it to continue its grain exports - a vital source of income for Kyiv's beleaguered government.

In another daring raid captured by onboard video cameras, Ukrainian maritime drones attacked a a Russian ship-and-boat warehouse in the Crimea.

Russia's army scrambled its aircraft thirty two times in a desperate bid to prevent the drones from hitting their target.

This is really hilarious.

You brag about your Ukes destroying these:

Say it isn't so.   Humphrey Bogart won't be able to smuggle his clients onto the island now.   Russia is done for.

You Zeepers really are fine entertainment on a slow afternoon.

Steven Seagal being awarded the “Hero of Russia” medal by “Putin” at a big Kremlin ceremony today is too good to pass up.

Who cares about Steven Seagull?
You seem pretty obsessed with him, Tucker, and eggs for some reason.

All marcus' gerbils escaped from his basement dungeon, so he had to go with eggs.

If you know what I mean.

On the plus side, he discovered that eggs don't have scratchy feet.

Do you have any clue that we all laughed when Steven Seagal acted like a real Sheriff in real life?
Steven Seagal: Lawman is an American reality television series that aired on A&E for its first two seasons and Reelz for its third. It stars actor, martial artist and musician Steven Seagal, performing his duties as a reserve deputy sheriff in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana (season 1–2) and Maricopa County, Arizona (season 3). It premiered on December 2, 2009.
The joke is on you and I cannot believe you think that this disturbs any of us.

“The Navy’s role seems to be minimal at best. I’m not sure the Navy has any role”

Mobile launch platforms for cruise missiles are not a joke. Russian naval vessels are and will remain priority targets of defensive operations.

The invader loses attack assets. Boo-Hoo.

That’s the kind of context that a foreigner wouldn’t understand or know.

What fable? That the US government committed a coup in Ukraine?

Yes. I do not deny that there was CIA involvement but it is ridiculous to suggest that the massive protests were simply the result of this. The EU/Ukraine agreement was supported by 2/3 of the people, had been supported by Yanukovych himself when he ran for president, and was approved by the parliament. But Yanukovych reversed himself at the last minute because of Russian interference and intimidation and attempted to bind Ukraine to the Russian lead Eurasian Economic Union, something that the pro-Russian crowd here wants to forget. The popular protests were spontaneous and not CIA driven. They got out of hand when Yanukovych resorted to violence. He then fled the country and was removed by the democratically elected parliament, not by a CIA coup.

Additionally, there have been two popular national elections since. Something else that the pro-Russian crowd wants to forget. All this talk about a "CIA coup" is a bunch of hogwash used to justify the Russian invasion and attempt to subjugate Ukraine. Nor, as it is often claimed, is this a surrogate war except for the keyboard warriors who somehow imagine that a Russian victory would be a blow to the dreaded NWO. Russia could live in peace if they just went home.
