I heard Russia supplied the high explosives to do the job. No one answered the question of how a small boat could blow a hole that large in a military ship without a shaped penetrating charge. This wasnt c4... if it wasnt where did a bunch of barely literate terrorists get the explosives? Was this russians revenge for the perceived american destruction of the kursk?
They aren’t called “tin cans” for nothing. The hulls on these vessels is pretty thin to keep them light.
A couple hundred pounds of high explosives would do a job on just about any ship.
