THIS is the dramatic moment Russia's £300m stealth warship that was designed to carry hypersonic missiles went up in flames in a humiliating blow for Vladimir Putin.

New footage shows devastating fire damage to the new £307 million warship intended to carry Putin’s lethal Mach-9 hypersonic missiles....

...The scale of the blaze, which started on Friday in St Petersburg, has been viewed as a massive set back to the Kremlin’s naval modernisation programme.

Huge flames and thick smoke were seen rising from the corvette Provornyy at Severnaya Verf shipyard where it was being built.

The battleship was almost completely destroyed by the fire - the latest of a spate of mysterious blazes at top secret naval shipbuilding facilities ...

Well, since 1991 under Bush Sr all naval tactical weapons were -suppose-to be removed from all surface vessels, but I see your point.

[Wildbill22]

It is not a big ship either. A Harpoon anti-ship missile with it’s 500lb warhead would probably cut it in half.

[KTM rider]

Warships are obsolete now so they probably burned it on purpose

the future is biological warfare

much cheaper, in fact it actually brings in billions,

Just declare a pandemic and people will race in for a genetic engineered immune disorder injection, battleships are no longer needed

[M Kehoe]

That’s a shame.

Seems the Persians are having the same problem.

Matter of fact it has happened to the U.S. Navy.

We warned them about using Iranian subcontractors...

• US signs deal to seek and destroy China’s hypersonics -- US Missile Defense Agency partners with private firm Stratolaunch to match and defeat Chinese and Russian hypersonic weapons
• Iran's Talayieh warship has capsized in dry dock

See 19, and 21.

[Sirius Lee]

the future is biological warfare

And weaponized drone swarms.

There’s been a change in plans, we’re bombing Sudbury, not Windsor.

[Paladin2]

Open pit Nickel mining?

I think some large meteor hit there some years back.

[Hot Tabasco]

Mining, gambling, hockey, doesn’t matter, bomb the hell out of them by aiming south.

It was purchased at Walmart.

I guess ruskle sailors can say good bye to “grilled brat Tuesdays”.

” spate of mysterious blazes at top secret naval shipbuilding facilities ...”

[Drew68]

The warship the USN lost in a shipyard fire was 16 times the displacement of the Russian corvette.

And off the top of my head, I'd guess about 16 times the cost.

[Vaden]

Oh it was just a little joke.

One major difference is that ours was set by an arsonist, while Russia gives no real answers to why these things happen.

And Russia has had quite a number of these types of catastrophic “accidents” happen over the years. One notable example is the Kursk in 2000 when the subs own torpedoes exploded aboard ship and sank with no survivors. They could not get into the sub but refused external help at all. Weeks went by with no luck when they finally accepted Norway’s aid.

The biggest threat to our military is the Commicrat party and the Leftists inside our own government.

[Vaden]

Also, Russia’s navy is mostly small corvettes and missile boats. They possess only 12 actual destroyers, 3 cruisers, and 1 carrier. And Russia was claiming that they were “stealth.” (However, these boats can do their damage.)

So, when the Chinese want to take over Eastern Siberia ….

[reg45]

Shot! Not until after he has paid for the damages.

[gr8eman]

Don’t let facts get in the way of a good scam! My only question is who will take the (physical) hit when they can’t pretend “hypersonics” is real anymore?
