Ukraine destroys Russian landing ship after state media revealed its location with propaganda footage: Huge fireball rises over port that had been taken by Putin's forces
Daily Mail ^ | 3/24/2022 | Chris Pleasance

Ukraine claims to have destroyed a huge Russian ship just days after state media filmed it unloading reinforcements at a captured port, as Putin's army continues to suffer punishing losses at the hands of Kyiv's men.

The Ukrainian navy said early Thursday that it had scored a direct hit on the Orsk, a 370ft Russian Alligator-class tank carrier, as it was sitting at anchor in the captured port of Berdyansk, in the south of Ukraine.

Multiple photos and videos showed flames and thick black smoke towering over the port. Just three days before the strike, Russian state media had filmed the Orsk at the port unloading armoured vehicles which it said would reinforce troops in nearby Mariupol - prompting speculation that Ukraine could use the video to target the vessel.

RT Video:

Russian propaganda was celebrating the occupation of Berdyansk and this very ship just 2 days ago.

By God! That Ukrainian dog has fight.
I can only sit back and admire the Ukrainian people and the fight they are putting up.

Putin is apparently as dumb as the criminals who post videos of their crimes on Facebook, inviting the police to arrest them.

This headline and narrative make no sense. Do the nitwits at the Daily Mail actually believe the Ukrainians weren’t aware of the presence of this ship sitting at a pier in a port city until they saw it on TV?

Whenever you read an article saying the US/CIA caused the 2014 Maidan Revolution and removal of Yanokovich, you know that article is a lie, disinformation, and manipulation. It was the Ukrainian people themselves who laid down their lives — 97 were murdered by his hired guns — that threw the pro-Russian deceiver out.

Concur.

The real story is there is egg on the face of Russia that they used the boat for propaganda.

The reporter, believing that the media is the solution — or cause — of all good things and bad things filtered the story to make this about the Russian media being the cause of the attack as a slam against other media.

Now, if the Russian reporter was named “Geraldo”, the Daily Mail might have a point.

But the inaccurate lens is just a symptom of the self-importance media gives themselves and other media.

It’s why there are giant stories about media people dying or whatever.

The only issue is that a lot of tanks and equipment could have been offloaded in the three days before the ship was attacked.

It can carry:

300–425 troops and, 20 tanks or 40 AFVs or 1,000 tons

Those ships were also blasting Mariupol. Now one of them is sunk. The other two are fleeing, with one of them still on fire. So they won’t be returning to Berdyansk anytime soon or shelling Mariupol, either. So even though supplies were offloaded, those ships are out of service.

Time-lapse video showing the events at the port of Berdyansk this morning. Two LSTs left the port, one of them was on fire.

The main reason Russia has been holding out in the south is they can resupply by sea. Everywhere else it has to be by truck, and those trucks are being carved up by infantry with AGTMs.

If Ukraine can start inflicting damage on the sea lanes the Russian campaign in along the coast will also stop.

Agree.
I might be torn as to disliking the globalist backing and impetus for this war (although I consider Putinist Russia and its apologists worthy only of being put down with extreme prejudice), but no matter what Soros or Brandon's handlers are saying or doing, the Ukrainian PEOPLE are patriots fighting for their country
