If you didn’t see this one coming you need your head examined.
Russian navy is garbage, a joke.
Pics are too big, thread is screwed up on iPad. Forbes reported this ship was sunk, now it is just damaged. We cannot believe any news site on Uke information. Might as well get all our news from the Bee.
It is to laugh.
In the next world war, all ships will be sitting ducks......................
Hey Ivan the pointy end of the missile goes toward the open end of the canister.
Failure to follow this procedure could result in catastrophic damage.
Forbes is not a news site. People just pay Forbes to post stuff there. It’s a blog, with zero vetting or editorial oversight by any entity called “Forbes.”
The idiot news guys said it’s the most drastic ship sinking since the 2nd war.
I guess they forgot about the Brits’ loss of the Sheffield (among others) during the Falklands ...: https://historylists.org/other/list-of-6-british-ships-sunk-during-the-falklands-war.html#:~:text=Six%20British%20ships%20%28and%20one%20LCU%20craft%29%20were,Argentine%20bombs%2C%20after%20hitting%20their%20targets%2C%20didn%27t%20explode.
Some day we may have announcers (’reporters’) who are actually informed and educated.
Note flying saucer in lower left...
Combat casualty (according to Ukraine) or accident (according to Russia) no good way for Russia to spin this. Either way, this is a devastating blow because it means one of two things; either Russian warships have no means of integrated self-defense and are sitting ducks, or their crews or so poorly trained in the basic handling and stowage of ordnance that they occasionally blow their own ships up.
It also likely means Russia is going to escalate as a means to take revenge, turn morale around, and put this event behind them.
Just wait until the chicoms decide to set sale. Their Navy Hyme is a direct copy of “Disney’s Under The Sea” even before they launch the submarines.
Launch Tube cover..................
Perhaps he meant just for Russia................
The Russian bear can’t swim?......WHO KNEW!
