Russia used a diesel submarine in the Black Sea to strike Ukrainian military targets with Kalibr cruise missiles, the first time Moscow has announced the use of its submarine fleet to hit its former Soviet neighbor.
The Russian defense ministry released a video showing a volley of Kalibr missiles emerging from the sea and soaring off into the horizon - to what the ministry said were Ukrainian military targets.
This is the first time Russia's military has reported using submarine strikes against Ukrainian targets, Interfax news agency reported on Friday.

FYI Ping.
When the “Ukrainians” sink a submarine we will know for sure the USA is directly assisting them.
Uncle Sam needs to go to time out corner and stop interfering in others’ affairs.
$10 billion to build the wall was ridiculed by the MSM as being way too much money, but $33 billion to Ukraine for a proxy war is okay with them.
Shurely we are lurking nearby. I wonder what comes next.
And plenty of home-grown cheerleaders rootin them on.
But...but...we can MULTI-TASK!!!
“Uncle Sam needs to go to time out corner and stop interfering in others’ affairs.”
Russia can go first and show us how it’s done.
Name of sub...Moska-2
“This is an escalation worthy of note.”
Russia can end this today if it just calls off its invasion of a smaller and weaker neighbor that posed no real threat to Russia. Why won’t Russia do that, do you think?
LOL!
I wonder when/how Russia is going to pay us back.
“This thing could get out of hand”
Last I checked, the Ukraine was still Russia's neighbor.
It is an escalation. It isn't particularly surprising.
Not trying to quibble with those who said it's important.
I would agree.
It is my business to evaluate Russian Submarines and Submarine Launched Missiles.
When the “Ukrainians” sink a submarine we will know for sure the USA is directly assisting them.
/\
I suspected it when I heard the russian warship was hit
And the refinery hits miles inside Russia.
And Joe’s comment/Freudian slip
to the 82nd way before that.
And the Nuland/Rubio tango even before that.

Why won’t Russia do that, do you think?
***They want the oil & gas reserves. This war is about OIL. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4050958/posts
The Russians weren’t even interested in eastern Ukraine until oil was found there. Their interest is simply in raping that country. Russia gets 60% of its revenues from oil exports. Europe gets 40% of their oil from Russia.
In 2012 massive oil and gas reserves were found in Crimea. Crimea signed a $10 billion exploration contracts with Shell and Chevron to develop the new found oil and gas fields. These oil and gas products would compete in Europe with Russia’s oil and gas, reducing Russia’s oil revenues, which we recall amount to 60% of their total GDP. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, cancelling the contracts with Shell and Chevron.
But Ukraine still had massive reserves in, you guessed it, Donetsk and Luhansk, and other areas East of the Dnieper River. In 2019, Energy Secretary Rick Perry visited Ukraine, and soon after Ukraine awarded exploration contracts to a consortium of U.S. oil companies. Again, these oil reserves would compete in Europe with Russian oil, so Putin is invading Ukraine to shut down this latest attempt to extract Ukrainian oil and sell it in competition with Russian oil.
This explanation makes more sense to me than the “Putin feels threatened by NATO expansion” excuses for the invasion.

If the Ukes allow some small region in the west to be its own republic, but the OIL belongs to Ukraine, do ya think Pootypoot would allow that? Nope.
