Ukrainian drones take out two Russian Raptor boats in the Black Sea near Snake Island where the Moskva was sunk
Daily Mail ^ | 5/2/2022 | Adam Solomons

This is the incredible moment a Ukrainian drone decimates a Russian patrol boat in the Black Sea.

Video recorded by the Bayraktar drone high above Snake Island this morning shows the unmanned vehicle wreck the Raptor attack craft below.

It is one of two Russian patrol vessels destroyed this morning, the Ukrainian navy said.

Chief of General Staff Valeriy Zaluzhniy wrote on Facebook: 'Two Russian Raptor-class boats were destroyed at dawn today near Zmiinyi (Snake) Island.'

Mr Zaluzhniy added: 'Bayraktars are working. Together to victory!'

Moscow did not respond to the reports.

Yay! Another war that brings no benefits to Americans, further bankrupts us, kills our youth, and enriches Democrats/ RINOs!

Russia started this.

I disagree. We started this by toppling Democratically Elected President Yanukovich in 2014.

“I disagree”

That’s your right.

“We started this by toppling Democratically Elected President Yanukovich in 2014.”

It’s 2022. How many elections have there been in Ukraine in the last 8 years?

Just asking.

wtf! -— The Russkies are learning what effective guerrilla warfare is. They are cursing the Ukie pests to the skies. Russkies got spanked and driven out of Afghanistan, but that lesson was long ago and has been forgotten.

Today’s Euro-guerrilla warfare is much more effective. With drones, GPS, loads of anti-tank and anti-aircraft rockets and missiles, superior communications..... With loads of targeting intel coming from the US and Europe. I think N S A is looking at Russian cell phones in Ukraine, using satellites too. Then of course sending Ukie forces this information.

Ukraine has waged a war on the breakaway Republics of Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk. Keep in mind. You never see Democratically elected Presidents deposed by Revolution. Why? In 4 years they can be voted out. The “Euromaiden Revolution” was a Revolution! It alienated the Russian Speaking Oblasts who then seceded. 8 years of civil war have brought us to today.

“They misspelled American.”

Probably made in Turkey although Ukraine recently got agreements with Turkey to manufacture in Ukraine.

Thank you for being concerned about what I post, Alex.

You have jumped to an improper conclusion.

Pointing out that the Democrats helped start and continue this war does not mean that I am for Russia in this war.

I am for The United States.

Your reasoning skills are sorely lacking.

More likely Turkish. They are cheap, have the range, and perfectly capable of hitting a sitting duck like this.

I agree that soetoro / xiden did stage a coup against Yanukovich, but Russia was always planning to rule Ukraine, one way or another.

Through political manuevering, like has been done in the US, with soetoro and xiden or by war, as now.

It's about territory, resources and power, as most wars are.

This is most likely true. Trump would have made it clear that he would not condone what Putin was planning. One reason the Russians went ahead, I think, is that they convinced the US admin that the Ukes would fold.

“Ukraine has waged a war on the breakaway Republics of Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk.”

Here in America the North waged war on the break away States of the south.

Maybe you heard about it.

Then again maybe not.

Duck hunting skills are a good skill to have if you are in a war with an enemy that is using small drones. Just don’t bring your dog to the fight.

I don't see why not.

How else will you retrieve your blasted drone, especially if it lands in water?
