Russia's massive Admiral Makarov warship has reportedly been hit by Ukrainian missiles causing it to burst into flames.
The Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate was on fire this morning in what would be a fresh blow for warmonger Vladimir Putin, a number of reports have said.

It’s in the New York Times now.
“The Hunt for Red October.” The State Dept. rep says to the Russian ambassador, “You’ve lost another submarine,?”
Or more accurately, The Hunt for Red October
