Where and with what?
There are no US carriers in the Black Sea.
I guess the Russians can send a submarine after a US carrier group somewhere in the world, but far from land and Russian bases it would be unsupported with intel and targeting for its cruise missiles.

Those aircraft tracks that you posted indicate that the strike was South of the Ukraine - South of Romania even.

Big festivities for the long Victory Day weekend.

A lot to celebrate come Monday.

I guess the ship’s coal bunker caught fire.

It might be 2 Russian ships that were hit. The first near Snake Island. The second one further south. Russian subs might be heading in to retaliate. It will be an interesting weekend to see how this plays out.

” That would likely entail an opening “Shock and Awe” salvo of strikes on Military, leadership and infrastructure targets across the Russian homeland.”

Then they launch. Happily, DC would be an early target.

This is the first pic that I have seen, that claims to be the Admiral Makarov on 6 May (from the UK Mirror, off of Twitter):

This one popped up on a Google image search just now (from zazoom.it, whatever that is)

Yapping dog Mattis. LOL... that old “bachelor”.

In your ardor to attack Russia directly on behalf of Ukraine, how many millions of Americans are you ready to see die on behalf of globalist dominated Ukraine that has bribed half of DC?

Until you can cite a reliable source, everyone will view you as full of sh!t.

Rightfully so.

What if Russia decides to sink one of our carriers with over 5,000 souls on board as a tit for tat?

A good enough reason for letting Putin do whatever the hell he wants.

Russia not smart.

Ukraine was hitting Russian troops and equipment on Snake Island with drone strikes this week in order to lure the Admiral Makarov closer in. And Russia fell into the trap. Boom!

Russia has full top down surveillance on Ukraine since the country became independent. Actually have sat surveillance on the entire planet.

Giving Ukrainians surveillance data of their own region is simply making the fight fair.

There’s no honor in having one man bring a machine gun to a duel and Russians have no reason to whine if they want to be honorable.

As far as hitting a carrier, we have missile defense on every ship that is regularly tested and not sold for booze. If they f around, they’ll find out very soon...

To be fair, we couldn’t beat a bunch of 7th century goatherders in mountains in Afghanistan, but then, the Russians couldn’t either.

Afghanistan is were empires go to die.

unconfirmed and a “local Odessa source” is all that is cited.
