NEWLY released satellite photos show the smouldering wreckage of two prized Russian naval assets after a devastating strike from Ukraine.

Yesterday, Kyiv's forces unleashed a barrage of ten cruise missiles along with kamikaze drones in a huge hit that rocked Putin's forces.

New dramatic photos shared on Twitter show the catastrophic damage inflicted on the landing ship "Minsk" and the Kilo-class "Rostov-on-Don" attack submarine.

Prior to the early morning attack, both vessels were allegedly awaiting repairs in a dry dock.

After the crippling strike, satellite imagery showed the crumbling, charred remains of the formerly great landing ship and submarine.

Another photo showed mangled metal from the Minsk as smoke continued to rise from the remains.

Russian forces in a Russian temporarily-occupied Ukrainian port.

Fixed it for you. :-)

Anyway, I'm sorry for your losses. Congrats though on having your submarine promoted to tank.

The USA started the war, you sleazy, lying warmonger.

Lol, which part of Russia did the United States attack, exactly?

Regime change. It’s what we do.

We are no longer the good guys.

If we ever were.

You’re on the side of FJB and George Soros and Hillary Clinton...

Okay, say I accept your premise re the Ukies, can you tell me what is worth the outcomes you propose?

LOL

You can't just help stepping in it. Did you just have no idea that the Russians were dusting off tanks designed and built in 1958?

They're eligible for Medicare!

That design is older than 85% of the Russian population!

LOL!

Say, you finally fessed up to falling for Macgregor's BS in March of 2022, but have you figured out why he was wrong yet?

A $250 million dollar prize submarine? Have we time-traveled back to 1960?

That’s a lot of money to a Slav unless you’ve been trafficking kiddies to politicians and laundering money.

Yep. And we implemented it pretty effectively in 1945 in Germany, Italy and Japan!

You’re on the side of FJB and George Soros and Hillary Clinton...

And you're on the side of Xi Xinping, Putin, Kim Jong Un, the Iranian mullahs and Bashar al Assad.

You're not answering the question.

Have you figured out why he was wrong, over and over again?

Just think of all those Russian natural resources we can steal.

No thanks. The Russians can keep their natural resources, they just need to return to their own borders and stop invading their neighbors. Nobody wants to conquer Russia (well except maybe the Chinese).

There are two possibilities: he's a blithering idiot or he's on the take. The evidence suggests he's on the take.

(There's a third possibility, that both are true, but that's too terrible to contemplate)

It was being scrapped in dry dock.

Nope - it was one of the subs that are used to launch Kalibre missiles into Ukraine. Routine shipyard maintenance.

the T-55 gunner’s active infrared sight out to a distance of several hundred yards. The problem is, the spotlight also is visible to any enemy forces with infrared optics.

That enemy tank is spotting him several miles away ...

What would we do if Russia placed a bunch of troops and missiles on the border with Mexico?

There were no US troops or missiles stationed in any country bordering Russia proper (Kaliningrad doesn't count) until after Russia invaded Ukraine. But please, keep trying.

Nope

As usual, you don't have a clue what the hell you are talking about. When are you going to go fight, instead of just encouraging other people to fight?
