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.

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

They're not actually bringing these up to fight tanks. Their 100mm barrels are poor for that job this century. They're going to use these for indirect fire, because they're losing so many tubes to wear and counter battery fire.

Still indicative of the state of today's Russian army that they've resorted to this. I'm amazed by the Russophiles on this forum that are unphazed by these developments.

“Just keep poking the bear....”

If the bear can’t bear being poked, the bear needs to go home.

The problem you ignore is that the bear can easily stop the poking in a very permanent way.   The target will not be the Ukraine, but US.   All of us.

The problem is you.

When the world seems to be backing the money launderer, then I would say Russian is backed into the corner.
I despise the Russians, but they aren’t back feeding money into the hands of the Democrat’s either....IMHO

Of course they are. The Russians have fringe creatures in both political parties on their payroll. Clintonite Democrats like the Sidney Blumenthal family, Bernie dems like Tulsi Gabbard, etc.

Sounds interesting. What did he write?

Neither one of those ships were being scrapped.

Who told you that, Ukraine, US or UK? You fools believe anything. LOL

OMG, your remark about death by radiation poisoning is tremendously uncalled for. Sheesh! Disagree but don’t be so vicious about it. Have at least a smidgen of class.

Why do you feel that was wrong?   We all know what we are in for.   The Neocons will be our end.

Are you not aware that nuclear weapons are being moved around right now to expedient positions?

Im the problem? LOL, sure sure.
If the US doesn’t want to be a target stop demilitarizing our military by providing equipment and draining our pocketbooks.
You love the Uki’s? when are you joining them to fight the Ruskies??

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

What would you want us to do?

Would you want us to invade Mexico again?

Uh huh. Meanwhile, back in reality:

Despite war, over 22,000 Jewish pilgrims arrive in Ukraine for Rosh Hashanah

Says the vicious nuclear warmonger.

How wrong you are. Last thing I want is war of any kind. I want our country to pull our troops out of every international base and come home. It's long since time we took care of our own instead of meddling everywhere else.
