Dramatic first satellite pics show Putin’s prized £250million submarine & warship blown up by Storm Shadow missiles

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.

Why do you feel that was wrong?

I don't feel it was wrong. I know it was wrong. In fact, it was removed by the moderator. It's one thing to have strong opinions about any topic, but to wish a person a terrible death by nuclear radiation is truly awful.

Russia is the one trying to steal resources from Ukraine.

In matters of war, both men are more credible than, let’s say, a stay-at-home Neocon

Back in 1979 it was emphasized in a briefing that the thing that made Moscow virtually impenetrable was that the Russians never retire any system or resource when new technology makes it seemingly obsolete.   Having the T-55s in addition to new models could prove to be an advantage not a liability.

Please look at who I responded to.   I CC'ed you to let you know I agreed with you.

I replied to Round Earther that he was he was the problem because he and his comrades were goading Russia into a nuclear war.

"I replied to Round Earther that he was he was the problem because he and his comrades were goading Russia into a nuclear war."

The attack on Sevastopol is a pretty strong goad.

Thanks for revealing your complete craven dishonesty.

What dishonesty?

I asked you a question. You ducked it.

What is your answer?

I wouldn’t give a crap about anything in Mexico because we’d flatten them if they attacked us. I can’t imagine a more foreboding terrain for an invader to try and cross against American firepower and surveillance.

Would you insist we invade Mexico if they made a military alliance with the intent of preventing another American invasion?

Stop blowing smoke.   The comment was removed because you complained about it.   Then you claim it was proof of wrong doing because it was removed.
Causal fallacy, false cause, or non causa pro causa ("non-cause for cause" in Latin)—is a category of informal fallacies in which a cause is incorrectly identified. For example: "Every time I go to sleep, the sun goes down.

Try to address the truth he stated.

We are only months from total nuclear destruction to murder 7 billion individuals in achieving the stated goals of the WEF, Klaus Schwab and the rest of the Global Elites of the Great Reset.

The optimum population of Earth – enough to guarantee the minimal physical ingredients of a decent life to everyone – was 1.5 to 2 billion people rather than the 7 billion who are alive today or the 9 billion expected in 2050, said Ehrlich in an interview with the Guardian.

"How many you support depends on lifestyles. We came up with 1.5 to 2 billion because you can have big active cities and wilderness. If you want a battery chicken world where everyone has minimum space and food and everyone is kept just about alive you might be able to support in the long term about 4 or 5 billion people. But you already have 7 billion. So we have to humanely and as rapidly as possible move to population shrinkage."

The Population Bomb is a 1968 book co-authored by former Stanford University professor Paul R. Ehrlich and former Stanford senior researcher in conservation biology Anne H. Ehrlich.

The word above were from 2012.   He is 91 now and still believes it.

That wasn't what I said.

I've learned it's not worth bothering with sleazes who make up strawmen.

Putin knows Britain (storm shadow missile) and the USA reaper were involved. Ukraine just “pushed the launch button”, but he is down playing it, as to avoid a escalation with Nato. The fools on here, and in the Pentagon have got to know a war with Russia against Nato/US will lead to Nukes. They figure that their bunkers will save them. Both civilian population will lose.

also, Russia has over 50+ subs, and hundreds of surface warships. 2 recently destroyed will not have much impact. The dry-docks can be cleared in less than a month by the scrappers, quicker if they need to. I expect more involvement by Nato until it is a open provocation directly onto Russia, then the deep state will get their war, and our soldiers will die there along with Russian soldiers........and maybe even a nuclear exchange by both sides in which many here will die.

Russia has been careful with the escalation and not taking the bait on Moskva and Nordstream etc. But I would expect them to start hitting those decision making centers in Ukraine they have threatened to. They are packed with NATO officers and they have generally avoided them. But they’ll probably send a message soon.

“but destroying the drydocks would have been better.”

Hard to use a dry dock when you have to clean it up first.
I suspect they are not very usable at this point.

The target will not be the Ukraine, but US

then the bear will be vaporized from Planet Earth

and even the stupid old bear knows that

hmmm ... maybe the malicious bear should have just stayed on his own territory, instead of starting a war by illegally invading in Feb. 2022?

You’re one of those single-brain celled organisms who denies that Russia saw born in Ukraine a thousand years ago and that there has been a thousand years of history between them since then, aren’t ya?

I did not complain about it to anyone. I directly addressed the person who posted it. Period.
