Afire broke out on the Russian missile ship Serpukhov in the Kaliningrad region, causing significant damage, according to RBC-Ukraine source within special services.
The source says the fire engulfed the Serpukhov on April 7. It is a small missile ship of Project 21631 Buyan-M (the fifth ship in the series).
Since the full-scale war against Ukraine began, the Russians have already lost many ships, including those of the Black Sea Fleet. Recently, the Ukrainian military attacked large landing ships in Crimea, Yamal and Azov.
The Ukrainian Navy also confirmed the damage to the Russian medium reconnaissance ship Ivan Khurs.
On March 24, Ukrainian forces hit with a missile the large landing ship Konstantin Olshansky, which Russia stole from Ukraine in 2014 during the occupation of Crimea.
As the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy Dmytro Pletenchuk said in a comment to RBC-Ukraine, since the beginning of the full-scale war, Ukrainian fighters destroyed 4 large landing ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, leaving the occupiers with 5 amphibious assault ships in operation....

Drone strike? Or just Russian incompetence?
Whatever, anything that weakens or bogs-down this warmongering monster helps the whole World win!
Ah gee, that’s just too bad, ain’t it.
If nothing else the Ukraine war, which has deployed a modicum of modern technology, has demonstrated that the era of the naval surface combatant and most armored land vehicles is over. The technology will only improve, become more stealthy, more lethal and easier to deploy and operate.
Trying to change the subject again?
Must not talk about huge Russian losses! Da!
FWIW, Kalingrad is Russia, but separated from Russia proper by Lithuania and Poland. On the Baltic coast. Captured from the Nazis in 1945. Very rich area. I’ve been there on business. Bit like Switzerland. Used to be a major military location.
Ukraine is farther yet, to the South.
This sounds like just an accident, to me. But anything is possible in this war.
...source says.
Who’s source?
What source?
It was the Colonel’s special source.

A prolonged proxy war gives the world wide military industrial complex an opportunity to test their latest and greatest technologies.
Update on the conflict in Ukraine for April 8, 2024…
- Ukrainian forces continue losing territory as arms, ammunition, and manpower shortages continue to grow;
- Ammunition "initiatives" across Europe claiming to have found "millions" of artillery rounds gloss over important factors such as caliber, interoperability, and the condition of rounds held in storage;
- At best, the initiatives will temporarily provide Ukraine with enough ammunition to match previous rates of fire, but other critical shortages will continue to grow meaning the vector sum of the fighting will still favor Russian forces;
- Attempts by the US and Europe to intervene in Ukraine as a means of checking Russian advances may end in even worse defeat for the collective West;
- Attempts by Ukraine to target Russian oil refineries have led Western analysts to falsely conflate fuel export bans with perceived damage and repair efforts;
- Claims that Russia is unable to repair energy production infrastructure are based on the same flawed reasoning that led many Western analysts to assume Russia's military industrial base would be crippled following Western sanctions;
Yep
And get new funding
Which is great since we have so much extra money! /Ike

Which they will turn on the citizenry once they think they have the power and free space to do so without consequences.
It’a shame that a nations young must foot the bill for foreign interventions!
We’ll have a good example in Russia, flatten their own cities, tell those windows to shut up, empty prisons and send to front. No freedom of speech, no freedom to assemble, yup great template
Yes, it's just wrong.

What about the warmongering, war-instigating and war-fomenting monster in Washington D.C.?
