THIS is the dramatic moment Russia's £300m stealth warship that was designed to carry hypersonic missiles went up in flames in a humiliating blow for Vladimir Putin.
New footage shows devastating fire damage to the new £307 million warship intended to carry Putin’s lethal Mach-9 hypersonic missiles....
...The scale of the blaze, which started on Friday in St Petersburg, has been viewed as a massive set back to the Kremlin’s naval modernisation programme.
Huge flames and thick smoke were seen rising from the corvette Provornyy at Severnaya Verf shipyard where it was being built.
The battleship was almost completely destroyed by the fire - the latest of a spate of mysterious blazes at top secret naval shipbuilding facilities ...

Lol! Just lol.

And Xi is having a good laugh too. Must be some vodka swilling Russkie sailors that ... Christmas parties drinking and all, let this ship go up in smoke.
Being from the Detroit area, I always wondered about that line. I was thinking maybe Melvindale.
Sort of like a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.
Mossad?
That’s what happens when you try to play the first world game with third world finances.
The crewman — Ryan Mays — accused of the sabotage is being tried now. If guilty, he should be shot.
Re-arming Russian warships with tactical nuclear weapons will be new

When weren’t they?
Mossad?

Nah. They have bigger fish to fry.
Well-played
All that is, is the boys on a smoke break!
I wonder if they covered the fire and destruction of a billion dollar US warship that burned to the waterline while docked in Hawaii some months back. Talk about humiliation. The crew had never been trained in fire fighting.
Where are all of the Russian trolls and Pooty Poot bots ?
They can’t even maintain their Navy or keep their top aircraft lines open for production.
LMAO
“90 second video of nobody fighting the fire, and some assorted pix at link”
They wuz drunk on their asses from vodka.
