Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Very good montage.Creepy ,actually.Hope it gets seen in Moscow.

It's a fairly effectively chosen targets. The Turks closing the access route means the Black Sea fleet is stuck as is. It's not like an airbase where reinforcements can be flown in or a front where armoured vehicles can be sent via rail/lorry from the Far East.

Includes today's excellent work best since moskva 16 visually confirmed first sub in modern day warfare from a country with no navy

Would make you wonder what the repairs could have justified the sub being docked? It's a relatively new sub, no? Either complete ignorance/ incompetence if it wasn't serious damage that needed repairing? Surely it could just have stayed at sea?

Yes, Port Arthur is often referenced with regard to Japanese surprise attacks. The Russian naval humiliations continued, sending their Baltic Fleet halfway around to world to get sunk by the Japanese at Tsushima.

As an aside, if you ever come across the series Reilly: Ace of Spies starring Sam Neill, there is an episode covering that attack.

British missiles used in the attack is beautiful to hear. The Brits now own Putin's ass and he can do the square root of f all about it. 🤣

That's for Sailsbury Moscow dwarf 👊

"You like cathedrals, we got your sub

How do you like them cathedrals"

I think you have got to the crux of the issue here, given corruption is rife in the Russian military this means the top brass are never held accountable , so incompetence is not punished. To think at one stage Russia was considered the second strongest army in the world . Haha. The Ukrainans are showing you don't have to take Crimea by force,just chip away at Russia's ability to occupy it before they are eventually forced to retreat. If this does happen I hope Kermit can come back to comment about it:)

Well when you consider the hazing (Dedovschina) Russians go through in the first year of their basic training, , hard to see any of them being unaffected by it. And it just festers along all the way up through the ranks.....

That's fair enough, thanks for info. It just seems, given Ukraine's limited options for attack and their recent modus operandi, that storing such valuable assets right under their noses is massively risky. Its not like you can throw a tarp over a sub, or move the dry docks around - they're a fixed target so all the Ukrainians need to do is keep an eye out for new arrivals. I wouldn't want to be relying on my air defence systems for guaranteed protection there.

Their mistake was not putting tyres on top of the sub 😂
