Something’s burning :-)

At least two warships and possibly a sub
Whatever next?

That's a Bullseye! :)

The Cesar Kunikov amphibious assault ship plus a kilo class sub.
Possibly also the training establishment next to the repair dock that was hit.

For weeks Ukraine has been systematically eliminating Russian air defence and EW capability around Crimea and the Black Sea, culminating in the retaking of the so-called “Boiko Towers” drilling platforms stolen from Ukraine in 2014, which Russia had been using for early warning.

Good news :-)

An appearance on Russian state tv by defence minister Shoigu has been removed from their website: it has Shoigu being asked by a reporter: “Will we win?” to which Shoigu responds with a “search me” gesture.
Ha ha ha
Window for Mr S I think …

[nicebloke1]

Is that now a lowering of expectations, or just stuck for words.

[Khandro]

Oh ! what rejoicing there will be ?

Hip, hip!  ............. what ?

[ichkeria]

It sounds very much like, if you celebrate something it will be more real somehow 😀

Meanwhile more Crimean air defence taken out over night. Dzhankoi and Evpatoriya at least: just waking up to this ...

Слала Україні! 🇺🇦🔥

[Khandro]

I liked this in this morning's Telegraph;

 

"It has even been suggested that the Russian leader will offer North Korea help with developing its satellite programme in return for Pyongyang providing the Kremlin with weapons. If so, Kim will want reassurances from Moscow that any future co-operation in this field will not suffer the same fate as the last Soyuz-2 lunar probe to be launched from Vostochny in August, which ended up crashing during its attempt to land on the Moon."  😄

Buying weapons from N Korea would subject Russia to even more sanctions, so they are liable to play down that aspect.

"Слала Україні! 🇺🇦🔥 "

I can't even type in Ukrainian (!)

Putin's attack dog right-hand man 'critically ill in coma' after mystery illness

Ramzan Kadyrov recently paid tribute to Yevgeny Prigozhin after the Wagner leader died in a plane crash.

 

Yet another coincidence in the land of coincidences ?

Kadyrov has been ill for months. Probably drug related. His death would be a blow tho to Putin almost certainly.
