Devilishly devious, n'est pas?
If past performance is a predictor of the future, there is a fair chance of x'lent photo ops of the keel of a Ropucha Class beside the wharf.
The smoke n' mirrors within Belarus being called out is a good move, it may be the trigger if it occurs for the removal of the last dicktater of Europe to be strung up by his constituency (although finding anyone who actually voted poor him could be a problem). Permitting a criminal that holds the short hairs of your very own dear leader to the point that he is OK with blowing up infrastructure in his own country, as a pretext to send his very own corruption starved, diminished military into an expanded war is hardly a way of winning voter support. Is there something in the water or medication that the putrid pack are taking, magic mushooms, LSD, smack, ice, etc?
I think this is a cunning plan by the great strategist to use the Russian Fleet and the Kerch Bridge to cause the attrition of all the jet skis and fizz boats in Ukraine. It is a variant on the theme of using conscripts to fertilise eastern Ukraine.

Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry already released the video of the USV showing the assault against Russian oil tanker “Sig”.
There is literally nothing what Russia can do in order to prevent those military targets from being hit. There are currently dozens of oil tankers in the Black Sea approaching or leaving Russian harbors and with this video circulating many shipping companies won’t get the insurance in order to operate, effectively diminishing Russian revenues in oil trade.
It would be even easy for Ukraine to extend this effective blockade to all cargo ships which theoretically could contain weapons, making them all military targets.
Yes, you can play this game both ways.

Are Russian warships not equipped with Phalanx-type CIWS systems? I’d have thought this is just the sort of threat they’re intended to counter.
First time I have seen this camo trick. Quite clever actually. Took me awhile to wonder what the img description was about!

The head of the SBU Malyuk:
"Any BAVOVNA that happens to Russian ships or the Crimean bridge is an absolutely logical and effective step towards the enemy. Moreover, such special operations are carried out in the territorial waters of Ukraine and are completely legal".
"So if the Russians want the "bavovna" to stop, they should use the only opportunity for this - to leave the territorial waters of Ukraine and our land. And the sooner they do it, the better for them", - Malyuk

So as they hit the LST on the Stb and the tanker on the port, all they need to do is strap them both together to stop each one capsizing

Golly, appears Lord Farquard has gone so far as to annoy the Daleks. Time Lord, he ain't.
It reminds me of sumptin...
We 3 Daleks of orient are;
One in a Lada two on a Himar;
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain,
Moor and mountain,
Following yonder Tsar;
O Tsar of Wonder, Tsar of Nowt,
Tsar with paranoid schizophrenia blight,
Westward bleeding,
Now retreating,
Guide UK to Thy perfect plight.
Born a Crim and Russia's pain,
Justice Ukraine brings to arraign him again,
King for never,
Ceasing forever
Over window sill to spill.
Storm shadow to offer have I,
Vlad owes a death on high:
Prayer and praising
All men raising,
Worship Him gone on nigh.
Mines are mines; its bitter bavovna
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;—
Sorrowing, sighing,
Bleeding, dying,
Sealed in Vlads stone-cold tomb.
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King, and God, and Sacrifice;
Heav’n sings Good riddance,
Hallelujah the earth replies.
