Possibly the first footage of the strike against the Russian patrol ship “Sergey Kotov” (project 22160) last night.
The Kerch Bridge has been closed for 9h already. According to Telegram channel “Crimean Wind” it needs to be “investigated”.
The Ukrainian GUR has just released the footage of the attack against the Sergey Kotov. That ship got totally hammered by several USVs. Highly unlikely that she survived that attack.

"Because we are at war, and because we can" make sense, but I get the extra feeling that Ukraine is now getting their own back for the high-handed way their little Navy was treated by a superior Russian Navy force in that famous incident when trying to enter the Sea of Azov some years back.

Why drones now dominate the battlefield. Makes Terminator’s battlefield scenes look dates…

Could the drone pay-load destroy is so effectively, or did it actually fly into the BTR and trigger on-board ammunition ?

Why not 212? This is why we come to this site, we are not all experts at warfare. I would like to know if the last one or two of the underwater drones would have been turned around for re use? The last explosion certainly appeared to do for the ship.

It depends on its range, how long it has loitered in an area awaiting the target etc, and I would imagine they keep its actual range quite for obvious reasons, no point in telling them where they can operate with impunity.

The latest ship sunk was only built in 2021 and entered service in 2022 after the war had started! It was their most modern vessel.
It looks like they also took out a helicopter during the attack.

Regarding reports of the vehicles being trashed on the Ukrainian / Polish boarder by "Poles" and not being stopped by the Police.
This vehicle has a UK number plate and is taxed and insured here.
Perhaps to get a grip on this situation, the Polish Ambassador to the UK should be called in for an interview without coffee to show His Majesties displeasure.

Close. The Feds are tough; an inmate has to serve 85% of Federal time before parole will be considered, so about 9 years 4 months in the slammer for an 11 year sentence.

Notice on the Map behind the alcoholic fool that Transnistra is shown as part of Modova, not the other way round.
