That US ship you refer to is a WW2 relic in a display type museum currently seeking funding for care.

You probably didn't even read the story.

I read it. And that is why I used it as an example because it is old. Old things generate problem.s.on their own.

onegig:


Anyone who has followed this would know Russia was just giant on paper with nukes and extreme corruption. They just think throwing bodies and mass of equipment is what wins war in the 21st century.

Look at the best car they have been able to produce? The Lada, absolute contraption like something from 1930.

Hopefully this tells war should show Nigerian Politicians to stop Investing billions into reviving Ajaokuta, that thing was a junk built by Russians. 2 Trillion naira would not bring that ish back. Rather cut our losses and scrap the metal and move on.


Hopefully all these fan boys of Russia mouthing off here would go get some work and reposition their lives. Wish Nairaland would just ban those trolls.

It's corruption that killed Ajaokuta steel, not Russia. Give that steel to Dangote and wash it co.es back to life. Anything your government touches dies in corruption. Blame your government, not Russia.

100% Ngierian government is corrupt but we cant rule out questioning the intergrity of such equipment built in 1979 that has not worked for a single day.

Even if Dangote was given such for free. I am 100% sure he is stripping it and building from scratch. Why would you want to upgrade the engine of a 40 year old contraption? When you have newer and efficient technologies in steel mining and rolling now?

And Russia claims the entire crew was evacuated.. lol Russia and Lies.. 5&6 lol

Maynman:


How can a small missile hit a ship, I believe that kind of ship will have something that will shoot it off.

Bro please read up everything and even the pictorial illustration or better still give a better explanation!!

The US ship wasn't war-deployed though, the Russia ship was. That's a big difference.

Are you intentionally being deluded?
You claim US topple Iraq in 10 days, was it done by US or allied forces?, Can you tell me one war US has won alone?? Even it's not 10 days it was about three weeks where did you get your source??

You also claim ukrain is week? You really mean a country producing almost half it's weapon is week compare to a country buying all it's weapon? You must have been misled out of this world.
Are you comparing ukrain that's being armed every minutes to Iraq which doesn't have any alternative??

I think you don't have a shame at all by regurgitation what's MSM is telling you, yes, Russia has not taking a city at all but what's the use of a city without friendly citizen? They can't bear to bombard ukrain like US does in all it's warscos they are faternal brothers. You can check how many people were killed in the first week of US campaign in Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Libya and compare to casualties of civilians in Ukraine at present. So much for world power,���

America toppled the Saddam regime is not i' doubt. I never said 10 days.

Also, America could have gone in alone. The use of allied forces was to make it look like a multi-lateral effort but it was largely a US inspired war. The war was wrong in the first place.

The Iraqi army would have still be stronger than that of Ukraine.

Russia has not lived up to their might military machine. It is simply old glory. It is Putin to blame and not Russia.

texazzpete:


Bad weather + night + sea skimming cruise missile = potent combo.

But keep telling yourself the Russians are so incompetent that they allowed fire to break out and go out of control…on one of their major military assets

Why not both? Russia Las Las is just an European version of Nigeria.a big brother whose glory has been lost to corruption. Same way some motorcycle riding riffraffs are now embarrassing an army that shut down civil war in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

smallrincowis16:

It seems you are being naiv or so full of propaganda.

Cruisers are not aircraft carriers that need escorts, maybe you can cute an example of any destroyer/ cruiser of any country's navy with such.... I will be waiting.

To enlighten you, anti ship missiles can never be shot/ destroyed by airplane or drone. The only and most useful defensive aid to them are warship with CRAMS/Guns with better radars cos they are the most deadly to ship cos of the stealth, sea skimming and manuoverability.

If truely it was sunk by Ukrainian, I give kudos to them, though it doesn't belittle the Russians as they must have thought ukrain navy post zero threat to them as they are non existing as of presence, that was why they move that close to the shore

I guess you're talking about Nigeria's Navy, not one of the most advanced Navy in the world, Russia

For your info it's one of the major no fly zone enforcers for Russia over parts of Ukraine. Russia has the second most powerful Navy Iin the world after the US, for your information. That's why everyone is suprised

How can you enforce a no fly zone and don't have a weapons system to protect yourself? It's not naija's military we're talking about oga. If you check my post I said under water, surface and all the way to space protection system. They use a combination of submarines, land and water radar systems and satellite monitoring to detect and deter incoming missiles.

Poor poutin .

Oponu ode. Small Ukraine is slapping you left and right. ..

sosanova:

Russia has lost their biggest Warship on the Black Sea to a country (Ukraine) that doesn't have a Navy.
The Russian warship has sunk to the bottom of the sea and automatically became a submarine
Zelensky the comedian is really giving Putin nightmares
The missile used were Ukrainian made Neptune anti ship missiles, the US, UK and NATO made anti cruise missiles are even still yet to be handed over to Ukraine, Russia is in for a long costly and bleeding war.

while their country is been destroyed? They should continue escalating the war instead of finding a diplomatic solution

Bigchristo:
Lets just agree with you Russia is North Korea wit land mass but your super power couldn’t stand them that’s what baffles me

the same reason why the west can't just invade north Korea. nuclear war.

grandstar:


The Russian economy is crumbling fast and i forsee a massive migration of its citizens abroad escaping poverty.

As for its war in Ukraine, it has achieved very little so far.

I have always urged that Zelensky end the war by accepting a lot of Putins terms.

Unfortunately, as this "Special Military Operation" lingers far longer than expected, it has exposed several failings of the Russian army and weaknesses.

They USA toppled the Iraq government within 30 days. The Iraqi army was a million strong with many highups being veterans of the Iraq-Iran war. The Iraqi army was many times more powerful than the Ukrainian army Russia is facing today.

Yet, Russia has barely captured 10% of Ukrainian territory. I doubt it's up to 5% and the Ukrainians are even recapturing towns from the Russians.

Zelensky is now talking about defeating Russia. He should have prevented this war altogether by dropping his NATO dreams. He is not politically savvy but his new goal shows the frailty of the Russian army and belief they can now be defeated. .

Russia is bound to change tactics and i foresee a replay of what happened in Chechnya and Syria. There, Russia used extremely bombardment to shatter the will of the people and crush its target. Basically, killing a fly with a sledgehammer. That isn't war but genocide

This seems to be what it used in Mariupol as all buildings seem to have been hit by bombs, the entire city resembling a desolate wasteland. .

if Ukraine should leave mauripol and also make sure nobody steps their feet into mauripol by also bombing any bicycle that crosses into mauripol.
it will make other towns unattractive to capture by the Russian

Democrats soldiers are in Ukraine getting their ass whooped by Putin, they are now desperate and want to bring the war to the streets of America.

layycon:


You seem to be well informed. I applaud your intelligence. However, I can see that Zelensky has gone too far than to beg for mercy or drop his NATO dreams. He will now do all he can to win the war which I am certain he won't. By the time the war ends, his country will be worse than Somalia. Economy going down below zero, 3/4 of the population living in foreign land, buildings and structures and cities totally destroyed...And building the country back to its pristine state will then become near impossible. The footprint will be there for decades. They might never recover. The poorest country in Europe looming. See what foolishness has caused him. Just drop the idea of NATO and dinning with the West and you will be fine.

As for Russia, once the war ends, they have their population intact. The people can't even run away because no one will welcome them 'cos they are the villain...With the population and cities intact, they will rebuild their economy. It might take time but they will.

Its a lose lose for both countries but the biggest loser is Ukraine.

Moral of the story: Never make a jester president.

Then you can never be president

Forget about western propaganda. Experts have agreed that what happened was an accident.

Sltp:

which experts? Russian experts that will agree with anything Putin says because he literally holds has guns to their heads?

Two other Russian ships had to move further away from land that's a clear indication they were trying to avoid attack. This coming immediately after the Ukrainian claims confirm the Moskva was attacked.

Appleyard:
Ukraine did not sink the ship. Even the US said they cannot verify the Ukrainian claim. That ship probably ran into a floating mine or had some internal incidents that led to the explosion. Ukraine lied it sunk it from the word go, but how do you tow a ship that is already sunk?

Whatever, the ship was lost on its way being towed to port. So a loss is a loss. At least, it proves the Russians are more honest with their losses compared to Ukraine who claimed to have only lost 1000+ soldiers since the war began. And I guess they have not lost any plane, ship or machine.

Believing in Russian army's honesty is like saying Bucha's masaccare was staged.

yrex01:
Na why I like russia bout this war, they always come out plain even gave estimates of soldiers lost in war but till tomorrow wester makes it look like nothing spoil for ukrain just to make country like Finland n co end like ukrain.
Evil west

Islamic fundamentalist is in 'sifia' pains over NATO and US

Independent Western military experts. It's common practice to re-strategize in a war after sustaining a major damage. This is the evidence the Western media wants to use to claim the attack? What a joke.

Don't worry, Putin go pay to rebuild Ukraine that he destroyed with his $350 Billion sized by the West.

layycon:


Hitler's case is different from this.

And Putin is not Ukraine's enemy. They are brothers. Ukraine who is the other brother is dinning with his brother's enemies. Tell me, what would you do if your brother start becoming friends with your enemy, knowing that they will use him to enter you and destroy you? Would you fold your hands and watch?

What Putin is doing is calling his kid bro into order. He dey use koboko to flog him brother so that him brain go reset.

Last time I checked, mines don't grow on seas. People plant them there.

boyfrank:


Russia is Nigeria with snow and nukes

And land mass

efficiencie:
It's funny how this war is being promoted on both sides. Will sinking a Russian warship end the war? People have been displaced, civilians have been turned to soldiers, the carnage is real yet many are cheerleading from the comfort of their homes. By the time this war is over Ukraine would have been reduced to rubble or we would be hiding in underground shelters from nuclear fallout.

Only God knows what you would have done and said if you were alive during WW 2

smallrincowis16:


It only amazes you cos of your nativity. It's only pride of the black see fleet cos of it's tonnage. The ship itself is waiting replacement/refurbish begire being sunk. The only thing useful on the ship was the radars

I see a lot of new English expressions and words in your comment. Such increbidu use of words

For the first time since the history of mankind that a sunk sheep is towed. Can a ship in the bottom of an ocean be towed? If a ship is sunk, it has gone beneath the water and from there down to the bottom of the ocean. Please be reasonable for once in your life.
