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.

Ok Ukraine sink one ship, Russia don sink all of Ukraine ship we hear word... Abeg chill

Frankly speaking, I see warships as sitting ducks. They are easy targets. They are very large and very slow compared to tanks or fighter jets for instance.

A rain of laser guided missiles from afar should be able to take one down.

Just my 2 cents. It's not my field.

I think warships should be mainly used for interdiction that is to prevent an area from being used. As Ukraine had no Navy ships the Russian ship had no real purpose other than a show of force which made it even more of a sitting duck.

And they’re perfectly fine with this. Just face saving attacks from Russia, but missile attacks in Kyiv can’t wipe out this disgrace, or plug the gap in their S-300 long range anti-air coverage.
Every military suffered set back, assuming they wiped out the entire Russia fleet it would have been worth celebrating

On rt news... It said the ship was being towed after an internal ammunition accident before it sank.
Don't be gullible?
Don't read news and digest it as it is, create an imagination in your head?
A ship that was struck by missle From a fisherman type boat, and Russia still had to tow it... do you know how comfortable it means to tow a vessel that was hit from a missle on war fronts ?
Wouldn't another missile arise and hit the tow ship?
But no they comfortably towed the ship until it sank prolly the damage was taking in water too much.
You have to be in a very comfortable situation to tow a damage ship during a war!

Hmmm.....I must say that this is a major embarrassment for the Russian Military and the Russian Federation at large if the story of the Black Sea Fleet Flagship sunk. The fleet's FLAGSHIP??! So what happens when the donated Harpoons are fully activated? There are so many questions that need to be answered. What happened to the ship's defence systems or that of other ships within the fleet in combat?

This probably won't affect cruise missile strikes and the Naval blockade of Ukraine's coastline will still hold, but any amphibious operations against Odessa are now out of the question for now, unless Russian Navy takes out those Ukranian Coastal Defence systems of Neptune and Harpoon Anti-ship missiles. And I'm willing to bet that they're on mobile launchers.

When this war ends, the Russians will have to sit down, assess their military capabilities, and invest in upgrades, tactics, and strategy from the very bottom to the very top.

Anyway, the Ukrainians have clearly won this bout. This is a major blackeye for Russia.

You're right, is embarrassing for them and they really need to reaccess their choice of inventory. From day one of the SMO, the Russians brought in and relied majorly on old and outdated Soviet era hardware like T72s and old ships at the forefront. Only on few occassion you see them introducing some of their latest tech for 'hit and leave' target. The logic behind this is that this is a special ops, which to me is bad logic cause they must have envisaged that NATO AWACS and E-3 are aiding UAF with real-time intelligence data. I honestly would have wanted the Ukrainian claim to be true but the facts speaks otherwise. Is one to ten that some two Neptune missiles could easily beat all the defense mechanism of the ship and the surrounding ships while inflight to reach it's target without any interception from any of the other ships or the ship itself, giving the huge array of defense capabilities in those ships? The math doesn't just add up. Either somebody (5th columnists) in the Kremlin wants this war over with quickly by trying to provoke a huge response from Russia as was the case with Belgorod, or there is sheer incompetent among the crew.
Whatever, Ukraine has the right to bask in the moment although it doesn't change anything on the frontlines. But, like you noted, the Russians have to sit their butt down and declare this SMO as an outright war, and let the likes of S-400, T-14s, T-90SMs, Thermobarics flame throwers, Su-75s, T-60 blackjacks long range bombers, Subs and the more modern Frigates and Corvettes do their job more regularly. It's folly trying to play 'moderate' when already tagged a war criminal. Using Ukraine to do away with old hardware and as a kind of testing ground is costing lives and integrity also. The main problem here is that nobody really knows what's Russia's real endgame in Ukraine per present.

It's tactical...you may not fully understand.

And as for Ukraine, they will get support from US and EU for the rebuilding process.
You can take this statement to the Bank!

Don't get your dream high. Nobody will build Ukraine for Ukraine. They are just using Zelensky as a pawn. Once Russia succeeded in splitting the country, which is what this phase two is looking at, the Ukraine you know today won't be the same tomorrow. And the west will continue their business as usual.

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,���

Kherson and Mariupol are now under Russian control.

That ship has the capacity to destroy 75percent of Ukraine in 25minutes. I don't believe a slow missile can breach its automatic spotting radar. Even projectiles in stealth mode don't have a chance at it. How much more smaller vessels whose job is to protect the king Markova along side submarines

People are just being ignorant. Ukraine did nothing here.

No Sir, I think the defenses of the ships was either faulty or poorly manned, I am pro west..
But a ship that size with the defensive capabilities I read shouldn't be troubled by the Ukraine missiles.

On the highlighted paragraph, I think you're wrong. Russia never had any intention of taking over the whole Ukrainian territory from the very start. You only have to look at the number of troops involved (200,000 only) from the onset, and even the type of troops. Ukraine is MASSIVE. In my opinion, decapitating the leadership at Kyiv was indeed an objective, but that changed from week 2/3, hence the change in strategy. If the Russians are able to liberate the remaining Donbass territories from the administrative line of control to Russia's western borders, then they've achieved one of their objectives. If they're able to capture Dnipro, destroy the Ukrainian forces in the Cauldron and hold off any counter attack from western Ukraine, then it's another plus for them as they would've successfully divided Ukraine between East and West. Throw in the Naval blockade, and Ukraine will honestly be screwed economically.

The size of the land the Russians have besieged already in the east of the country is as big as the UK, and they did it with just 150,000 troops and not all of them are involved at the same time in the fight. A good proportion of that rotates from their base in Belarus.

The Kirov class, Soviet designation Project 1144 Orlan (sea eagle), is a class of nuclear-powered guided missile cruisers of the Soviet Navy and Russian Navy, the largest and heaviest surface combatant warships (i.e. not an aircraft carrier or amphibious assault ship) in operation in the world.

You seems to be uninformed. You can't demilitarized Russia, that's what NATO knew very well, now, they are on the verge of controlling see if azov and most of the black see. That's a real threat to NATO which was their main aim of arming ukrain or ukrain joining NATO.

As for the loses it is bound to happen but go and check most weapon Russia has lost were disposable weapon not even near the best of their armament. The MOSKVA that was lost was due for retirement but since new cruiser is under construction/refurbishment it has to continue to serve, for the past 10 years it has not been deployed beyong it's natural zone which tells you the situation of things with her. And the only useful thing on her was her big radars other things are as good as nearly useless. Why didn't ukrain strike those coveat that were hauling missiles at it if it really intended to cause damage??

So you're suggesting that Russia invaded Ukraine with disposable weapons — putting the lives of their soldiers at risk (fatal) just to save the 'mordern' weapons back in Russia?

Wow!

Dude the EU and US are not helping Ukraine. This war will end badly. With Russia, China and India teaming up the odds are not in Ukraine's favour. If Russia, India and China keep all their trade among themselves they have a combined market of at least 2 billion people. So sanctions may not work. The only thing that will work is an all out confrontation of Russia by EU and US and they don't want to do that due to the risk of a nuclear war. Giving Ukrainians Javelins, anti-ship missiles and other equipment will not end this war. It will keep going until someone gives up and I don't see Putin giving up anytime soon. I only pity the Ukrainian people.

Funny when you say China, Russia is not the top ten trading partner of China.
USA-china trade reach a record 1 billion dollars last year.you want the Chinese to sacrifice their economy over a war that they have no hand in it ..
