The 🇷🇺 Russian Ministry of Defense announced that a 🇺🇦 Ukrainian reconnaissance ship, Simferopol, was sunk in the Danube estuary by a Russian unmanned surface vessel (USV).

Ukrainian Navy's reconnaissance ship Simferopol, which was reportedly the largest ship commissioned by the country in over a decade, has been hit and sunk in a naval drone strike, the Russian Defence Ministry announced on Thursday.

According to the ministry’s statement, a high-speed unmanned boat was used to strike the Simferopol, a medium reconnaissance vessel of the Ukrainian Navy. As a result of the attack, the Ukrainian ship went down.

Military analysts noted that this incident marked the first major success in the use of Russian naval kamikaze drones against a large Ukrainian ship since the beginning of the special military operation.

The Simferopol, with a displacement of 1,220 tons, was converted in 2019 from a former trawler. Its reconnaissance suite was built around the Melkhior electronic intelligence station.

Among the likely additional systems on board were wideband direction-finding antennas supplied by Rohde & Schwarz, which Ukraine imported in May 2019. Until now, the ship had been officially listed as still undergoing factory trials.

Interesting times, WWIII will be fought with drones. Most of the attacks between Russia and Ukraine now are drones.

Targeting civilian infrastructure and properties is a war crime according to international law. Sadly, the country that is meant to be the beacon of morality, law, and order (the World's Police), is busy carrying out one of the most coordinated violation of international law in Palestine.

This is saddening!

May the souls of the departed RIP.

Negotiate with Russia you say NEVER, with the excuse that NATO and EU is behind you.
The men you drafted in the war front are dying you say it’s necessary sacrifice, yet you don’t draft your family members into it.
The person committing war crimes is you because you don’t care about the lives of your country men who are less equipped than your opponent even though you have to rely on Neighbors for help. This war is avoidable if both rivals reason maturely

Beacon of what law and order?

Is there law and order in the US itself?

You can literally see a massive Anti aircraft gun mounted at the deck. Some of you argue blindly with no recourse.

How far with Trump who said he will resolve the war in twenty four hours.

Scammer.

Zalenskey is still jumping up and down negotiating terms of negotiations when you are being destroyed. That president was sent by Satan to destroy that country. You said you won't give Russia or allow Russia to have where they have taken. You even hope that Crimea is given back.
You cannot take back what has been taken from you with war and yet you are setting conditions for negotiation.
As Hamas is to Gaza so is Zalenskey to Ukraine.
A wise man knows when he has loss a war but that delusion man is truly an evil man. Killing is country men due to pride and arrogance.
