Its a 450 tonne warship, scrap value is a bit over steel maybe 500k, but I kind of agree that 8 new thermal USVs - yeah. Not often such is the case. I bet the main armament was effectively useless.

>The Russian corvette got hit by at least two possibly three Ukrainian USVs. You clearly see a gaping hole midship from the previous USV when another USV rams the Ivanovets.
If your hemorrhoids look like a Russian corvette, I strongly recommend you see a doctor immediately. Russian Ass Syndrome is a deadly disease if left untreated.
The pic is like a rorschach test: I see slenderman in the middle, and a huge nose of some creature beside him on his right. There is also a disembodied butt pooping on the left while a lot of spaghetti can be seen dancing on the background.
This ammo rack explosion is straight out of WWI/WWII, holy shit. It's poetic in a sense that the thermal footage was recorded in black and white like most videos of these explosions back then.

For the first time in the history of world wars, a group strike by naval drones guided by a space satellite destroyed a warship that was underway on the high seas in full combat readiness. On February 1, 2024, maritime drones of the Group 13 unit of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine destroyed a Russian Project 12411 missile boat in the Black Sea near a protected naval base on Lake Donuzlav in the temporarily occupied Crimea. The Project 12411 missile boat, with a displacement of up to 500 tons and a crew of 40, is armed with supersonic Moskit P-270 anti-ship missiles. Judging by the video, a group of at least five maritime drones from the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine entered the Russian Black Sea Fleet's Donuzlav base undetected, and the drones attacked the missile boat, which was apparently conducting combat patrols and defending the base, one after another. It is worth noting that Russian intelligence did not notice the approach of the drones.
The crew of the missile boat, according to the GUR, it was the Ivanovets, judging by the video, noticed the approach of the drones visually, and the boat was underway at the time of the attack and could maneuver. A missile boat can reach speeds of over 30 knots and simply escape from the drones. But Ivanivets did not have time to gain speed.
The 76 mm AK-176 bow anti-aircraft artillery system, as can be clearly seen, was in a stowed position, i.e., it was not activated and did not open fire. It is also not evident that the Russians had time to bring two 30 mm AK-630 anti-aircraft artillery systems, which are capable of firing densely at moving targets at short distances, into action. But apparently, the drones were hit by machine gun fire from close range by the watch on duty. However, due to the small size, speed, and maneuverability of the drones, the Russians failed to hit them.
specifically the last few lines.
they were being very submissive and breedable
>the drones attacked the missile boat, which was apparently conducting combat patrols and defending the base >defending the base >with its weapons stowed
ivan what the frick are you doing
Not necessarily. Being able to drive a second explosive into a breach means you can directly attack the ship's critical internals, especially in a relatively small boat like a missile corvette.
Drones are slow, if ship crew was not russian it would simply frick off in time full speed.
What Ukrainians did to prevent that from happening is that first 2 drones tried to hit propeller and engine room.
Then you can see one going inside the ship through its gaping anus and exploding 4tonne anti-ship missiles in the pods.
Depends on what kind of weapons you're using, what the target is, at what range, and where the holes are.
In this case they're using drones they can literally manually steer and the hole was large enough to enter + near a magazine, no brainer.
In something like a long range cannon duel where you can't reliably target weak spots then yes, generally you want to hammer holes in around or below the waterline to flood the fricker.
Because it's a missile launch platform and the idea it would actually BE decommissioned in a war where Russia isn't able to build replacements is absurd. Russia is far too poor for that.
they only admit it when one is sunk, though. I dont actually know how good or bad their sailors are, tb quite h. I would guess they have a decent amount of training and man their stations adequately.
This. Also now Russia can build new ship that not only is better than that rust bucket, it stimulates Russian economy. And the loss was most likely with all hands so Russia doesn't even need to pay for the sailors' pensions. There's literally no way to analyze this situation as anything other than a victory for Russia.
The official SMO rationales were always a sick joke in the name of Russian revanchism . The black sea is a pond and any surface vessel is supremely vulnerable. The turks own the dards and the bos and therefore passage; they can dunk all over the Russia Black Sea fleet with their missiles and roachdrones. And in the name of "protecting the Russian people and language" the entire LPR/DPR entire fighting age cohort was drafted/maimed/killed.

Would this fit on a train? Because it might be a legitimate way to screen those corvettes which screen the destroyers which are supposed to be screening against small surface vessels.
You would assume that it's sarcasm, but we've crossed the satire event horizon. Even the most extreme parody is indistinguishable from some vatnik's sincerely held beliefs. You can go to chug and see people making that exact argument right now without a hint of irony.
it's actually a tragedy, it means the internet is becoming too moronic to interpret high brow forms of humor, all we have left are fart jokes and name calling
Poe's law has been formalized since 2005, with predecessors being known since the 1980s. Conveying sarcasm in plain, unformatted text is a known weakness of the English language.
Yes, Russia just can't stop winning. Every obsolete Russian ship or armor that gets destroyed, better ones will be built to replace them stimulating Russian economy. Every mobik that gets killed, is one less potential unemployed person dragging Russian economy down. Russia is at full employment at the moment, something that hasn't ever happened in the west. Everyone has a job and Russian military gets stronger. Meanwhile west is getting closer and closer to collapsing, they can't supply Ukraine faster than brave Russian patriots are taking out that materiel with their bodies. Russia is bleeding west dry one bullet at a time and in the end when Ukraine runs out of bullets, they'll be facing a rejuvenated Russia.
The corvette was actually carrying UAF prisoners that it was going to exchange for prisoners on the suicide drones. Only perfidious holol banderites swapped out the mobnik warheads on the drones for explosive ones (never trust piggers) and then...

>lol, you think russia needs eggs and other essential foods? Everyone knows they are too high in cholesterol anyway. You Hohols will suffer from heart disease while russia prospers!
You may laugh but there is legit a conspiracy theory meant for domestic use in russia (that went the opposite way of the antivaxx theories and escaped into other countries) that targets potatos
Basically potatoes were introduced in Europe to turn people into obedient slaves because they erase long term memory due to phytic acid (also making them forget some cataclysmic events/nuclear wars two hundreds years ago).
Also tomatoes, bell pepper, aubergine are literally poison and we should return to turnip.
Seems absurd till you notice that russia imports shitloads of potatoes along with the other ones and had problems covering demand so i wouldn't be surprised if we're gonna see similar theories appear targeting poultry and eggs in particular

This "potato is mindcontrol/peter the great was replaced with an imposter by europeans"-conspiracy is quite niche, to be honest. Most russian conspiratards are consuming international hits like flat earth, chemtrails and ancient aliens in egypt.
But there are some other "domestic market" bangers like "russia is british crypto-colony since at least start of XX century to this day, also israelites are not real and were invented/created by european nobility to be a scapegoat for theirs nefarious schemes"; or whole "alternative chronology" thing with "mud flood", nuclear war 200 years ago, st.petersburg is a relic of previous civilization and alexander/napoleon/hitler being literally the same person as a cherry on top.
There are more, but only things i can remember off the top of my head are tiny "alexander pushkin faked his death, escaped to france and lived the rest of his life as alexandre dumas" and "kusrk was destroyed by an american or british submarine".

Russian poverty thing. Since the end of last year Russia has been struggling with rising egg prices. This might sound funny but eggs are the most important source of protein for most of the population. With egg prices going up more and more Russians won’t be able to get the proteins they need.

Probably its some sort of ironic irl memeing. Government officials of importance, even in relatively poor/remote areas are rolling in cash, because obvious reasons, and its not their salary. Sometimes when someone gets into disfavor with a regime, even minor character of "police chief of bumfrick nowhere, population 50 thousand"-kind, and then the news parade footage of his castle/mansion, garage full of luxury cars and closets full of dollars as "look how we combat corruption, turns out he was very corrupt and we solved the issue".
So no, its not literal poverty. Its either dunking on the poors or just jokingly acknowledging higher prices.
Its supposed to be blini(thin pancakes).
There is a "maslenitsa" holiday at the end of winter, a lot to explain, but important parts are 1) you are supposed to make and eat a lot of blini 2)there are fun public events usually.
So, once in 2015 stavropol, they decided to make an event of cooking the largest blin ever. They did, but then how do you serve a lot of free food to a crowd of people? Put them behind the fence and shovel it to them!
Internet found it funny and somewhat symbolic, so "blini from a shovel" became a meme.
I accidentally bought all purpose instead of bread flour, so I'm making a lot of banana bread this month.
Actually same, I have chickens, and I give my parents and in-laws eggs all the time, I otherwise have hundreds.
Please tell me you got some good egg-using recipes
Thanks for backing me up man. It's not like I showed up randomly, with a bunch of eggs. People knew I had ducks and started asking if I had any eggs around Christmas, so I wrapped them as a semi-joke.
Odd choice of cope. Moskals use 95% of their munitions to destroy fields and unimportant civilian targets. I guess projection truly is the only play left in the commie book
It carries only anti-ship missiles. Nominally, anyway. You can ask yourself what the frick it was doing in Ukraine if its only role is counter-naval, but Russkies work in mysterious ways
>What happened?
Ukraine was starting to run low on munitions for their Soviet Era SAMs winter of last year. Which was exacerbated by Russia introducing cheap ass Shahed spam at that time as well. This year Ukraine has a lot more Western SAMs (both Western Launchers and Soviet launchers converted to fire NATO missiles). Along with having a lot more detachments of guys in pick up trucks with HMG's/MANPADS for the purpose of dealing with the Shahed spam more cost effectively.
The grid itself has also been built to be more robust. With more redundant sub-stations, and more connections back to the EU power grid.
Significant when you are under threat of a naval invasion and thus have to tie up strategic resources to plan for contingencies. Every Russian ship in the black sea that sinks is a ship that cannot support a naval amphibious landing on the coast of Ukraine. The less viable a naval invasion is the more Ukraine can strategically focus its resources on the land war and pushing Russia off its soil.
Considering sea access is a major contribution to Ukraine's economy and allows them to export their grain, degrading Russia's ability to interdict or blockade civilian shipping is hugely important to them. Even the fricking Houthis have a better success rate at hitting freighters than the Russians do.
For the first time in the history of world wars, a group strike by naval drones guided by a space satellite destroyed a warship that was underway on the high seas in full combat readiness. On February 1, 2024, maritime drones of the Group 13 unit of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine destroyed a Russian Project 12411 missile boat in the Black Sea near a protected naval base on Lake Donuzlav in the temporarily occupied Crimea. The Project 12411 missile boat, with a displacement of up to 500 tons and a crew of 40, is armed with supersonic Moskit P-270 anti-ship missiles. Judging by the video, a group of at least five maritime drones from the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine entered the Russian Black Sea Fleet's Donuzlav base undetected, and the drones attacked the missile boat, which was apparently conducting combat patrols and defending the base, one after another. It is worth noting that Russian intelligence did not notice the approach of the drones.

A missile boat can reach speeds of over 30 knots and simply escape from the drones. But Ivanivets did not have time to gain speed.

It is also not evident that the Russians had time to bring two 30 mm AK-630 anti-aircraft artillery systems, which are capable of firing densely at moving targets at short distances, into action. But apparently, the drones were hit by machine gun fire from close range by the watch on duty. However, due to the small size, speed, and maneuverability of the drones, the Russians failed to hit them.
The Group 13 commanders' well-chosen attack tactics are admirable - the first drone hit the stern of the boat from the starboard side to disable the propellers. The boat was unable to reach full speed, but did not stop. Then the second drone also hit the propellers, but on the port side. With these two strikes, the boat was reliably deprived of movement and maneuver.
After that, the ship was competently finished off. The third drone struck the middle of the hull under the Mosquito missile launchers, causing a large hole in the port side. The video from this drone is not shown.
However, the results of the hit are visible on the camera of the fourth drone, which the operator pointed directly into the crater from the third drone in the same place.
The explosion from the fourth drone was fatal for the ship. The impact detonated four Moskit missiles with a total weight of 4 tons each. The Ivanivets missile boat literally blew to pieces, leaving the crew with little chance of survival.
The brilliant success of the Ukrainian soldiers, the command and operators of the DIU Group 13 showed a high level of intelligence, planning, preparation and management of the operation. The attack tactics deserve to be studied as a model.
It is worth noting that the purpose of the attack was not to damage, but to completely destroy the ship, so a whole group of drones was dispatched to reliably perform the task, which allowed us to inflict maximum losses on the enemy.

oh to be a fly on the wall during an intelligence gathering and sharing between Ukrainian and Western sources. To me this is a pretty impressive attack, I have to wonder if Western intelligence agencies think the same?

To be frank, it's not easy to train naval guns onto something, especially point blank range.
Here we have the whole bouquet of cope >It was too expensive to destroy*~~)) >we can repair it easily >It was old and obsolete, we didn't really need it >we can just build more >BUT WHATABOUT UKRAINE!!!!???!!?

Destroy all our ships and kill all our sailors, WE DON'T CARE!

There is no dumber entity in existence than a pro-Russian
OK so I am interested in how they made these drones, chop up a jetski, use it's hull and engine, stuff it with explosives and then control it remotely?
I saw a mention of a satellite signal, were they using Starlink to control it? That would give the drones some impressive range, any pics of what they looked like?
>Woke up feeling pretty shitty >Kind of depressed cuz of stuff happening in life >Go online and see news of another zigger ship sunk >Just like that, feeling great again
Honestly were the Black Sea Fleet not already as operationally limited as it is the loss wouldn't be as big of a deal but given their larger ships like the Grigorovich's and Krivaks can't risk deployment lest they be hit and sunk like this guy it's a pretty big blow. In any case, less missile tubes for NATO to contend with in the Black Sea / Med is always a good thing, not that the pieces of shit they call the Black Sea Fleet could've broken out into the med under such a hypothetical in the first place.
Italy is unironically more competent than Russia, WW2 included. Had the USSR not received a steady IV drip of supplies from us angloids they would've suffered the same fate.
At this point it wouldn't surprise me if some enterprising /k/ommando bought the anti-submarine boom from eBay for 20000 rubles (3 dollars and change).
>All enemy surface drones that attacked the ship were destroyed by the sides of the ship.
Yeah, uh, this particular russkie seems to be extremely sarcastic.
I genuinely wonder if in some top secret NATO meetings they have wrapped up a "wishlist" of Russian ships they would rather not have to keep tabs on anymore. Primary Ukrainian benefit seems to be sea denial (achieved a long time ago), and diversion of AD assets because russkies can't have their expensive even if tactically useless ships get sunk.
That said, attacks on ships are some of my favorite footage from the war, massive targets and typically high res footage instead of yet another vaporised soviet shitbox
Nah, I think it's a case of "have autonomous naval drone, will blow up warship." A ship is a relatively easy target, and the ukes have newly made tech that seems to work great.
Yes, the list is the entire Black Sea Fleet, anon any ship that can carry AShMs is something NATO wants gone. Now the top of the list right now is likely the Kilos followed by the Grigorovichs and the Krivaks, but those are all hard targets to hit.
Does Crimea have any shipyard Russia can use to rebuild their scrappy boats?
Does the entire Black Sea coastline have one or two? I'm ignoring money here.
Anon, two drydocks in Crimea had their contents slagged by storm shadow, the Russians are not moronic enough to put more vessels in an easy to hit spot
If Russia runs out of warships in the Black Sea, they can't threaten merchies hauling grain from Odessa, which means more owners will be willing to make the run.
>Are surface warships obsolete in an age of drone swarms?
Not as long as your warships close in weapons don't suck ass, and your crew aren't illiterate alcoholic conscripts. Warships have plenty of firepower to take out drones like this. Letting them literally ram you is some combination of failure of sensors/fire control and crew readiness.
The cope on /misc/ has reached hitherto unheard of levels. They've moved passed "oh yeah well we didn't need it ok??" to "well, at least Russia still has a navy, unlike Ukraine!!" not realizing the implications of that statement.
The bandits are even fricking claiming this had Hypersonic missiles! Such bullshit! It's barely above a patrol boat! Many such fricking ships in Russian Navy!
How the frick is a country so inept at having a navy? I don't even care who wins but I'm mad because this is such a shit show. Don't Russians have CIWS or whatever else? I refuse to believe that a 40m-60m dollar ship operating in a war theater in 2024 has literally no way to defend itself rather than small arms fired by the sailors.
Russia's never been any good at having a navy, but this is pretty pathetic. I dont think this ship had any real chance to stop these drones, its ancient, non modernized. The crew with machine guns was probably the only thing they had to defend with.
>Don't Russians have CIWS or whatever else?
They do. I just don't think Russian CWIS have thermal optics. It's all either automatic control by the radar system, or manual either through the weapon stations daylight camera or whatever this setup is. Since this attack was at night the AK630's were probably mostly blind.
Makarov was in Murmansk (it was reportedly hit and undergoing drydock).
Essen is just sitting around Novorossiysk and seems to be on extended maintenance
Grigorovich is fricking around Tartus and has not entered the Black Sea at all.
Looks like Russia has accepted they're vulnerable and don't want to lose them.
Lol, how many POW died this time? Also why vatnik ships keep sinking if Ukraine doesn't even have a navy fleet? It is something that make them sink or they forgot to close a window? What naval defense do?
It continues to amaze me that a country with no navy is so completely stomping on a country with a navy.
Ukraine is rewriting books on war right now. Any country not seriously worried about naval drones is now very worried.
Again, all the losses happening to the Russians aren't even funny anymore. Everyday its another smoking accident. It's exhausting.
If it keeps going like this, by next February there won't be a fricking Russian armed forces with strategic naval and air assets. They'll have a massive army of mobilized reservists with 1960s surplus, nuke and thats it.

I'm a clueless moron when it comes to naval warfare but are you supposed to try and hit the same damaged spot multiple times?
My impression was that you wanted to make as many individual holes in the hull as possible to increase flooding and make damage control ineffective.

See how it compares.
deeper damage = more important things will be hit
The internals typically aren't armored, while the hull is.
Not necessarily. Being able to drive a second explosive into a breach means you can directly attack the ship's critical internals, especially in a relatively small boat like a missile corvette.
First hit cracks the shell, second hit gets the gooey innards. Or in this case, fuel and ammo.
Just like a gang bang
I think that's usually the case but if you can literally drive the explosives into the middle of the ship, you should take the opportunity.
Drones are slow, if ship crew was not russian it would simply frick off in time full speed.
What Ukrainians did to prevent that from happening is that first 2 drones tried to hit propeller and engine room.
Then you can see one going inside the ship through its gaping anus and exploding 4tonne anti-ship missiles in the pods.
First two drones destroyed propellers.
Other drones targeted ammo storage, which detonated and blew up the ship
Depends on what kind of weapons you're using, what the target is, at what range, and where the holes are.
In this case they're using drones they can literally manually steer and the hole was large enough to enter + near a magazine, no brainer.
In something like a long range cannon duel where you can't reliably target weak spots then yes, generally you want to hammer holes in around or below the waterline to flood the fricker.
>w-we didn't want it anyway!
Every time lmao
Because it's a missile launch platform and the idea it would actually BE decommissioned in a war where Russia isn't able to build replacements is absurd. Russia is far too poor for that.
why is this the exact same story for every ship russia loses?
Are firing exercies obsolete?
Based Simon Ostrovsky, he produced "Russian Roulette" documentary series or Vice about the war in Ukraine, mega kino, must watch...
>Russia can just build more!
Except they literally can’t, especially in the Black Sea. All their major shipyards were in Ukraine.
Yeah we didn't need that ship anyways, stupid HATO piggies wasting their irreplaceable drones*~~
>our ships are trash
>our sailors are worthless
>your bombs had more value than whatever or whoever you killed
why are they like this
>our ships are trash
>our sailors are worthless
>your bombs had more value than whatever or whoever you killed
But that's not actually wrong though, is it?
they only admit it when one is sunk, though. I dont actually know how good or bad their sailors are, tb quite h. I would guess they have a decent amount of training and man their stations adequately.
Is this what chug is going with? Honestly almost impossible to tell vatnik copes from satire.
When are the Houthis gonna try it against Prosperity Guardian?
>The warship was decommission under its own power and it is now ready to join the submarines fleet.
This. Also now Russia can build new ship that not only is better than that rust bucket, it stimulates Russian economy. And the loss was most likely with all hands so Russia doesn't even need to pay for the sailors' pensions. There's literally no way to analyze this situation as anything other than a victory for Russia.
Indeed. It’s just like Fidel Castro‘s son said: "If you kill your enemy, they win."
Russia can’t stop winning and nafo trannies can only seeth.*~~*~~
>4 got lost
If that's from russia thats absolute cope.
Also these things are bombs strapped to jet skis, if the corvette was that worthless lmao
The official SMO rationales were always a sick joke in the name of Russian revanchism . The black sea is a pond and any surface vessel is supremely vulnerable. The turks own the dards and the bos and therefore passage; they can dunk all over the Russia Black Sea fleet with their missiles and roachdrones. And in the name of "protecting the Russian people and language" the entire LPR/DPR entire fighting age cohort was drafted/maimed/killed.
What a hackfraud corpse society.
The US navy seems to be doing fine in the Red Sea
>8 drones are a greater loss than a warship that Russia cannot hope to replace
>2024: The last hope for the survival of the Russian surface against RC jet skis is a urgent shipment of Nork Dakka class coastal defense boats, codenamed operation: Brapper
It even comes with a cage! Oh boy!
Would this fit on a train? Because it might be a legitimate way to screen those corvettes which screen the destroyers which are supposed to be screening against small surface vessels.
Shouldn’t be much of an issue nowadays
Oh hey, I've visited that museum.
I recommend it, they've got a buttload of gorgeous cars, train engines and planes (they've got a Concorde) as well.
Thanks, some fine day I shall take my time to visit
You can go inside the submarine and look around as well.
It's actually two museums, in Sindsheim and in Speyer.
Been there too, they've also got a Buran (USSR Shuttle clone)
>another ship lost
Anyone who doesn't get that this is obvious sarcasm is moronic
There is no difference between genuine vatnik moronation and trolling.
You would assume that it's sarcasm, but we've crossed the satire event horizon. Even the most extreme parody is indistinguishable from some vatnik's sincerely held beliefs. You can go to chug and see people making that exact argument right now without a hint of irony.
>we've crossed the satire event horizon
Kek
it's actually a tragedy, it means the internet is becoming too moronic to interpret high brow forms of humor, all we have left are fart jokes and name calling

>Russians lose a thing
>"We didn't even need it stupid hohols"
Why is it always the same shit with vatBlack folk?
>unironically using the "we didnt want it anyway" argument
Yes, Russia just can't stop winning. Every obsolete Russian ship or armor that gets destroyed, better ones will be built to replace them stimulating Russian economy. Every mobik that gets killed, is one less potential unemployed person dragging Russian economy down. Russia is at full employment at the moment, something that hasn't ever happened in the west. Everyone has a job and Russian military gets stronger. Meanwhile west is getting closer and closer to collapsing, they can't supply Ukraine faster than brave Russian patriots are taking out that materiel with their bodies. Russia is bleeding west dry one bullet at a time and in the end when Ukraine runs out of bullets, they'll be facing a rejuvenated Russia.
That was a civilian ship, Warcrimes

Looks like a 100 mm crane to me.
The corvette was actually carrying UAF prisoners that it was going to exchange for prisoners on the suicide drones. Only perfidious holol banderites swapped out the mobnik warheads on the drones for explosive ones (never trust piggers) and then...
i must note however, civilian ships absolutely should have 76mm autocannons

I mean, is this a Russian poverty thing, or does he have chickens? I have ducks and last Christmas I gave most people at work a dozen eggs. People seemed to like it. Idk man I just feel targeted by that pic.
It's not weird to give eggs, right?
Depends...
I was just about to post it. The hivemind still lives.
Actually same, I have chickens, and I give my parents and in-laws eggs all the time, I otherwise have hundreds.
Please tell me you got some good egg-using recipes
Are you guys washing your eggs before giving them to someone?
Sometimes, depending on how dirty they are
No, they last like 4 months without washing or like 4 weeks if you wash them. Gently wipe off any actual debris, but otherwise don’t wash them.
I mean, if you're gifting eggs to your staff instead of their 13th month you might be in slight trouble.
russian economy starting to fall apart.
lol, you think russia needs eggs and other essential foods? Everyone knows they are too high in cholesterol anyway. You Hohols will suffer from heart disease while russia prospers!
>lol, you think russia needs eggs and other essential foods? Everyone knows they are too high in cholesterol anyway. You Hohols will suffer from heart disease while russia prospers!
You may laugh but there is legit a conspiracy theory meant for domestic use in russia (that went the opposite way of the antivaxx theories and escaped into other countries) that targets potatos
Basically potatoes were introduced in Europe to turn people into obedient slaves because they erase long term memory due to phytic acid (also making them forget some cataclysmic events/nuclear wars two hundreds years ago).
Also tomatoes, bell pepper, aubergine are literally poison and we should return to turnip.
Seems absurd till you notice that russia imports shitloads of potatoes along with the other ones and had problems covering demand so i wouldn't be surprised if we're gonna see similar theories appear targeting poultry and eggs in particular
this is some warhammer shit. its insanely stupid.
>this is some warhammer shit. its insanely stupid.
Indeed it is, and that didn't even include gems like the claim that russians discovered alcohol in only the last 200 years (because it was pushed by the filthy west through Peter the Great)
This "potato is mindcontrol/peter the great was replaced with an imposter by europeans"-conspiracy is quite niche, to be honest. Most russian conspiratards are consuming international hits like flat earth, chemtrails and ancient aliens in egypt.
But there are some other "domestic market" bangers like "russia is british crypto-colony since at least start of XX century to this day, also israelites are not real and were invented/created by european nobility to be a scapegoat for theirs nefarious schemes"; or whole "alternative chronology" thing with "mud flood", nuclear war 200 years ago, st.petersburg is a relic of previous civilization and alexander/napoleon/hitler being literally the same person as a cherry on top.
There are more, but only things i can remember off the top of my head are tiny "alexander pushkin faked his death, escaped to france and lived the rest of his life as alexandre dumas" and "kusrk was destroyed by an american or british submarine".
>jews are not real and were invented/created by european nobility to be a scapegoat for theirs nefarious schemes
I like this one and think it needs to be brought into the shitflinging going on in Gaza threads.
outschizoing the schizos might be a viable tactic, actually. perhaps not in the long term, but still
How many Russian conspiracy theories can be summed up as "The Americans/Jews/The British are behind it"
If this is true, then why do the Irish still remember how much they hate the Brits?
>Also tomatoes [...] are literally poison
They're literally recycling conspiracy theories from the 1500s
>Putin is scrambling
by God I hope that pun was intentional.
Russian poverty thing. Since the end of last year Russia has been struggling with rising egg prices. This might sound funny but eggs are the most important source of protein for most of the population. With egg prices going up more and more Russians won’t be able to get the proteins they need.
Until a Chechen delivers them some protein rectally of course
Yes but where is the Chechen gonna get his protein with no eggs?
>Chechens lose the strength to rape mobiks
>Blocking regiments crippled and unable to act
>Russian lines fall apart as mobiks flee back into russia
The eggs... the measurements...
Probably its some sort of ironic irl memeing. Government officials of importance, even in relatively poor/remote areas are rolling in cash, because obvious reasons, and its not their salary. Sometimes when someone gets into disfavor with a regime, even minor character of "police chief of bumfrick nowhere, population 50 thousand"-kind, and then the news parade footage of his castle/mansion, garage full of luxury cars and closets full of dollars as "look how we combat corruption, turns out he was very corrupt and we solved the issue".
So no, its not literal poverty. Its either dunking on the poors or just jokingly acknowledging higher prices.
He is doing "hello fellow serfs, i know your problems very well"
nah, that fat fricker prolly grifted them out of the local supermarket somehow - you're good though.

All this egg posting has led me to make banana pancakes.
Remember your shovel.
You can actually see the hopes and dreams leaving her body in real time.
>Shovel eggs
What is the context?
Its supposed to be blini(thin pancakes).
There is a "maslenitsa" holiday at the end of winter, a lot to explain, but important parts are 1) you are supposed to make and eat a lot of blini 2)there are fun public events usually.
So, once in 2015 stavropol, they decided to make an event of cooking the largest blin ever. They did, but then how do you serve a lot of free food to a crowd of people? Put them behind the fence and shovel it to them!
Internet found it funny and somewhat symbolic, so "blini from a shovel" became a meme.
I accidentally bought all purpose instead of bread flour, so I'm making a lot of banana bread this month.
Thanks for backing me up man. It's not like I showed up randomly, with a bunch of eggs. People knew I had ducks and started asking if I had any eggs around Christmas, so I wrapped them as a semi-joke.
Tbh this is preferable to the $10 Starbucks gift cards my boss handed out
Name 1 NATO warship that was sunk by drones.
Anything and everything is obsolete because of drones
i mean they are the next logical evolution, only held back due to the tech not being there yet and/or being prohibitively expensive
Odd choice of cope. Moskals use 95% of their munitions to destroy fields and unimportant civilian targets. I guess projection truly is the only play left in the commie book
>losing 8 expensive sea drones
>losing
Lel.
It seems like any armored assault is
Importance of ships in a land war?
no more kalibration 🙂
It carries only anti-ship missiles. Nominally, anyway. You can ask yourself what the frick it was doing in Ukraine if its only role is counter-naval, but Russkies work in mysterious ways
You can use anti-ship missiles against apartments and other civilian infrastructure.
puccians use anti-ship missiles to hit land targets inside Ukraine
The accuracy is dogshit, but puccians don't care
Garrus, please.
Why isn't the Ukrainian energy grid as under threat this year as it was in the past?
What happened?
>What happened?
Ukraine was starting to run low on munitions for their Soviet Era SAMs winter of last year. Which was exacerbated by Russia introducing cheap ass Shahed spam at that time as well. This year Ukraine has a lot more Western SAMs (both Western Launchers and Soviet launchers converted to fire NATO missiles). Along with having a lot more detachments of guys in pick up trucks with HMG's/MANPADS for the purpose of dealing with the Shahed spam more cost effectively.
The grid itself has also been built to be more robust. With more redundant sub-stations, and more connections back to the EU power grid.
Significant when you are under threat of a naval invasion and thus have to tie up strategic resources to plan for contingencies. Every Russian ship in the black sea that sinks is a ship that cannot support a naval amphibious landing on the coast of Ukraine. The less viable a naval invasion is the more Ukraine can strategically focus its resources on the land war and pushing Russia off its soil.
One less platform for launching missiles/providing air defence in Crimea/Azov
Considering sea access is a major contribution to Ukraine's economy and allows them to export their grain, degrading Russia's ability to interdict or blockade civilian shipping is hugely important to them. Even the fricking Houthis have a better success rate at hitting freighters than the Russians do.
Were the Tarantuls used to bombard Ukraine? I know they only have anti ship missiles but Russia has used those against ground targets before
theres no other conceivable reason for it to be out there
Oh the irony of ziggers declaring all ships bound for Ukrainian ports as military targets...
ruh roh
AAAAAAAAACK
It was transporting 800 Ukrainian pow including 8 Boris Johnson.
For the first time in the history of world wars, a group strike by naval drones guided by a space satellite destroyed a warship that was underway on the high seas in full combat readiness. On February 1, 2024, maritime drones of the Group 13 unit of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine destroyed a Russian Project 12411 missile boat in the Black Sea near a protected naval base on Lake Donuzlav in the temporarily occupied Crimea. The Project 12411 missile boat, with a displacement of up to 500 tons and a crew of 40, is armed with supersonic Moskit P-270 anti-ship missiles. Judging by the video, a group of at least five maritime drones from the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine entered the Russian Black Sea Fleet's Donuzlav base undetected, and the drones attacked the missile boat, which was apparently conducting combat patrols and defending the base, one after another. It is worth noting that Russian intelligence did not notice the approach of the drones.
The crew of the missile boat, according to the GUR, it was the Ivanovets, judging by the video, noticed the approach of the drones visually, and the boat was underway at the time of the attack and could maneuver. A missile boat can reach speeds of over 30 knots and simply escape from the drones. But Ivanivets did not have time to gain speed.
The 76 mm AK-176 bow anti-aircraft artillery system, as can be clearly seen, was in a stowed position, i.e., it was not activated and did not open fire. It is also not evident that the Russians had time to bring two 30 mm AK-630 anti-aircraft artillery systems, which are capable of firing densely at moving targets at short distances, into action. But apparently, the drones were hit by machine gun fire from close range by the watch on duty. However, due to the small size, speed, and maneuverability of the drones, the Russians failed to hit them.
The Group 13 commanders' well-chosen attack tactics are admirable - the first drone hit the stern of the boat from the starboard side to disable the propellers. The boat was unable to reach full speed, but did not stop. Then the second drone also hit the propellers, but on the port side. With these two strikes, the boat was reliably deprived of movement and maneuver.
After that, the ship was competently finished off. The third drone struck the middle of the hull under the Mosquito missile launchers, causing a large hole in the port side. The video from this drone is not shown.
However, the results of the hit are visible on the camera of the fourth drone, which the operator pointed directly into the crater from the third drone in the same place.
The explosion from the fourth drone was fatal for the ship. The impact detonated four Moskit missiles with a total weight of 4 tons each. The Ivanivets missile boat literally blew to pieces, leaving the crew with little chance of survival.
The brilliant success of the Ukrainian soldiers, the command and operators of the DIU Group 13 showed a high level of intelligence, planning, preparation and management of the operation. The attack tactics deserve to be studied as a model.
It is worth noting that the purpose of the attack was not to damage, but to completely destroy the ship, so a whole group of drones was dispatched to reliably perform the task, which allowed us to inflict maximum losses on the enemy.
oh to be a fly on the wall during an intelligence gathering and sharing between Ukrainian and Western sources. To me this is a pretty impressive attack, I have to wonder if Western intelligence agencies think the same?
To be a fly on the wall of a briefing between Putin and his generals lol

To be frank, it's not easy to train naval guns onto something, especially point blank range.
I mean in the sense that it was replaced by vastly superior western AA, yeah
>Ivan, do not be afraid to be of the joining of this attack, SU is always the best of planes, and we have destroyed 110% of xoxol AAaaaaa-
No way people are so fricking moronic that they fall for b8 as lukewarm as this. Have a (You)
And now you have to deal with superior wectern AA instead, pidor. I'm not sure that counts as any form of win.

Destroy all our ships and kill all our sailors, WE DON'T CARE!
Russia will capture all of the world in retaliation!
There is no dumber entity in existence than a pro-Russian
OK so I am interested in how they made these drones, chop up a jetski, use it's hull and engine, stuff it with explosives and then control it remotely?
I saw a mention of a satellite signal, were they using Starlink to control it? That would give the drones some impressive range, any pics of what they looked like?
Their naval drones are literally just repurposed speedboat hulls packed with explosives and a basic RC system.
It can only be Starlink or OneWeb, but since the Pentagon bought 700 terminals to use in Ukraine on their own terms, it's probably Starlink.
How long until Autonomous Drone Swarms render intercontinental ocean travel impossible?

NUH UH
Honestly were the Black Sea Fleet not already as operationally limited as it is the loss wouldn't be as big of a deal but given their larger ships like the Grigorovich's and Krivaks can't risk deployment lest they be hit and sunk like this guy it's a pretty big blow. In any case, less missile tubes for NATO to contend with in the Black Sea / Med is always a good thing, not that the pieces of shit they call the Black Sea Fleet could've broken out into the med under such a hypothetical in the first place.
What's the tactical advantage of having ships you can't deploy?
Fleet in being. Ask krauts.
They can't move weapons in or out with ships. It cuts into profits heavily.
The best part is that Russia is gaining Italy tier military reputation.
Italy is unironically more competent than Russia, WW2 included. Had the USSR not received a steady IV drip of supplies from us angloids they would've suffered the same fate.

Qrd?
How many POWs in there?
I genuinely wonder if in some top secret NATO meetings they have wrapped up a "wishlist" of Russian ships they would rather not have to keep tabs on anymore. Primary Ukrainian benefit seems to be sea denial (achieved a long time ago), and diversion of AD assets because russkies can't have their expensive even if tactically useless ships get sunk.
That said, attacks on ships are some of my favorite footage from the war, massive targets and typically high res footage instead of yet another vaporised soviet shitbox
Nah, I think it's a case of "have autonomous naval drone, will blow up warship." A ship is a relatively easy target, and the ukes have newly made tech that seems to work great.
Yes, the list is the entire Black Sea Fleet, anon any ship that can carry AShMs is something NATO wants gone. Now the top of the list right now is likely the Kilos followed by the Grigorovichs and the Krivaks, but those are all hard targets to hit.
Ukrainian plan is to make this war as costly for russia as possible.
Sinking Blacked Z fleet makes keeping Crimea senseless.
Does Crimea have any shipyard Russia can use to rebuild their scrappy boats?
Does the entire Black Sea coastline have one or two? I'm ignoring money here.
Anon, two drydocks in Crimea had their contents slagged by storm shadow, the Russians are not moronic enough to put more vessels in an easy to hit spot
If Russia runs out of warships in the Black Sea, they can't threaten merchies hauling grain from Odessa, which means more owners will be willing to make the run.
>Are surface warships obsolete in an age of drone swarms?
Not as long as your warships close in weapons don't suck ass, and your crew aren't illiterate alcoholic conscripts. Warships have plenty of firepower to take out drones like this. Letting them literally ram you is some combination of failure of sensors/fire control and crew readiness.
How many crew was it carrying do you guys think? Either way fish eating good tonight

You can just tell that patriot loves his work in this war. You can see it shining in his cold dead eyes.
Could you drive the drone around and ram the survivors?
survivors?
Stop posting this fricking bullshit! All Russian boats is confirmed fine!
What fricking game is this? World of Warships?
The cope on /misc/ has reached hitherto unheard of levels. They've moved passed "oh yeah well we didn't need it ok??" to "well, at least Russia still has a navy, unlike Ukraine!!" not realizing the implications of that statement.
That fricking sinking is some breathtaking footage.
Then fricking Zalulz immediately comes out with another essay on military tech after MSM bullshit.
I forgot what he was like with timing.
The bandits are even fricking claiming this had Hypersonic missiles! Such bullshit! It's barely above a patrol boat! Many such fricking ships in Russian Navy!
How the frick is a country so inept at having a navy? I don't even care who wins but I'm mad because this is such a shit show. Don't Russians have CIWS or whatever else? I refuse to believe that a 40m-60m dollar ship operating in a war theater in 2024 has literally no way to defend itself rather than small arms fired by the sailors.
Russia's never been any good at having a navy, but this is pretty pathetic. I dont think this ship had any real chance to stop these drones, its ancient, non modernized. The crew with machine guns was probably the only thing they had to defend with.
>Don't Russians have CIWS or whatever else?
They do. I just don't think Russian CWIS have thermal optics. It's all either automatic control by the radar system, or manual either through the weapon stations daylight camera or whatever this setup is. Since this attack was at night the AK630's were probably mostly blind.
the dumbest thing nafotroons have come up with is "look a country with a navy vs a country without a navy!", that's not how it works fools

I just had hope there was some screencaps of delicious cope like after the Kilo sub got /ss/'d.
jerking off to trannies
coping, seething and in denial.
so business as usual.
Again, all the losses happening to the Russians aren't even funny anymore. Everyday its another smoking accident. It's exhausting.
If it keeps going like this, by next February there won't be a fricking Russian armed forces with strategic naval and air assets. They'll have a massive army of mobilized reservists with 1960s surplus, nuke and thats it.
