Well, that ship certainly isn’t “massive” at 4000 tons.

A second ship hit while in the vicinity of Snake Island.... Should start a rumor that the Ukes have eyes on that island. Let the Russian garrison turn upon itself in suspicion.

Only four times larger than the biggest 50-gun galleons in the Spanish Armada.

“Massive” is relative to what remains.
Soon to be “massive” row boats.
I hope.

Should we tell Putin:
It’s never a good thing to have to utilize your assets’ longest offensive range while still inside your opponent’s optimal defensive range???

I’m starting to think a band of Somali pirates could take down the Russian navy. They don’t seem to be very observant.

Putin must have suppressed any competitors more effectively than a newly hatched queen bee. It’s a little amazing that this much incompetence and stupidity have not led to his overthrow yet.

It’s a frigate. They are about the combatant warships you can have.

From Big to small: Carrier > Cruiser > Destroyer > Frigate.

This leaves out some of the other large deck ships like the LHD class helo ships, but you get the point.

You’re right. Russia hasn’t lost any ships in this stupid war. It’s all globalist lies!
