Rumors Swirl Of New Attacks On Black Sea Fleet
The Drive ^ | September 16, 2023 | STETSON PAYNE

Posted on 09/17/2023 5:06:24 AM PDT by Timber Rattler

Claims of new successful drone attacks on Russian warships of the Black Sea Fleet remain unconfirmed as of Saturday, though two ships in question were seen under tow in Sevastopol.

Observers quickly noticed the appearance of Russian Project 1239 Bora-class missile corvette Samum under tow in Sevastopol after a Ukrainian “Sea Baby” uncrewed surface vessel attack Thursday outside Sevastopol. A picture appears to show the hovercraft's stern sitting low in the water with tow boats connected to bow and stern lines, though obvious evidence of damage remains unseen.

Satellite imagery also captured the Black Sea Fleet flagship Admiral Makarov, a Project 11356R Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate, under tow in Sevastopol harbor on Saturday. The image shows what appears to be smoke from the ship’s funnel and again lacks clear evidence of damage from an attack.

This is quite interesting. The Russians are simply unprepared for the preposterously devastating attacks.

The Russian Black Sea Fleet is in mortal danger from attack by a nation having no navy

The piece is in error. There are not rumors.

The Russian Black Sea fleet’s devastating losses are well documented by videos for all the world to see.

Maybe, maybe not. For certain, those that control sat pics lie as a matter of fact. Propagandist on this forum will claim a sat pic shows "x" when it shows no such thing. That's why they are propagandist.

If Ukraine didn’t want to participate they could always just lay down and accept the Russian boot on their throat.

Are you Still so dishonest you can’t admit this is a Russian war of conquest?

Russia began a thousand years ago in Kiev.

There has been a thousand years of history between Russia and Ukraine, including regime change in Ukraine courtesy of the CIA.

But you want to pretend that history began on the day Russia responded to Western proxy aggression.

History rewritten big time here by people that never lived in these parts in the past.

Their frame of reference the Ukrainiacs reference seems to be the Soviet Union the USA is managing a war in Ukraine and Russia to defend the borders of Ukraine as defined by the Soviet Union.

Are our Neoconservative leaders moles of Marx and Lenin?

No proof where those came from. If it is Ukraine, probably a lie or exaggeration. Just a known fact by now.

You know like you and your Zeeper cohorts do all the time.

Your wish is my command:

Rumor has it that because the democrats are so confident in the adoration of the masses, they aren't going to bother to campaign or cheat in 2024.

(How'd I do?)

You are posting your pseudo-history again? Kyiv was founded 500 years before Moscow. The Muscovite Russians have the same relationship to the Kyivan Rus’ as the Romanians have to the Roman Empire. Russia (Moscovy) and Romania were both founded as provinces of a more ancient empire but have deviated culturally and linguistically from the peoples of the capital territories of the founding empires. Russia and Romania may have similar names as the older empires, but Russia as no more claim on Ukraine than Romania has on Italy.

On looking for satellite photos, none in the article.
The only link I opened went to wiki.
Way too many links to open in article.
