It’s not a Ruski ship, it’s Ukrainian, so Russia has no say over the ship.

Russia contracted the Ukranian ship to do the delivery and the Russian tanks are theirs.

Yes, actually they do have say over the ship. They're going to get their tanks and stuff back.

Okay, well, tell it to the Navy. According to the captions for the Navy pictures above; they’re Ukrainian tanks.

Which ones? I hope the Texas is one of them, she hasn't been to sea since WWII, that would be really cool.

She does have some really cool hood ornaments.

They likely already have magnetic explosives around the engine compartment and near the feeders waiting for the signal. $5 says it sinks.

Those are old Soviet-built tanks, owned by Ukraine after the collapse of USSR.

Ukraine indeed is a manufacturer of armored vehicles but its main production is T-80 (and its further modification T-84). T-72 (and its further modification T-90) produced in Nizhny Tagil, Russia, and they have never been produced in Ukraine.
