Ukrainian missile blasts Putin’s 112-year-old warship that survived both World Wars & is as old as Titanic

A UKRAINIAN missile struck Putin's oldest naval vessel in a massive blow to Russia's forces in Crimea.

Footage showed flames and smoke billowing out from the 112-year-old warship in the occupied port of Sevastopol this morning.

Explosions hit the area as Russians were forced to issue a missile warning and close Putin's prized Crimea bridge.

Fire engines reportedly rushed to the port to put out the blaze on the 315-ft long vessel.

A caption under the dramatic video, shared by Astra on Telegram, said: "The rocket hit the ship. See, it's burning."

The vessel hit by Ukraine is Kommuna, the world's oldest navy vessel and a prized member of Putin's Black Sea fleet.

First launched in 1913, it's an impressive target for Ukrainian forces after surviving two world wars.

The Kommuna was apparently being prepped to salvage Putin's beloved sunken Moskva warship.

Ukraine just took out Russia’s only salvage and recovery ship in the Black Sea.

Next up:

The Cutty Sark, because it had a Russian crewman, once, in 1876.

===========================

Good news, everyone! No Azov guy assault brigades have mutinied since yesterday!

On the flip side, the day is not over on the Eastern Front.

You Zeepers must be elated with $60 billion of fresh Biden cash to launder with Zelensky.

Pity there will be no victory even with this massive amount of cash, because of the insane amount of corruption in DC and Kiev, which you enthusiastically support.

Funny how you like to read the Ukraine related threads instead of just passing them by. Based on your meme you must enjoy the view.

Ukraine, you moron, is getting its ass handed to it. EVERYDAY, Ukraine loses more territory that it will never, ever get back:

RUAF Capture 90% Of Novomykhailivka & Breakthrough Towards Paraskoviivka

Novomykhailivka, Berdychi And Semenivka Have Fallen | Military Summary And Analysis For 2024.04.21

Now, that the money has been laundered, spare us all the ridiculous propaganda about Ukraine winning or having any chance whatsoever.

Ukrainians are dying so the defense industry can thrive. Own it, Zeeper freak.

And your mom is calling you.

Time for your grilled cheese sandwich and canned tomato soup.

Then it will be time for your nap. If you’re good mommy will read you a story.

The Sun's article wrote in it's video that " a UKR missile is thought to have struck...... Further, if the 'hit' was so important, what's the ridicule it with the 'ancient' vessel stuff? That's like celebrating a 5th generation fighter shooting down a WWI biplane....

In the cost-wise game of war, using OUR overhead and satellite assets and systems to identify, target destroy relics isn't what I call 'winning,' or anything to celebrate.
