Details are scarce, but apparently Primorsk in the Leningrad Oblast area got hit last night. Hits are being reported on vital port infrastructure, a patrol boat, shadow fleet tanker and a Karakurt class corvette. And apparently two shadow fleet tankers near Novorossiysk in the Black Sea were struck as well
There is also a video going around from one of the strikes on one of the Black Sea shadow fleet tankers
Curious that this happens just after the vatniks were beating their chests over sailing tankers through the English channel unmolested.

FIRMS confirms something huge is on fire.
>>65126700Shame to waste such a beautiful thermal cam, but eggs must be broken to make zee omelet.
>>65126706All filthy hohol drones were shot down by glorious russia, fires are just minor side effect of air defense working as usual(this footage is years old)
>>65126706Spring time burning of the grass, is fineDid you know Russia has T I G E R S?
>>65126717>please stop defending so hard>my car can only take so many hits
Ooh, always nice to catch one of these at the start for once.>>65126708I'm more sad at the loss of the boat.Yeah both need to happen to clown on a very deserving nation, but I like to imagine the retarded shit we could get up to with just one of those boats.
>>65126681Are corvettes a meme? Between Iran and Russia their only purpose seems to be to die the moment they encounter anything meaner than a armed speedboat.
>>65126823No. This was an actual legitimate target because it can launch kalibr missiles.Well, not anymore but still.
>>65126701considering the pathetic state of the UK Royal Navy, that is literally nothing to brag about
>>65126871>UK Royal Navy

>>65126871>they didn't seize, sink, or harass civilian vessels flying the russian flag>perfidious Albion is weak>puccia is very stronk and mightyWould you prefer they had? Because there isn't fuck all the russians could have done about it.
>>65126717Every time I see this clip I wonder how much damage they inflicted in the surrounding buildings and how many of their own people they killed. Crazy.
Another one bites the dust
>>65126871They could have sunk every rusneger ship easily. Politics are different.
>>65126681unimportant fishing villageValday is safe
>>65126700Who's insuring these things? How are they still in business?
>>65127334>Who's insuring these things?the Russian state>How are they still in business?they are running on fumes
>>65127334The insurance being the ship owners won't have their fleet confiscated by the government and their assess sent to some Siberian shit hole gulag or getting a window trip for unpatriotic actions during wartime. When you're an authoritarian mafia state you can easily strong arm the private sector to get them to do what you want, laws be damned.

>>65126871Its not the Royal Navy that you need to worry about, its the japanese torpedoboats
>>65127376It's over when they start bitching about the boa in the turret.
>>65126701The crews refrained from sodomizing each other? That is indeed an achievement worthy of bragging!
>>65126681There will never be a bigger naval embarrassment than this war, although they set the other about 54 bars before it too.Russia + Water = Disaster
>>65126871This post won't stop you from being brown
>>65127397>Russia + Water = Disasterto be fair it's been that way since forever. the story of the russian - japanese war is my favorites
>>65127397>>65127440The Russian Navy has a long and proud history of truly staggering incompetence at every level
>>65127078More like “Temp”
>>65127169They broke the Number 1 rule of gun safety>be sure of your target and what lies beyondOr am I just being old fashioned?
>>65127390or the crocodile with an STD
>>65126700The size of the ocean and the ships on it makes me nervous.
>>65127344Can't the ship owner simply sail over to Europe (or the US if they feel that isn't far enough away) and defect Red October style?
>>65127763The ships are generally owned (through a series of shell companies) by Russian comapnies/oligarchs.Their 'insurance' is basically a handwritten note with 'Dude trust me' on it handed to them by an 'insurer' in some BRICS shithole, also owned by Russia through shell companies.The crew are also Russians, especially the officers.These ships are literally Russian ships flying flags of opportunity to dodge inspections, fees and all forms of liability.
>>65127791Crew are Indians.
>>65126681>>65126700https://bsky.app/profile/wartranslated.bsky.social/post/3mkwtk37ock2ePointed out that it's high in the water, so it's not loaded with cargo, but the direct hit to, and flooding of the engine room, plus damage to the prop and rudder have irreparably fucked it.
>>65128322Difference between jeets and russians is rapidly becoming muddier
>>65128322That vessel should immediately be sunk on principle, then. Shouldn't be a problem to track a ship leaving an endless trail of human waste in its wake.

>>65129293The fuck is an “anti-diversion boat”?
>>65129515Some failed translation.
>>65129515Wikipedia calls it anti-saboteur boathttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grachonok-class_patrol_boat
>>65127364All Putin needed to do is turn back.
>>65126681if the Russians aren't going to use their vast fleet of Armatas to assault the Ukraine why not strap them to the exteriors of their naval vessels to serve as armor
>>65129565>not the Tower
>>65126727My Kia is KIA.
>>65129670The tower represents catastrophe you CAN'T avoid. The Hanged Man works better because he basically had plenty of chances to turn back. He's the Hanged Man who led his people to The Tower.What would Prigozhin be?
>>65127763>Can't the ship owner simply sail over to the USNot the USA. Because Trump removed political oppression as an excuse for asylum and are deporting all russian soldiers en masse back to Russia. And they're doing it with direct flights to ensure none try to escape to some other country if they had a stop-over.
>>65130333>Be Russian>escape to America>everyone on 4chan says president is a zigger, so it's a safe place to lay low>get found by ICE and shipped back to the meat-grinder>fml
i feel like if i were in charge of a war and it was going this badly. i'd just get boredlike, how many briefings can you sit through where the news is "we lost 16 tanks, 400 infantry, 3 choppers and a destroyer" before you eventually just get exhausted and shut the game offlosing is so fucking boring
>>65127315>They could have sunk every rusneger ship easily. Politics are different.The RN is so short on functional ships that the russian convoy was chased by a RN supply ship yelling "Oi! You there! Do you have loicense for channel passage? Staph!" on the radio.
>>65130329>What would Prigozhin be?The Chariot drawn reversed?
>>65127344Insurance isnt just about the ship its about waterways and ports. A shipping facility wont accept an uninsured vessel, and no dockworker in Antwerp cares about idle threats from Banan man
>>65129293>Almost everyone diedWhat the fuck happened? Did both boats explode?
>>65126681>Moscow surrenders Kaliningrad in exchange for no Ukraine NATO membershipIt's not like it's usable after Goetland entered the picture, or Fulda Gap is ever happening as Soviet intended.
>>65129565Cringe
>>65130570they're designed to do that
>>65130352Thats why every now and then they drop something funny, like >Zamboni 2(+1)
>>65127541Real AA rounds self destruct after a certain time / flight distance. I doubt this is the case for russian "anything is AA" rounds.
>>65126871Ignoring the Bongs helped the USA seize several tankers already, the issue isn't the navy, but the cost. Ireland is holding a captured tanker and it is costing then thousands upon thousands per week to hold something that they don't get any benefit from. There isn't actually any real desire, politically, from anybody capturing shadow fleet tankers because if you follow all the proper laws and shit, you just end up with a headache and cost and a berth being held by a tanker you can't do shit with and crew you got to process.
>>6513109214.5mm has no explosives to detonate just a thermite tip.
>>65130571>Moscow surrenders KaliningradTo whom? Russia has a brilliant tactic which is>Take land>Make land terrible>Nobody who wanted that land wants it back nowKarelia is the same. Also the money it'd cost to make Kaliningrad EU law worthy is insane (same as Karelia).Russia and Russians don't mind living in shit. It's why they're happy they're taking shelled out, XO filled, fibre cable covered shitholes in Ukraine. Most normal people in the West would consider that disgusting, but to a Russian it is status quo, we are of stronk ))))
>>65131102Is thousand money a lot to a country?
>>65131133Since 2023, the MV Matthew, which was carrying huge amounts of cocaine has been sitting in a berth in Ireland. It has cost €157m just to have it sit there.So, yes. It is a lot of money.
>>65131140>>65131133Sorry €15.7m.
>>65131121A shelled out, XO filled, fibre cable covered shithole is actually an improvement for the average Russian
>>65131121>Karelia is the same. Also the money it'd cost to make Kaliningrad EU law worthy is insane (same as Karelia).It certainly would rejuvenate the asbestos removal industry in the whole Europe
>>65131102Take the oil and sell, then use the funds as collatoral for the costs of holding and processing. When the funds run out, sell the hull and hold the cash with the other frozen Russian funds until the war ends and they finish paying repatriations to the Ukraine for war damages.
>>65128357Probably better to sink an empty oiler to avoid big ecological damage.
>>65131324Mostly, doesn't really make much difference in the end if the oil can't get onto the ships as well as preventing transportation. Any of those big hits up the ass on those oil tankers pretty much means game over for those as there's nothing around that region with the docks and heavy left gear to fix a fucked prop, missing rudder and blasted engine room. Sort of why those big transports of the Black Sea navy sat at Sevastopol for like 2 years before they got blasted again- no one can fix them
