>Project 10410 Svetlyak class ship (part of the Russian Coast Guard) hit in the Black Sea>Reported to be adrift and on fire. Assumed to be a total lossWhy didn't it try to shoot the incoming drones? Did it even detect them?
that's a ukrainian project 10410 svetlyak class ship, stupid hohol
>>65221333It's Russian shipIt's blind, deaf and armed with weapons that can't hit stationary target from 100 meters
>>65221333>10410 Svetlyak class>Sensors and radars>The sensor suite integrates MR-123-02 artillery fire control radar and Liman navigational radar. The export variant is equipped with FR-2150W navigational radar. The boats are also equipped with hull-mounted and dipping sonars.
>>65221333It was full of donbass orphans and hohol POWs, and it was old and obsolete and we didn't need it anywayAlso war crime
>>65221338that's overkill for a coast guard vessel, no?
I mean it's safe to assume they would be trying with small arms.But isn't this actually a better indicator of advances in Ukraine range extenders?I have to wonder if they have done *a lot* more with those aerostats they were working on.Or perhaps it's just submarines range extending submarines range extending submarines range extending a submarine that launches fpvs.
>>65221333why is the conning tower so fucking flammable? do they store fuel and/or munitions in there?
>>65221344inb4 it's some sort of magnesium alloy
Clearly WoWs, fake news
>>65221333>OP is probably baiting, it's going to be a presume hit with no-Hot damn. Is there any reason for the uptick of warship strikes, or is it just the Hornet 2 (or whatever it's called, the Ukie mid-range UGV that's been fucking up logistics for the past two months) being multi-role?
>>65221358>or is it just the Hornet 2 (or whatever it's called, the Ukie mid-range UGV that's been fucking up logistics for the past two months) being multi-role?ships are getting hit by drones with 65+kg of explosives, Hornet 2 won't do much to it.>Is there any reason for the uptick of warship strikesDrones improved, much more drones, internet connection improved(starlink/starlink-mini), perfect satelite recon means they know exactly where each ship is so easy to hunt them down, mission is now to cut of Crimea so more resources allocated to destroy anything floating around Crimea
One of russia main ciws is the ak630. That piece of shit, aside of horrendous accuracy, doesn't have its own radar and on small ship often share the same fire control radar with the 76mm ak176
>in the Black SeaHow did it get there?
>>65221373One would assume it sailed there, boats being floaty and all that.Not this one any more tho, this one is proper fucked
>>65221373inland navigation over rivers and channels
>>65221368Kinda looks like 630 is the only fixed thing on this ship
It's supposed to be on fire.
>>65221358>or is it just the Hornet 2that's not a Hornet 2, it's something domestic made from shit and sticks based on ArduPilot softwaret. drone fag
>>65221379Shouldn't they move ships out of the Black Sea instead of into it?
>>65221396Well, for one thing, they can't. Turkey isn't letting military vessels out.
>>65221402They are letting out, they aren't letting in. Ruslims don't want the ships out, because that would be surrendering the sea to ukies. They wanted to reinforce the fleet, but additional ships weren't allowed in due to wartime.
>>65221333Allegedly, two ships were hit. The first impact is the Svetlyak-class but the second is a Project 21630 Buyan-class
>>65221402These small vessels can move through the internal waterways. Svetlyak class has draft of 2.36m while the Volga-Don canal allows up to 3.6m.
>>65221403>because that would be surrendering the sea to ukiesThat ship has already sailed.
>>65221416Not in the ruslim mind it didn't.
>>65221416*sunk
>>65221338It actually has no night air defense detection capabilities.
>>65221445>we will save money by only fighting during the day. surely the enemy would never attack us at nightreally?
>>65221412......What are the chances this happened because they tried to resupply the Kinburn Spit?
>>65221341They make hundreds of these mid/long range drones daily and they cost next to nothing compared to something like this
>>65221457Is European spirit of fair play, cumrag
>>65221341Apparently not given it just got droned.
>>65221396they want to keep the black sea open for russian commercial shippingso they need to have some floating assets in the black seaif they didn't then we'd be seeing daily attacks on shipping they know any ship they put out there will be attacked but keeping the oil export going is worth so much more than a few small vessels
>>65221333The ship thats on fire is another ship entirely, by the way. Starting at 4 seconds its a Burya-M class ship. So there's 2 ships that are sunk in the same 10 second clip
>>65221531>lose the naval war to a country with no navy>lose the strategic bombing war to a country with no strategic bombers or ballistic missiles>lose the air war to a country that barely has an airforceIt's gonna get worse too.
>>65221344Fire looks a lot bigger on thermals
>>65221344lots of hydraulic fluid and various types of oils and other flammable liquids. Plus getting hit with 100+ pounds of explosives doesn't help
>>65221580What else ukies don't have so zigs can lose it? The fucking ISS? There was a leak not so long ago, mind you. Also try to guess in whose module.
>>65221615>What else ukies don't have so zigs can lose it? Moscow
>>65221615Russians are supposedly about to get kicked out of the ISS because of the stupid shit they keep doing
>>65221483It is. Us Europeans would stop the fight at dusk, have a very cultured meal together, enjoy the wine/schnapps/brandy/gin, have a conversation about our uncultured cousins to the south/east/west/north and their offspring (they are practically gypsies/heathens/belgian/etc, but family is family)Then we'd fuck the local peasant girls, have an early night and get back to battle the next day.Sadly, the Russians count as asiatic and are not civilized.So the droning will continue.
>>65221340They fix it in two weeks anyway.
>>65221341ship is ship
>>65221341Having a decent radar makes sense, having sonar doesn't unless you are using the "coast guard" as part of your navy.
>>65221722>you are using the "coast guard" as part of your navy.You mean the thing that most countries that have both do?
>>65221722Coast guards in any country that works primary as anti submarine warfare force since enemy aircrafts invading home ports should be a very low risk factor but russian be russian.
>>65221344>why is the conning tower so fucking flammable? do they store fuel and/or munitions in there?There's a new ukie drone called the Behemoth, it looks like a short, fat Sneed.It carries a tandem 40kg incendiary and 35kg HEAT/frag warhead, or maybe the other way around.I can't say for sure that this is it but it would be a good choice of drone for the strike.>>65221358>is it just the Hornet 2no, completely different UI.This is two different drones in fact, home grown clearly and not Firepoints either.>>65221394>it's something domestic made from shit and sticks based on ArduPilot softwareTwo different somethings in fact.>>65221416>That ship has already sailed.Not through the Bosphorus it didn't.
Is this from today? I noticed Ukies started targeting these small boats recently.
>>65221333That's 2 different boats, apparetenlyThe first clip is indeed a Project 10410 Svetlyak-class, while the second, is a Project 21630 Buyan-class.
>>65221615How about ukies destroy the russia space program (by attacking a pre-launch missile in Baykonur?). Or destroy their Pacific Fleet? Maybe hit russian nukes?
>>65221831>Two different somethings in fact.It's just the reality that ukies have to be very cheap and efficient in terms of their production.
>>65221831>Behemoth
>>65221499>they want to keep the black sea open for russian commercial shippingOr they could just adhere to the rules based order that made a couple of the stupidly rich to begin with.
>>65221344Ever watched Star Trek?
>>65221945>Behemoth>Ukraine presented the Behemoth strike drone, a domestic Shahed-type system with range up to 300 km, 75 kg payload, speed up to 200 km/h and operating altitude of 90-300 m. >The drone can fly in FPV or autonomous mode, uses Starlink for communications and carries a tandem warhead combining a shaped-charge penetrator and thermobaric munition. It's a step beyond mid-strike but not really long-range. Also can't go very high, basically a mini-shahed, nearly as large a warhead but optimised for infrastructure and the FPV ability is a nice touch to really nail those refinery towers.
>>65222366fat fuck
>>65222386Yep, it's a short-stack sneed.
>>65221340It doesnt matter it got sunk, but also russia will send 200 shaheds to Kyiv in retaliation
>>65222399>also russia will send 200 shaheds to Kyiv in retaliationThey haven't managed a wave that big in a week.Ukraine has autonomous interceptors now, it's click-to-kill with an operator just selecting a target on their radar and clicking "strike" and a nearby interceptor takes off and kills it.

No billionaire would be caught dead in such a small yacht.Despite that, there are some really odd size restrictions on mega yachts.You'll almost never find a yacht that has more than 12 non-crew cabins. There's legal reasons for it but nearly all those floating palaces are restricted to 12 bedrooms which theoretically, can only have one person in each.

>>65222446>I'm 100% certain that happened at some pointthe ukies have (or had, idk) some crazy fuckers downing flying lawnmowers from yak 52s by simply leaning out the cockpit and shooting at them with a gun
>>65222446>Or maybe it was a helicopter with a door gunner?Ukies do that too.And they shoot them down with sidewinders from F-16s.They basically do everything, they have a huge toolkit courtesy of donations and homegrown hacks and bodges and kludges and genuine smekalka.They use it all.

>>65224402>Why its silver btw?Why bother painting it?There could be technical reasons to do so but they might not apply to a drone that's not going to enter storage and is probably being loaded onto a launch trailer right at the factory with an expected field lifetime of a few hours.Maybe they only paint them on rainy days when it might need to keep water out of cracks. And even then a clearcoat out of a spraycan will do the job.

>>65224754I honestly cant tell if thats satire or not
>>65221333why dont they go for the hull?
>>65224902Because the superstructure is a rickety shitheap made from aluminum and plastic. It will catch fire easily, even when hit with a relatively small charge, and keep burning hot. The hull itself is steel, and has no inherent value; even if it's physically intact, the heat from the superstructure fire will have weakened it, and the internals will have been gutted.
>>65224888checked retardbut what >>65224754 is trying to say, the chang in >>65224448 is equating being cucked to doing market research by observing how the other man is pleasuring your partner such that he can learn and improve from it

>>65224988>Zelensky said Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles struck a military plant in Cheboksary that supplies components for Russian drones and missiles.Not exactly the claimed max-range, but still pretty deep at just over 1000km from the front. Seems rumors of navigation improvements may be true given more than one got though, and hit the industrial site.Could still stand to travel a bit lower than it seems to be flying.
>>65225006I mean yeah, but OTOH almost 40% still gets through.This will not lead to an immediate collapse, the Russians along the Dnipro will just slowly wither away.And it is, of course, an ongoing humiliation because the Russian Armed forces can't do jack shit to stop the droning.
>>65225059>This will not lead to an immediate collapse, the Russians along the Dnipro will just slowly wither away.They don't need an immediate collapse, the withering is faster than you'd expect though because attrition from meat assaults and Ukrainian attacks hasn't stopped.The supply of reinforcements and new recruits will be impacted just the same as the freight though.
>>65225059nta, but we won't know the exact scope of impact this year. UKR forces are still early in scaling up their mid-strike capabilities (now that they finally have solutions worth scaling) and RU forces have barely started applying counter-measures. Early 2027 is probably the point at which the next stable-state will be reached. Which may-or-may-not involve the front shifting. We just don't know.
Okay, this may very well be AI slop and I really doubt ziggers would do such a good job of protecting a truck, but it's too funny not to post. However, there are some details that could point to it being real. - The ADR plate in the front (30 | 1202) is for diesel.- THФК is a real fuel company.- The truck is a chinese brand Shacman

>>65224607hmmm, that pilot steering.. so basically Germanwings Flight 9525 :)But of course they are all victims, nothing you can do cumrade
>>65225100They likely provided images of a TNFK truck to the generator and those all have the same warning sign, logo and URL. The license plate visible at the end looks extremely shady and the bolted plates don't look like anything we have seen from the Russians.

I'm interested to see how Russia will respond to the recent drone rape in the long-term. Will they pull AA from different parts of the country to bolster their defense (creating a hole somewhere else) or is the plan to just keep taking it on the chin and tank all the damage?
>>65225100That's straight slop.>>65225135Crashing the economy with no survivors, an excellent plan mein monkë.>>65225138As usual, every accusation a confession. These people will never figure out that the law doesn't matter in their shit hole.
>>65225187That sounds like an excellent way to not only open even more holes in their AD but to have AA assets attrited even faster. They should do it.
OH NO NO NO NO NO
>>65225220Someone throw this lunatic in a gulag before their dangerous slander gives the enemy ideas or demoralizes anyone. Even better, send them in the next wave.
>>65225187They're going to keep taking it on the chin, the nose, tits, tummy and assBecause the alternative is to be the guy who lets Putin know Ukraine is fucking this bitch with no condom, whenever it wants to and what air defense they have is largely ineffective against the numbers that are increasing. Not only that, its not effective because there's no proper coordination and its just piecemeal units fighting on a doctrine that's barely evolved since the Vietnam era
>>65225187I think Russia's main chances of salvaging the situation are:1. Saving up drones and missiles for massive spam on electrical systems during the winter again. With Ukraine out of Patriots with no replacement, they're vulnerable. Plus, they got hit hard last winter so it would be worse this time around.2. A major breakthrough around Kostiantynivka. Once again, the main defenses are good but Ukraine is failing to secure the flanks allowing infiltration groups to sneak in and slowly tighten the noose3. Global/European recession that would result in a reduction in financial support to Ukraine
>>65225259>major breakthroughWith what operational mobility?When has a city falling led to a "major breakthrough" in this war?
>>65225259>Saving up drones and missiles for massive spam on electrical systems during the winter againwinter? Most Russian milbloggers say that situation doesn't change with supplies by start of Autumn they are completely fucked in Zapo, Crimea, Kherson
>>65225259>2. A major breakthrough around Kostiantynivka. Ditto to what the other Anon said. This is retarded.
>>65225259Funny how you can spot zigger posts a mile away. They can't help it, that passive-aggressive smugness always seeps through.
Does Russia even have any credible reserved "breakthrough" formations anymore?
>>65224394>>65224399>>65224408>CheboksaryHoly shit. That place is the main production unit for navigation modules for Shaheds, Iskanders and Kalibrs.
>>65225259>3. Global/European recession that would result in a reduction in financial support to UkraineThirdies always forget that they get hit even harder by a global recession than the western countries. If you are already choking for air, its not going to help you that the oxygen get sucked out of the room.
>>65225259>With Ukraine out of Patriots with no replacementAah, about that.>Fire Point has conducted the first flight tests of the FP-7.x surface-to-air missile, capable of intercepting ballistic missiles and drones, the Financial Times reported. >The missile is being developed as a lower-cost alternative to the Patriot system. According to Fire Point co-founder Denys Shtilerman, the FP-7.x costs about $700,000, compared with roughly $3.8 million for a Patriot PAC-3 interceptor.>The FP-7.x is expected to become part of the Freyja air defense system, which Ukraine is developing together with European partners using their radar and command-and-control systems.>Serial production is planned to begin in August. The missile could enter service in 2027 after receiving infrared homing seekers. It is designed to engage targets at altitudes of up to 25 kilometers, similar to the Patriot system. There's no way this isn't going to be fast-tracked to be ready before winter.
>>65225331>That place was the main production unit for navigation modules for Shaheds, Iskanders and Kalibrs.
>>65225333>they get hit even harder by a global recession than the western countriesThey have less to lose and they are used to live in abject squalor. It makes sense from their perspective, even if they have a minuscule impact on the global market to bring it about, being extraction economies.
>>65224763>he wanted to smoke the C4 but forgot you have to remove the detonator firstI think that is remains of a drone that already blew up. It looks like the battery pack is burning and that explosion is likely a high pressure hydrogen gas explosion.
>>65225346>There's no way this isn't going to be fast-tracked to be ready before winter.Bruh, I'm all for agile R&D and production, but it's like 6 months until winter
>>65225364>Bruh, I'm all for agile R&D and production, but it's like 6 months until winterThe missile has passed flight tests now.They can bolt on a seeker and make it work in six months.If they can't get the Freya radars done in the same time, they can make do with S-400 radars instead.
>>65225377>The missile has passed flight tests now.A prototype has one document flight != there's industrial mass production of finalized product>They can bolt on a seeker and make it work in six months.Based on the pic, there should be a fuck ton of integration done to other systems
>>65225331>navigation modulesHATO decadent indulgence Just point glorious Geran-2 to perfidious holol city and it will of hitting HATO terrorist facility))))
>>65225259>European recessionThats pretty much all because the Irish economy is imploding, the rest are no where near as bad (that isn't to say they are fine)>Konstantinivka Yeah the Ukrainians are having a rough time there. The russians are doing alot of logistics interdiction on the approaches to the city. That being said, taking that one city only leads them to having to take the one right after it. Meanwhile the russian offencive into Lyman is starting to look dicey for them.
>>65225402>A prototype has one document flight != there's industrial mass production of finalized productObviously, it's a step towards that goal.Where did you get the single documented flight from?Anyway I said it's passed flight tests, that strongly implies more than one. Do you know something I don't? Share your source please.>Based on the pic, there should be a fuck ton of integration done to other systemsLink-16 has been done by Ukraine before, the early-warning radar doesn't matter for missile purposes, the tracking radar does but Ukraine has experience with other radar systems, it's not that big a task.If they throw resources (engineers and developers) at this, I think it's doable to fast-track it and be ready before winter.We'll see in November I guess.
>>65225346"semi active image infra red seeker". So there is a giant IR searchlight on the ground?
>>65225438>the Irish economy is implodingfuck them faggots, brits didn't do enough to them

>>65225439I hope you're right, but I'm not that much of an optimist

>>65222366>shahed-typeThis journo cancer is inoperable right? Fuck it I will start calling B2 a Horten Ho-type bomber.
>>65225544>journo cancerI get your point but nobody knows what a Dorner is and Shahed is by far the dominant example of the form-factor.It's not an unreasonable way to describe a low-cost simple delta-wing drone.
>>65225138>>65225528It will never stop fascinating me how once Russian (and many other Slavic) women turn 25 or so they start BOGMAXXING.Does this actually appeal to their men?
>>65225563>Does this actually appeal to their men?No, but they are coping that it does.
>>65225544It took 50 years for them to stop calling every semi-automatic long gun an AK-47
>>65221463Reading comprehension, anon.
>>65225575Oh so it's basically like piercings, hyper long nails, face tattoos etc.
>>65225563>Does this actually appeal to their men?They die of cirrhosis or HIV by their 40s so it balances out. They don't have much time or neurons left by the time the Babushkaification begins.
>>65225325>Does Russia even have any credible reserved "breakthrough" formations anymore?This is a bit speculative, but we can estimate some rough numbers.They should have around 1500 tanks and around 3000 to 3500 IFVs + APCs in service.We do not really know where they are, last time we've seen armored formations appear anywhere in force was when they counterattacked in Kursk.Most day-to-day tank losses are T-62s, and -55s now. A few -72s. This suggests they keep the T-90s and T-72s in reserve.On the IFV and APC side, we're talking shitloads of BMPs. Mostly 1s and some 3s, plus BMDs in lower numbers.BTRs exist, but I am not even sure if tehy're even used by the military or are in Gosgvardiya hands by now.Support elements, like guns, MLRS etc.? They have them, tehy'Re far from running out of Grads. SPGs? Maybe.. They've taken a pounding. Air defense is probably their part that we should not mention.So, yeah. They do have the materiel. If they've kept the crews and infantry intact enough to actually know their shit, they can do their Ardennes offensive.
>>65225448I'm assuming lost in translation, the Diehl seeker is the one in IRIS-T.It seems to work pretty well.
>>65225438>Thats pretty much all because the Irish economy is implodingIts propped up by ziggers, im completely OK with this
>>65225667>In Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising, Western analysts are confused why Russia is keeping Tier-One units in reserve while the frontline is stalematedThe Russians want to invade Iran IRL?
>>65225667>This suggests they keep the T-90s and T-72s in reserve.No, this suggests that they don't any more in working order. The T-62s had to specifically refurbished on contract with the MoD.
>>65225679You mean like they did together with the british while Germany roflstomped eastern Europe and western Russia?
>>65225685No, the numbers do not add up. They have around 200 T-90s that are not in storage, not destroyed, i.e. in service.Another 150 were in storage and refurbished in '23 and '24.Blithely assuming they are all not working is fucking stupid.The T-62s are the oens in teh refurb pipeline right now, along with T-72s. They'll finish the refurb queue sometime next year, then they'll be through their Soviet reserves.
>solves the logistics crisis
>>65225740NTA I wonder if they have any decent crews left to man them...
>>65222415>full of empty shelves >fullkek
>>65225745i see so many dachas
>>65225300>Most Russian milbloggers say that situation doesn't change with supplies by start of Autumn they are completely fucked in Zapo, Crimea, Kherson
>>65225451Yeah well that thing tends to happen when you're entire economy is based on being a tax loophole, and then the loophole is closed. The biggest thing preventing Irish unification is Ireland itself.Staying on topic, I love anti-shipping operations. I want to see more of it. I'm actually somewhat surprised that nobody has given the Ukrainians some torpedoes. A naval drone equipped with one of those could do some very nice work.
>>65222496>ywn ride backseat in a prop plane shooting down drones with your rifle as your buddy pilots you over the plains of your homeland>ywn become a Cossack of the skyWhy live?
>>65225883You can actually do this
>>65222496This should become a sport

>>65226287>You don't really need military equipment when you're advancing on foot.They've been trying this since early this year due to the worsening shortages. The results aren't exactly encouraging.

>>65221333Here's an update on the Boiki in St. Petersburg. It's a total loss
>>65226291why the fuck is half the shit i see out of russia just closing the barn door after the horses bolted? is there seriously no opfor/redteam shit anywhere over there?
>>65226314Nothing that a few bits of metal and some bags of sement cant fix
>>65226314Here's a look at what the internals look like for those curious
Pathetic. Puccian ships can't even see other ships. Does anyone remember the puccian "intelligence" vessel that collided with a freighter in heavy fog and sank near Istanbul?
>>65225105>yuo see, taras, when pull down quick, drone become missile, tak?
>>65226314>mainmast and primary radar deck collapsed inward and downward after severe bucking from heat>air-search radar, targeting radar, and EW arrays all fucked>distortion around the aft funnel indicates extreme heat from internal compartments, likely severe structural warping>scorch marks along the aft superstructure and flight deck show that the blaze likely gutted internal spaces all the way to the hangars and engine spaces>debris scattered on the dry dock floor from midshipsDeader than the Dodo.
>>65221333Russia has a Coast Guard?
>>65226291What about cope cages for the cope cage towers?>>65226316Russia IS the redfor.
>>65226402Yes. It's run by the FSB.

>65226607It's mad.
>65226607Kuibyshev is offline and Sevastapol is exploding again for the curious.
>>65226888Also the Armenians voted on Sunday and re-elected the current ruling party, which has been ever more Russia-averse since Nagorno-Karabakh.
>>65227010NTA>Style yourself as the peacekeeper and the security guarantor for the post-Soviet space (really are just perpetuating frozen conflicts for your own benefit)>Literally do nothing as a frozen conflict is solved by force>Profit?At this point, I half-expect Moldovan police to take over Transnistria.
>>65227028Main problem with Moldova doing that is they'd have to be sober for at least 2-3 hours and I just don't think that's going to happen unless there's an intervention from Romania or Ukraine to step in, take the bottle away and "Hey buddy, its your kid and he needs a fucking whipping to set him straight"Otherwise they're just going to drunkenly ramble about diplomatic solutions until the heat death of the universe
>>65224604Well worth it to make Russians see a flying dildo rape their industry.
>>65226185The one where the dude showed up in funeral attire?
that imagery looks fake and ghey
>>65221626Saved you twice over the past 150 years. I think we should leave you on your own for this one. You glutinous retarded pieces of shit.
>>65227437A burger accusing others of being gluttonous, well I never!
>>65227437You've never saved anybody outside fo the delusions they're teaching in that parody of en education system of yours.
>>65227437The first time you showed up at the very last minute.
>>65224988>>65225001I was pretty sure this was going to be Vaporware and just a PR stunt but color me surprised they got a domestic cruse missile in the field hitting real targets.
>>65228484>I was pretty sure this was going to be Vaporware and just a PR stuntyou're mistaking russia with ukraine
>>65228484it's not even that good of a cruise missile. a competent military would easily doen af least 80% of these. but Russia isn't competent so these are a real kick in the balls
>>65221368Many Russian ship mounted AA turrets have also have BIG issues when the sea isn't still. Many Russian vessels have the radar for their AA turrets mounted separately from the turret often quite far away. During sea movement the ship flexes and isn't a perfectly rigid slab. This causes parallaxes issues as the position of the radar in relation to the turret changes. This throws off the turret aim quite badly when firing. In particular against a small target.
>>65224365What happened here to cause the explosion? I can't tell
>>65228721Could just be a vatnik doing the grenade seppuku while forgetting about the explosives he's carrying
>>65226291They're going to need to put up more of those facades.
>>65226027>This looks a heavy contender for the fucking most fun job in the history of warfareIf you and a buddy can provide the plane, they'd probably pay you to do it.
