they sank an unmanned wreck for good press

This ship had already been damaged early in the war, and was simply sitting in the water, out of action and unmanned. Aside from generating twitter memes, what was the purpose of wasting their precious drones sinking it? Attacking ships like the moskva actually accomplished something.

Suuure they did.

it would be literally impossible to hide casualties of that size.

its nonsense.

Yeah, I mean Russia built line after line of defenses, but only withdraw out of fear, not because Russian defensive doctrine is to avoid CQB and withdraw if possible to the next set of defenses.

Defense in depth.

love the spin on that one. It was a solitary vehicle from a wrecked column that got confused, drove in the wrong direction and drove into a ditch.

lol Ukraine is the one full of miserable conscripts. Russians OTOH have been training up for months. This has been a carefully prepared thing. First the Russians pulled back to defensive lines, then laid out fortifications and the missile campaign, now soledar has fallen. I think this phase...

I've seen speculation that considering that there was a very sudden mass departure of Russian warships from the black sea bases, this may be a reshuffle of the command structure to manage a very large incoming offensive.

its a multimillion dollar missile for a drone that costs in the 5 figures.

s300 for an orlan 10 doesnt sound very cost effective

They arent going to waste a missile on the off chance they can kill some random people. It was either a missile that went off course, or they suspect that the mall was being used for other purposes.

It wasnt necessarily an oopsie. It likely couldnt find a target. When this happens, SAMs are programmed to find a spot on the ground and crash. The angle on this footage makes it look closer to the launcher than it was.

No one reporting on the Kalibr missile strike rumoured to have killed many senior Ukrainian officers? https://www.rt.com/russia/557428-50-ukrainian-generals-officers-killed-russia/

i doubt it. Look at the ground. They likely emptied the bags and used em as sand bags.

Looks like the capture of Popasnya is rapidly becoming a general breakthrough

Didnt Ukraine lose several sircraft and drones trying to assault Snake Island?

If you think the direct involvement of the US in killing russian generals isnt going to bite the USA in the ass hard some day, you are deluded.
