It’s been a game of whack-a-mole sanctioning Russia’s shadow fleet of oil tankers.

The port operators don’t want to be sanctioned, because it would mean losing US business.

They might be busy with the Los Angeles fire.

I love that Zelenskyy does not mince words, and calls out bullshit arguments immediately.

I get where you’re coming from, but videos like this are important. They show the truth of what happened and make sure it’s not forgotten. It’s not just for shock, it’s to document history and hold people accountable.

Where is the celebration in this post? This is a Russian showing the reality of Putin’s war.

They pulled the guys off the island. Many are completely gone, it’s a mess. Finally, at least they’re heading home. Their families will see them. It’s a complete disaster, just fing hell. This is my personal disaster. I just don’t know. That’s how they treat them. How they run after them, approaching by boat and taking them away. Well, these fing scum. They should’ve gone themselves, you know, gone there on their own.

That’s the actual weight.

Yes, without a thermal cloak to hide their body heat, they are fucked. Even with one, it’s mostly just effective at convincing cannon fodder that they’ll be invisible to drones.

Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV)

Sure…

Google it. I don’t provide links to Russian propagandists.

Fighterbomber and Russian Aviation.

The seeker on the missile can track targets up to 40° off the missile’s centerline. A turret would have to be pretty large and it would add extra cost, complexity, and point of potential failure. It’s easier to just turn the boat.

In case you didn’t read the post.

Another similar enemy helicopter was hit by fire and was able to reach its base airfield.

The DIU, not the SBU, never claimed the second helicopter made an emergency water landing. They also didn’t claim it was a Mi-8.

That was the second helicopter, but it was only damaged.

Here is intercepted audio from that helicopter:

PRINCE 482 (MI-8) AT A RANGE OF 40, MAKING A LEFT TURN, MAINTAINING KAZBEK ZERO SIX. 482, I’M GOING DOWN! 482, I’M GOING DOWN! 482, TAKING COURSE TO KIMBU! KEEP TRACK OF ME, I’VE BEEN HIT! 482, CONTINUING FLIGHT, THERE WAS A BANG, THEY HIT ME. ENGINES ARE NORMAL FOR NOW, HOLDING OUT, HEADING TO KIMBU.

LAND ON THE EMERGENCY STRIP, DAMN IT! 482, DESCENDING TO BEACON 24. OBSERVED FROM THE SURFACE: IT WAS FIRED FROM THE LEFT OVER WATER, FLYING STRAIGHT ON TARGET. STARTED MANEUVERING, AND IN THE AREA OF THE ROTOR, THERE WAS A BANG. I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE PARAMETERS WERE, DAMN IT. AUTOPILOT SHUT OFF, NOW IT SEEMS LIKE THE PARAMETERS ARE NORMAL.

482, WE’VE DISPATCHED AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM AND A FIRE TRUCK.

Missile impacts at 0:50 and the helicopter crashes into the water at 1:03.
