💥 Destroyed enemy ship “Sergei Kotov”

🎯 On the night of March 4-5, 2024, the special unit of the DIU of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine “Group 13” attacked the patrol ship of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation “Sergei Kotov”.

🤝 The mission took place in cooperation with the Naval Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and with the support of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.

    Oh damn, that looked like it triggered a secondary explosion pretty much immediately.

    Congratulations to the Russian Navy on their new submarine lol :D

      Didn’t seem like it to me. Playing at .5x speed (available in the streamable player), it seems like the flash comes from panning too much to the left close to a light.

      Either way, hope it’s fucked beyond repair 🤟

    It’s all exciting action to record with the phone, until a ship explodes and reality kicks in.

    Well you should know that Russia produces 100 of ships like these a year. And it wasn’t really that damaged and it was going for a refit anyway.

        It was a joke, a collection of usual responses from russian propagandists. It couldn’t go for a refit if it sunk… And the numbers have to be laughably high otherwise you could be prosecuted or suicided.

          You really have to add an /s to things like that. I have seen quite a few tankies make arguments exactly like that without being sarcastic in the least.

      That’s roughly 65 billion $ a year for future seaweed furniture. I am not sure a country that has to buy discount ammunition from North Korea has the capacity to do that for very long.
