    there was another ship sunk two weeks ago, Tarantul-class Ivanovets. in both cases the same type of drone was used and in both cases the uploaded video was IR so it looks similar. just because you can’t keep up with black sea fleet losses doesn’t mean these aren’t real

      Didn’t say it wasn’t real, just that I saw similar footage a few weeks back and thought this was just a late announcement (Sometimes they don’t officially sink for a while).

      My surprise is more that these drone attacks are so effective when modern warships are meant to be able to defeat cruise missiles, but the equivalent of a kamikaze speedboat is able to surpass it lmao
