They get what they want though, every time it derails the thread for pages and generates words that I'm sure that get copy pasted else where.

It's difficult but just ignore and move on.

I was hoping it would have been a missile strike on the bridge, because that would have been easier to replicate. Also a shame it didn't take out the railway as I'm sure that's the main route of supplies. Hopefully it can be repeated.

Can't imagine they are super expensive. Just keep sending them against the bridge, or the vessels protecting it. The sooner Crimea feels unviable to the Russians the better. The people that died in the strike were going on holiday there FFS.

Unless they used some other naval drones supplied from elsewhere (Russia has shown some alleged footage of drone, but it looked like jet ski), naval drones used by UA in their attacks were developed in Ukraine and they usually use bunch of them in each attack, they're also much cheaper than e.g., single Storm Shadow missile.

There seem to be improvements from comparison to older attacks. Apparently the black sea fleet only barely escaped from this attempt as the drones were destroyed only about 100-150 metres from the ships.

It's like a forum you liked to visit for news and threads like this suddenly got a Stormfront neighbour two clicks away but "relax bro it's a completely different sub forum" yeah but if I live somewhere bordering Russia I really would appreciate it if they were gone.

A mod came in to "get a better picture of what was bothering so many" or some poo poo like that, asked stupid loving questions and seemed to disregard any actual answers or was just too plain stupid to get the idea, but if we drop the pretense it wasn't a sincere effort at all and the thread got closed lmao here we are a year later and these fuckwits are still doing the bit.

In some fun history repeating, they've even developed a navalised version of the Bayraktar TB2 called the TB3, which has folding wings for easier storage and fitting on the deck lifts, though full rate production hasn't started yet.

"That's what they all say!"
From The Guardian. Ukrainians REALLY hate that bridge.

I wonder if another stamp is ready for this new attack.

quote:

As mentioned in the previous post, Ukraine’s post office actually issued a commemorative stamp last year to celebrate the October attack on the Crimea bridge.

It illustrates how hated the bridge is by Ukrainians as a symbol of Russia’s illegal occupation of the Crimean peninsula.

Designed by the Ukrainian artist Yuriy Shapoval, the stamp shows the bridge behind clouds of dark grey smoke.

In the forefront is the famous scene from the Titanic, where Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet stand on the bow of the ship a reference to Russia’s claims that the bridge was unsinkable.
