Submarine promoted to…double submarine
Is that the second sub that Ukraine has managed to sink? I can’t remember if the first one was actually sunk or just badly damaged. Amazing achievement either way.
Same sub. They waited until it was almost repaired then put it down for good.
That is just perfect. Maximum waste of Russian resources.
That can’t have been cheap.
I thought I read a British analysis that they didn’t expect that submarine to be “economically repairable” – that is, Russia would have been better off just building a new sub at that point than repairing it.
The kicker is that Russia absolutely did not need to base that submarine there. They didn’t gain military advantage by doing so. Like, it was a “look, I so fully control Crimea that I can park ships at Sevastopol” thing. This is on Russia choosing to make a symbolic move.
Third Riker of the morning!
Be aware of rikeflation tho.
Impossible. Riker is eternal and infinite. One long sour note reverberating through the universe, there for us when we need him.
