Russian Armed Forces strike drones hit two more vessels heading to the port of Odessa.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has disclosed details of the results of combined daylight attacks by the Russian Armed Forces on enemy territory. Our military focused on port infrastructure, including ships. Such attacks not only damage maritime terminal infrastructure and destroy military cargo and fuel. Attacks on ships are intended to discourage Kyiv's foreign allies from entering Ukrainian ports due to the high security risks.

Today, Russian unmanned aerial vehicles struck two foreign-flagged bulk carriers. The vessels were en route from the port of Chornomorsk (Illichivsk) to the seaport of Odesa. Following the Geranium drone strikes, fires erupted on the ships, producing large amounts of thick, black smoke. This brings the number of vessels damaged by Russian military strikes in the past three days to eleven.

In the port of "Yuzhny" high-precision weapons Air-launched missiles struck infrastructure facilities at the logistics center of the MigTrans transport company, which are used for military purposes. The weapons also hit a parking lot containing 12 trucks and destroyed a fuel tanker.

Russian monitoring channels provide additional information on the destruction of enemy logistics in the frontline zone. Last night, the Russian Aerospace Forces struck an embankment crossing over the Seversky Donets River in the village of Mayaki in the Krasnolimansk sector of the DPR. Four half-ton high-explosive aerial bombs with universal guidance and correction modules accurately hit their targets, creating serious problems for the supply of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this sector of the front. In this sector, FAB strikes with universal guidance and correction modules against the enemy's immediate rear are being carried out around the clock.

We need to fence off the Black Sea from the Ukrainians, they'll just dig themselves a new one.

[Peter1First]

It would be better to dam the Dnieper to restore Herodotus's historic sea—a Belarusian dream... But seriously, 11 ships in 3 days—that sounds like a real logistical exercise for the enemy! Especially since Germany is protecting southern Ukraine from air raids: Iris-T missiles; Gepard missiles; drone interceptors, including those deployed on rafts in front of the port and launched remotely. So they've found a way to penetrate them!

[Aken]

If we had started 5 years ago...
And yes, I remember the saying about grandma.

[Major Yurik]

The entry of ships for the farmstead into the Black Sea must evoke in the owners the same feeling as a taxi ride to Harlem: terror and anuresis... They have no business being in the Black Sea, and a banner at the entrance reads, "The sea is temporarily closed, parasite de-seaization is underway."

[Revolver]

Quote: Major Yurik

the same feeling as a taxi ride to Harlem

I've driven through Harlem more than once. I've even walked there and popped into shops. If it's daytime, and along 125th Street, it's not scary at all. Harlem is home to the campuses of City College of New York, where I happened to take courses, and the famous Columbia University. Although, of course, going down the side streets at night isn't the best idea.

[Escobar]

How many of these ships sank?

[Pravodel]

11 ships in 3 days - that already looks like a real job for the enemy's logistics!

It's certainly good that they've started knocking out ships in the ports of State 404, but the main question is: what are we using to knock them out? Small UAVs can't seriously damage a large ship. Something more serious is needed. When they start firing anti-ship missiles or our forces plant a mine bank in the fairway, then we can talk about cutting off State 404 from the sea.
But there's still the railway supply to deal with. We need to sort out the Beskydy Tunnel and the Chop railway station, where the wheelsets are replaced.
Once we blockade the ports and cut off the land corridor to Europe, things will immediately become much easier for our guys at the front and in the rear. And then, I believe, we can think about a decisive blow to this damned state 404, and finally liberate Nikolaev, Odessa, and other cities from the Ukr-Banderlogs. And let's not forget about Kyiv, the mother of Russian cities, where the Ukr-Banderlogs have already decided to erect a pantheon of their demons in the Kyiv Lavra.

[Prometey]

Everything works out smoothly for you ))

[OSE4Kinsura]

If they had done this 5 years ago, then it might have happened! There is no 404.

[Pravodel]

If they had done this five years ago, it might have happened! There's no 404.

I completely agree with you. But better late than never!
It's good that we finally got around to knocking out and closing ports 404.

[sasha_cho]

And was it even possible to do that? The question is, why are ships still heading to the port of Odessa at full speed, when we have over 50 ships at the Azov Sea, and the cargo flow has practically stopped????

[topol717]

Quote: sasha_cho

When we had more than 50 ships washed away in the Sea of ​​Azov and the cargo flow was practically stopped????

That's how we got there, not 50, but a little less. That's how we began our response.

[ser580]

Uh... tell me, a dumbass (a former motorman at the Azov Shipping Company), where do you get 50!!! SHIPS in the Azov Sea with only one shipping canal? If you're not aware, people don't just sail through the Azov Sea – only through the canals of Rostov, Zhdanov, and Berdyansk. It takes several hours for even one vessel (not a ship) to pass through.

[olboop]

when we had more than 50 ships destroyed in the Sea of ​​Azov

Maybe we should cut down the sturgeon?
Living in Yeysk and interacting with port workers, I've never heard of such a disaster. A more accurate estimate would be around ten.

[bk316]

Maybe we should cut down the sturgeon?

Cut?
Someone here has already written 120...

Judging by the photo, it wasn't much of a blow. Ships should be sunk, not damaged.

And it's no surprise, who's going to tell you? And I'm sure you don't remember that warships were attacked in addition to bulk carriers and tankers. Or rather, you don't know. And there were casualties, too.

I live in Kerch and hear mopeds every day. I see Port Kavkaz burning periodically on the other side of the strait, or tankers or ferries. Kerch itself is also on fire. And the incident with the warship, patrol boat, or something else, I don't know, happened this week. My neighbor saw it from the shore in Geroevka. And what's the point in lying? Why?

[Dart2027]

Mopeds are colloquially called "Shaheds." That is, our Geranis, which fly at Banderites. Update the manual, "Officer's Daughter."

I'm a real person and I actually live in Kerch. And here they really do call me "mopeds" or "Lutikas," if that's a Lyuty UAV, or just drones.
But apparently I'm throwing pearls in vain. You don't need any information, you've done your job and gone home to drink some tasty vodka.
At least you can respect enemy trolls—they're at war. But people like you attract your fellow citizens with your shitty positivity. I hate you scoundrels.

Yes, yes, yes... The longer I live, the more I understand why the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of July 6, 1941 was adopted.

[Normann]

So, it means they can launch missiles at residential buildings?

[Ponimatel]

So, it means they can launch missiles at residential buildings?

No one should fire missiles at residential buildings; that's a war crime. And I wouldn't do that even in retaliation. Instead, I'd try to win the war and punish the war criminals after it's over.

[Pantsuy_]

Quote from: topol717

Well, yeah, maybe you could tell us how to sink a modern ship? Are we going to launch torpedoes at civilian vessels?

Yes, it's elementary. There are enough technical means.
First, we need to publicly declare at the highest level that all civilian vessels traveling through the Black Sea to ports in Krajina for loading and unloading are considered to be carrying weapons, ammunition, and other military equipment, as well as serving the needs of the criminal fascist regime. Therefore, all are legitimate targets and will be mercilessly sunk on such-and-such a date and at such-and-such a time. As if we've warned you. And not to hit them, but to sink them. Preferably within the port waters and berth walls.
There will be a lot of squealing, but we shouldn't care. Experience with Iran's strikes suggests that there will be no response other than squealing. For the fear of even more serious consequences is real.

What was used to sink the cruiser Moskva?

[topol717]

He supposedly drowned while being towed. Any other examples?

[Derbenev Anton]

It seems like he drowned himself.

How is the Kursk?

[topol717]

After does not always mean as a result of.
So what about other examples?

[Derbenev Anton]

Yes, indeed, what's the connection here? Missile strikes on the cruiser and its sinking on the same day. And then a Russian court sentenced a Ukrainian Armed Forces colonel for carrying out the strike. The court ordered the convicted man to pay the Russian Ministry of Defense 2,2 billion rubles as compensation for the destruction of the ship.
I hope I don't need to remind you about other destroyed naval ships. This is about how Ukrainian ships can be sunk.

[topol717]

Well, if you're such an expert, maybe you could tell me about the explosion inside the cruiser Moskva. Or is that irrelevant to you? What, in your opinion, would explode on a merchant ship?

[Derbenev Anton]

In its verdict, the court ordered the Ukrainian colonel to pay 2,2 billion Russian rubles for the destruction of the cruiser Moskva. So you should address this issue to the court. You can write to Supreme Court Chairman Krasnov. How did they manage to collect 2,2 billion for something you don't think happened? And let them write to you in more detail about the explosion inside the cruiser. Unfortunately, I can't help you with your mental disorder. You should either see a doctor or Krasnov. Should I also give you a link to other Navy ships, or should you submit a request to the Ministry of Defense? This is related to the question of how to destroy Ukrainian ships.

It's very simple. 3-4 geraniums along the waterline are quite enough. No bulk carrier will remain afloat with three holds flooded. And why bother with the settings, one wonders? Even if the control center is hit, the bulk carrier will still remain afloat. And to sink any bulk carrier (excluding those loaded with empty barrels 😁), 3-4 geraniums with 50 kg warheads are COMPLETELY enough. Only again, the Kremlin ones.

[topol717]

It would be easy to hit the ship, let alone the waterline, that's something out of science fiction.

That's not true, to put it mildly. If Geranium can hit a moving diesel locomotive (by the way, diesel locomotive speeds are many times greater than that of a steamship), then there's NO problem with hitting it, if not the waterline itself, but the hull nearby. The order simply doesn't sink ships.

[topol717]

There's a video of Geranium attacking a ship at anchor. Watch it and you'll understand a lot.

[nedgen]

I've already seen it. It doesn't mean you CAN'T GO INTO THE CASE.

[Boycott]

A drone can only light a fire on the deck, but they need to be drowned. Otherwise, they won't notice.

[Karelian]

At least it was a fire, albeit not very effective, but still. Enemy resources reported five dead and ten wounded on a Togo-flagged ship moored in the Odessa port.

[Sancheas]

Yeah. The citizens of Togo were killed: Taras, Ondriy, Volodymyr and Dmitro. Well.
And yes, we need to sink them. We have modern anti-ship missiles. They can be used from a boat or an airplane. Apparently, there's no command yet.

[guest]

Quote from Sancheas

Apparently there is no team yet.

Will there be?

[Hey]

A drone can only light a fire on the deck, but they need to be drowned. Otherwise, they won't notice.

You're right. The port needs to be hit with Oreshnik ballistic missiles or something more powerful, not the port itself, but the surrounding waters, causing a mini-tsunami that would disable both the port and all the ships at once.

[Karelian]

Naturally, the effect will be greater than in the barn.

[Couch analyst]

The Persians declared a ban on shipping in the strait, and they didn't need to cause a tsunami, nor do they have a "Nut" plant. And not a single Anglo-Saxon or frog-like bastard ventures into the strait, and if they do, they'll get a slap on the wrist. Russia has more power to declare and enforce a ban on shipping in the Black Sea.

[Normann]

Russia has greater capacity to declare and enforce a ban on shipping in the Black Sea.

Unfortunately, it's just not possible.

[Boycott]

What if it's impossible, but you really want it? Alas, only you and I want it, while those who depend on it, not so much. So, cargo flows to and from Odessa unhindered. Almost.

*A drone can only light a fire on the deck, but they need to be drowned. Otherwise, they won't notice.*

Or maybe you should look at the photos of the *Volgo-Balt 138* to understand how it works.
Or read an interview with Azerbaijani sailors after their vessel was attacked by a Ukrainian UAV here on the website.

[Boycott]

Or maybe you shouldn't compare a gift from God with scrambled eggs and a ship built in 1971, just over 100 meters long, with sea or ocean-going bulk carriers that sail to Odessa?

[seamen2]

I'm not comparing. Unlike you, I've seen the results of UAV hits on *ocean tankers*.
the result is either no progress or the bridge is burned.
And it wasn't on video. So reading your speculations about the fire on the deck...
Sometimes it's better to chew than to talk (c)

[rocket757]

Such attacks not only result in damage to the infrastructure of sea terminals and the destruction of military cargo and fuel.

And yet... the damaged ships burned to the bottom or... there's no talk of them sinking...

[mitrich]

Are the Estonians sitting behind the Wall? In the fifth year, when the Sumerians had sunk a shitload of our warships and merchant ships, did they decide to retaliate a bit?
Yes, a long time ago, not a single vessel should enter, exit or stand in ports 404.

[topol717]

Quote: mitrich

That's your opinion. But there are also international law and other obligations. After all, we're not at war, but at a strategic military conflict.

[alexoff]

Actually, on February 24, 2022, the northern Black Sea was declared a combat zone, and all civilian vessels there immediately disappeared. They only resurfaced after the "grain deal."

[mitrich]

That's the point, this is not a war, but a business for "our" elite.
There's no point in fighting, we need to make money.

[Karelian]

And my opinion: Why should international law only apply to Russia in terms of its observance? The rest have ignored it/forgotten about it.

[alexoff]

What, was that even possible?!
There was even a burning tanker near Odessa; apparently, those kinds of things have sailed there before. Well, better late than never, of course.

When the junta stops taking hints, it becomes necessary to explain with examples what will happen for bad behavior.

[K-50]

Today, Russian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) struck two foreign-flagged bulk carriers. The vessels were en route from the port of Chornomorsk (Illichivsk) to the seaport of Odesa. Following the Geranium drone strikes, fires erupted on the ships, producing large amounts of thick, black smoke.

They shouldn't just smoke, but go straight to the bottom. And the sooner and deeper they sink, the better.

[Stalingrad2010]

It looks like the ice is breaking in terms of cutting off the ports of the Odessa region from exports and imports. There's been some consistency for several days in a row. I'd like to hear from those in the know: is it possible to completely halt traffic at these ports, whether by mining and sinking ships in the fairway or otherwise destroying them at berth? Is it possible to destroy port cranes, oil terminals, and grain handling facilities using a relatively inexpensive method like Geranium 4/5? Although, in my opinion, the Beirut scenario for destroying the port is preferable; I see no point in standing on ceremony with the enemy.

[Ponimatel]

Cool! It's the fifth year... economics... finance... technology... yeah, and fuel... But at least we have

There is some systematicity observed for several days in a row

This really gave me hope, damn!

[tralflot1832]

I wonder what's going on with maritime traffic to Ukraine? It's gotten worse. Guterres should start singing the praises of Africa: without Ukrainian grain, there will be famine.

[S. Viktorovich]

There seems to be no choice. Either organize a blockade of the Black Sea coast, or continue the Black Sea Fleet's masturbation. After the blockade of Crimea, there should be a complete blockade of the northwest Black Sea. No foolish "Geranium" missiles, no other devices ineffective against seagoing vessels. Mining and strike weapons like the "Bastion" are the only options. Maybe the arsenals were just on paper?

[S. Viktorovich]

"Gerani" missiles produce large amounts of black smoke, according to the author. Other means are needed to destroy naval vessels. Smoke is for Zelenskyy and bloggers.

Smoke is also a curtain, a smoke screen.

Yes, other means are needed, but the Elita won't let them. What if they take the pitchfork away (on the Côte d'Azur)? Or a yacht the size of a WWII escort carrier? So the order was just to scare them by hitting the superstructures. And what if 50 kg isn't enough to sink a bulk carrier, let alone a tanker? Don't make me laugh. What's stopping them from repeating this or sending 4-5 Geraniums, but not at the superstructures, but at the hull? No ship will remain afloat if two or three holds are flooded. But here's the problem. I don't want the Elita ruining relations with my partners abroad!!!!

[dnestr74]

The Zircons must fly, what kind of childish games are these?

[Alexey G]

This is not enough. The Black Sea must be closed immediately. Sink everything that moves toward Ukraine. Use not only drones, but submarines too!
And mine the approaches to Odessa, Nikolaev, Ochakov, and Chernomorsk from submarines!

[ser580]

Could you tell me how many active submarines there are in the valiant Chi Fleet, or not the fleet?

[Alexey G]

Could you tell me how many are active?

There were 6, but it was generally a military secret.

Right now, it seems like there's only 1 in service. And that's if the Ukrainians didn't damage it during their last attack on the ports.

[Volunteer Marek]

Can anyone explain what the term "hit" means in this case? Was it sunk? Or was the ship burned to the ground? Or was the anchor dropped, or a porthole knocked out? Or was the paint damaged? If there are no specifics, and with satellite imagery, this can be easily verified, then does that mean there's nothing to show? Apparently, it's the latter.

[ser580]

They hit the FPV (with a suspended grenade) - the crew was scared, the customs officers laughed.

[Carlos Hall]

It was time to do something... the outrage was enormous. Loud, indignant voices were heard... Russia is finally striking decisively and mercilessly at Ukrainian maritime shipping. Their seaborne grain exports must be cut off.
