Too many MSM journos take kremlin propaganda at face value instead of doing the most basic of research. Any fool can see multiple photos on social media or even You Tube channels of the ship as nothing but a sunken charred wreck - totally beyond repair.

Probably because there is a significant non-zero chance it could be refloated, repaired, and put back into service.

Or not, they have shown themselves to be spectacularly incompetent recently.

When did you fight? Russians did most of the fighting both in WW2 and now. You cowards just stay on the sidelines and pretend to fight

NATO didn't let Russia growing up it's military. NATO was defeated also!

@@samuellopesbaule5745 Who has NATO been defeated by? and what war have they mobilized to be defeated in???

Many Western countries complain about not having fancy cars, and fancy homes, but if they had to live a week in Ukraine they would sell their souls to get back home. This is why Russia is getting away with what it is doing. The citizens of NATO countries have it too good. They have no immediate threats or fears of being enslaved by Russia, hence they will not put out a full committed effort.

Hear, hear!

I am guessing your at least 8 years old and dont understand a Russian defeat is impossible without a nuclear exchange.Kind regards

No Western leader has articulated an end game strategy for Ukraine to win the war, or a timeline for accomplishing this. And instead of Western citizens asking for this, people are arguing whether more or less weapons should be sent to Ukraine. As long as Western citizens are arguing over that, Western leaders can lean back and never come up with a strategy.

*Russians are coming .... Russians are coming ..... Russians are coming .....😵🥴😵‍💫 .... get ready .... get ready* ..... 😆 ...

It takes a while for the Western industrial base to 'spin up' and produce the required goods, in particular 155mm artillery shells. A critical shortage for the Russians is aircraft. While they currently maintain an advantage they are using up 'hours' on their existing airframes. By contrast, the UAF is building itself up for example with the F16s, which will be a gamechanger. And the air defences are solid despite the imbalance. Or, put it another way, Russia hasn't been able to use its air power advantage due to Western weapon systems and this gap is closing. As the UAF expands, not only do these add capabilities, both defensively and offensively, but also access to additional ammo types and to NATO stockpiles. NATO forces are reliant on air power, and with *working through* Ukrainian forces the UAF simply hasn't been able to fulfil this role. Instead the conflict, at times, has been an artillery duel. This has suited the Russians. tl;dr - so far the Russians have failed to capitalise on the advantages they've had and now the pendulum is swinging against them as additional weapon systems come on stream.

You are correct, this was some time in the making, and is not any retaliation for the sinking of one ship. 4. This is probably a probing attack in force, to check the air defence system, in preparation for a much longer winter bombing campaign,

That would be dangerous - they might tell the truth

​@@johncale1849Accidentally by the simple slip of speech. Is it really possible for Times Radio? Just a rhetoric question.

"I don't understand why the attack is referred to as retaliation for sinking the Rus warship by the reporter. It takes far longer than a couple of days to plan and execute a missile/drone attack" This 'response', if you prefer would have been planned as a contingency months ago and kept updated on an ongoing basis. It wouldn't have been planned from scratch. Putin would have been under pressure to issue some sort of response, such it the nature of the politics of the 'special military operation'.

Vast majority intercepted... pure conjecture

They have been saying that since the war broke out, Russia has run out of men and material numerous times, in fact they were fighting with shovels. The Russian economy was already also destroyed last year, i think it is time everyone reassess the reality of the situation.

Now they just changed their minds. Ukraine is simply not worth it anymore. A ruined country with a ruined economy. It is just an extra load. If you see still some words of support, it is because neo-conservatives always had problems accepting defeat.

I fully agree. Now oil and gas revenue has gone it is only reckless spending on the war that is keeping Russian economy rolling. If not Ukraine then Poland and East Germany.

Yup, all they have is propaganda and TDS.

Navyless countries can still fire anti ship missiles

Funny logic, it turns out that without a fleet you can’t attack ships from land? It’s interesting how the Yemeni Houthis in sandals attack Israeli ships and the US fleet cannot stop it.

Why doesn't Ukraine have a navy?

What happened to Ukraine navy?

Putin learned quickly Russia can’t control Ukrainian air space, and is now learning he can’t control the Black Sea either. What will he do when the Kerch bridge drops this year? 😮

Restrained, and not giving Putin an excuse to further mobilise. Instead NATO continues to support the Ukrainian military. Soon the Crimea will become untenable. Already 20% of the Black Sea fleet has been lost with no replacements in sight. Putin's grip on the Black Sea is weakening against the Ukrainians, who don't have any capital ships in their Navy. Britain is in the process of supplying them with some minesweepers. Try again comrade.

NATO to start a war with Russia due to one of thousand rockets getting off track in their war against Ukraine?

I doubt NATO leaders want WW3, it will damage their personal business abroad.

Actually a good decision to keep money in house. European countries not declared war status so govt not running plants to produce.

Non sense. It looks like Srpska (Slavonia)'s invasion of Croatia.

It's not "realizing his mistake" and turning back.. Cruise missiles do not fly directly to the target, their flight path is often designed to make twists and turns. Why? Because air defence is multi-layered and tries to estimate where the missiles are going to assign targets based on that.

​@@digitalspecter so you are claiming that a cruise missile twisting and turning went into Polish territory? That's hilarious. Must've twisted and turned over 200 miles

​@@theconchonetwork498Russia has launched plenty of attacks via Belarus. Pretty standard protocol for western cruise missiles to fly dog legs to avoid air defences, I assume Kalibr are routed in a similar manner by Russia. Not that it's happened but they could launch from the Baltic or Kaliningrad as well which would pass through Polish airspace.

And how are the defective NK artillery shells working out? Another Communist success story? And the reason that Russia *preferred* to buy from the West rather than "China, India, Brasil, Iran" in the first place, pre-sanctions, was .... oh.

The West has plenty of resources. What exactly is the West defending itself from? Currently the 'Red Army' is floundering in Ukraine, with approximately 17% of Ukraine occupied. The RAF is in NO WAY committed to the fight, and one of the major capabilities of a modern air force is ground attack/AFV destruction. A key component of NATO forces is air power and should an army try to advance into defences with robust air defences the end is always the same: destruction of the attacker. And then look at the Poles. They have a highly capable and highly professional army. In fact that was true in 1939, and they held out against BOTH the fascist Germans and the Red Army, alone, for two weeks. Then they lacked heavy equipment and air power. And that's TWO NATO countries. The Finns and Swedes are very capable militarily, as are the Baltic states. tl;dr - the West have been preparing for this for a long time.

It's a no brainer ..... Russia is grinding them into the soil .... the comedian should have taken the peace deal back in 2022.

@@Ridethebomb777 Well that's BS. As evidenced, Russia was thought to have the 2nd best army in the World. It doesn't even have the 2nd best Army in Ukraine. Secondly, the Ukrainian people have been preparing for this inevitable invasion, they weren't ready to compromise. Thirdly, where is the 'compromise' on the part of Russia? Give back the Ukrainian kids? Agree (not) to be prosecuted for war crimes? Finally, Russia/Putin can't be trusted. They'd simply treat it as a pause and be back for a third attempt in a few years time.

Putler can’t afford to bite off any more than he has now. He’s not able to capture all the territory he claims to have annexed. Meanwhile his navy has been effectively chased out of Sevastopol, his economy is hobbled with permanent (?) sanctions, his NATO borders are twice as long as a year ago and the iron curtain descends again on the Russian sheeple as ever draconian measures are taken to retain control of the country.
