Ukraine Strikes Russian Ship, Moscow Retaliates: Weekend Chaos

Ukrainian air force Su-24 bombers launched cruise missiles at the Russian warship Askold, causing severe damage. This is the latest in a series of missile strikes by Ukraine on Russian warships, including a previous attack on a submarine and landing ship. The Ukrainian missiles pose a significant threat to the Black Sea Fleet, which has already lost several ships during the conflict. The missiles have tandem warheads that can penetrate hardened targets, making them highly effective against warships. The Ukrainian forces are deliberately targeting idle warships in their piers or drydocks. The attack on Askold is a strategic victory for Ukraine in its efforts to control the western Black Sea and protect its cargo ships.

"Russian Warship's Missed Drone Boat Raises Concerns of Deeper Issues"

A Russian warship was struck by a Ukrainian drone boat, raising concerns about complacency, negligence, and underestimating threats within the Russian military. Video footage of the incident shows the drone approaching the ship without any defensive response. The attack highlights the ongoing problem of underestimating the capabilities of the Ukrainian forces. The lack of a robust defense and heightened vigilance is surprising, considering the frequency of drone boat attacks and previous losses suffered by the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The incident suggests a failure to detect or respond to the threat, potentially due to complacency and a lack of preparedness.

The Russian warship Olenegorsky Gornyak has been towed back to port after being struck by Ukrainian drones near a key base of Moscow's Black Sea Fleet, demonstrating the growing capabilities of the Ukrainian forces. The vessel, which is used to transport military and civilian traffic between Russia and occupied Crimea, suffered significant damage. This attack, along with recent strikes on Russian infrastructure, raises questions about Moscow's ability to defend its Black Sea fleet and ports. Experts believe that Russia will respond with further rhetoric and propaganda, while also carrying out retaliatory attacks on Ukrainian cities.
