Big hole on a sub seems like it might be problematic.

Those Ukrainians are just SO unfair.

A new analysis has found that mobilised Russians who have been sent to Ukraine have only survived, on average, for 4.5 months before being killed. One in five of the mobilised has not survived longer than eight weeks.

This tempest in a teapot is not going to accomplish anything good for either party. I hope it gets sorted out as quickly as possible. In the meantime I am certain the Kremlin is rubbing its bloody hands in anticipatory glee.

I have to wonder how much intelligence is coming from Russian sources.

Good question.

@George-K

It’s possible. Senior staff officers on duty and a daytime strike happens. Perfect military target.

Slava Ukraini!

The Admiral and at least some his staff just may have been taken out in the strike. Also sounds that the local partisans were involved. Kyiv would ateady have the coordinates of the HQ building, all they needed to know was when the bosses would be all there. Just a matter of a green light from the ground. The missiles were already locked and loaded.
