This is a BFD.

That ship was used to launch countless missile attacks from the Black Sea. There are two sister ships, but Turkey is denying entry to the Black Sea to all military vessels.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall when Putin heard this.

Let’s hope it brings on a catastrophic cerebral haemorrhage .

I lol'd hard.

Don’t know but I think the Ukrainians just did it.

One story I read said that there are three two ships of the Kirov class.

Of the remaining two, one is undergoing a retrofit and, with all the sanctions, parts might be impossible to obtain. The other one, to replace "The Jewel of the Black Sea" will not be allowed passage, as I said.

It's hard to be an empire when the whole world hates you.
