    BTW, Ukrainian sources sources claim 4 cruise missiles were sent. They were SCALP-EG (French analog of the British "Storm Shadow"). One was shot down.

    They expect a mass exodus of the Russian fleet to Novorossiysk base.

    More info on that rather spectacular explosion above:

    Ukrainian Security Service and Ukrainian Navy have conducted a successful operation in temporarily occupied Crimea: Russian air defense complex "Triumph" worth $1.2 billion was destroyed - Ukrainska Pravda, citing sources in SSU. According to the sources, first, SSU drones hit the "eyes" of the complex — radars and antennas. After disabling the radar stations, the Navy unit struck the S300/400 Triumph launch systems with two Neptune cruise missiles.

    Rogue Russian pilot tried to shoot down RAF aircraft in 2022

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66798508

    One missle simply missed, the other fell of his wing. You have to wonder how demoralising is it the weapons are that shonky you can't even start WWIII.

    A looong flight back to his base for that pilot.

    Soon they will also pull the T-34s out of storage.

    Confirmed – Russia is Training Soldiers to Use the T-55 Again
    The Soviet main battle tank T-55 is an old machine, made long before the advent of kamikaze-drones, advanced top-attack anti-tank missiles and smart artillery rounds. In fact, the T-55 is a direct descendant of the WW2-era tanks. And now Russians are actively using them again, because the war in Ukraine is quickly reducing their modern tank forces.
