Estonia cannot understand why Russia is carrying out "threatening" nuclear exercises, says Estonian Prime Minister Kalass.
A few days ago, the commander of the Estonian Defence Forces, Martin Herem, called for a blockade of Russian naval vessels in the Baltic Sea.
A few weeks earlier, the general promised to defeat the Russian armed forces and threatened to destroy Russia's infrastructure.

Chihuahuas do bark the loudest...

I say they should go for it, no guts no glory

Threatening continued. Mirror reports:

Vladimir Putin's inauguration sees Kremlin leader issue chilling 10-word threat to the West

Putin threatened: "The destiny of Russia will be determined by ourselves only."

This is new in the sea drone warfare in Ukraine

Ukrainians have adapted marine drones to carry air to air Soviet missiles.

Many believe this to be impossible until today, when Russian channels showed evidence

Still unclear how the Ukrainians wanted to use that missile(s).
Most people believe it was just to shoot without lock by the infrared. Others think it was to be used for shooting with hope that the infrared guidance will lock on something at sea or on shore while the missile is in flight.
Others think it is just an extra amount of explosive if the kamikaze boat hits something.

In before Karla Hurefureinpfennig proclaims doom. Yeah, seems Ukraine hit a minor oil refinery in Lugansk and killed people. The net impact on the war? Not all that much. Just goes to show that all the wonderwaffles NATO gives Ukraine will only be used in civilian attacks on people that oddly enough Elensky says are Ukrainian. Kinda weird to hit those you say are your own civilians but he is a complete arsehead. My prediction, the NATO forces who are orchestrating these attacks (in this case British) will be dying of "natural causes" or "training accidents" very soon.

Oh and not to be outdone, someone hit an oil refinery in US occupied northeast Syria:

Is the US incapable of stopping third world nations like Syria and Iran? Does the US even have any oil left? Will I be able to put gas in my car tomorrow?

Your propaganda attack has been preempted and rendered as inert as the great Ukrainian offensive of summer 2023.

Those drones are easy targets for FPV drones. They need to patrol with zala drones around their ports and install some fixed sea vased sonars to hear them coming. Once spotted you send a dumb fpv drone with a big HE warhead to detonate the drones's big explosives.

Easy but russians struggle finding ways to do such simple things.

Btw this drone seems to have shot one of its missiles. Probably at this helicopter because we can see the pilot is totally afraid and stays very close behind so that the missile can't arm itself een if it locks onto him.

From what I can tell the agreement they are going for in Switzerland is something along the lines of Zelenskys wishlist where everyone talks about his "Russia must surrender" document and he hopes they will all agree it is reasonable so then he can make threats based on the whole world siding with Ukraine against Russia.

They can't achieve a victory on the battlefield where they could go directly to peace talks and say... "See... we are turning this around... surrender before it gets really bad for you (like it is for us now)."

Russia is of course going to say we already have more land than you are offering and we don't trust to with the the land you do control to treat the people with respect and to respect their rights. We are going to continue our rescue till western control of Kiev is gone and the people of what was called Ukraine have a real future without western interference.

They don't need to join the Russian Federation, but they are not joining the EU or HATO.

Any agreements they signed or debt they took on under the influence of the west will not be honoured by Russia or the new neutral state created by this conflict.

Typical Western politician, either stupid or just plain ignorant.

That was in a video recently with Ka-29 helicopters shooting at drones on the water.

They actually said it made the drones easier to destroy because if you hit the missile then the fire it creates can destroy the drone.

Problem is however they plan to use the AAMs in the shore bombardment role Razz

I think the plan was to allow the drones to defend themselves from helicopters which seem to be rather good a destroying them.

The results so far seem to suggest the missiles catch fire and enable the destruction of the drone more easily than they allow the drone to defend itself.

Putin threatened: "The destiny of Russia will be determined by ourselves only."

Only a UK newspaper would think self determination for a country is a scary thing... they will wait till the US tells them how to respond before they come up with any reply though.

Others think it is just an extra amount of explosive if the kamikaze boat hits something.

I would guess they wanted to either use it against the helicopters being used to destroy the drones, or to make the Russians think the drones are defended and try to engage them from standoff distances.

Either way they found hitting the AAM destroyed the drone so either way it backfired.

Sounds like naval helicopters need a DIRCMS upgrade... using a few Mi-28NM or Ka-52Ms with cannon should be a good solution to dealing with these threats...

Are you sure about that?

In Russia, they are testing a remedy against naval drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Russian publics claim.

Warships of the Black Sea Fleet are armed with FPV drones with fragmentation warheads, which can be detonated remotely from the target to hit Ukrainian naval drones.

A video of testing this weapon has been published.
