So he was not fired after losing the fleet flagship?
And this guy was in charge of Saki airbase as well?

Why risk that ship when an S400 battery on west cost of Crimea could do the same?
Was holding Zmeiny really so important at the time that the ship had to be so exposed ?
Well I guess wel never know, the island was abandoned anyway and a naval landing scrapped ,
No other ship can come through the strait at this time anyway
As for Saki, regardless of whatever it was- if it was sabotage, there should have been crews there patrolling, if it was an accident, well I certainly never have seen a string of accidents affecting the only aircraft carrier in rank, a fleet flagship, and a fleet airbase within 2 years, only a moron could believe it
So if sabotage didn't do it, nor an accident caused by the explosion fairy, then it was a missile strike ,
Again where is the air defense? Kheimim was always facing this, and I have never seen such an explosion destroy those aircraft
Although I have seen incompetent navy sail a mig29k to the bottom of the Mediterranean, as well as a su33 turn into a kilo class trying to land on the beached whale
And shipyards destroy a perfectly good project 20385 by welding next to a gas soaked rag
I know these lazy pieces of shit too well, they're all over the place

Keep in mind that a "normal" hanger that is not hardened or reinforced can actually collapse under pressure from a blast and cause even more damage. Pieces ripped off from such a hanger can be deadly for personnel not to mention the damage it can cause to aircraft.
The most secretive society on the planet, according to western propaganda, but... we got sources there!
Despite the fact that a Ukrainian defence official was quoted in the NY times saying "A device exclusively of Ukrainian manufacture was used.” the U.S could well have been behind this attack on the Saki air base.
These impact craters ( more than 10m wide craters) are way to big for a UAV like TB2 to have delivered a warhead. To make a crater like that we are talking several 100´s of kg off TNT.
Craters are also symmetrical round, indicating the impact came straight from above.
These are most likely ATACMS or something similar that U.S fired from Odessa, over the sea and into Crimea.
AGM-88 is being used along with HIMARS. The AGM-88 can hunt & take out any radar or EW in a +150km range from when it's fired in the air.
Russian Air Force was probably using their radars in on/off mode. Works on slow targets TB2, helos etc. But, an ATACMS @ 3700km/h needs ON mode.
SLAVS from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine are the finest martial race for a reason.
No WW3 isn't around the corner or guaranteed to happen, There is a reason the Russians aren't targeting the people sending the weapons, because long as they don't do that no one will go to war over Ukraine.
To label every single Ukie who fights against the russians as Nazi's and Scum makes you nothing but a Grade A, Piece of shit IMO.
Has I have said before many of them are merely men fighting to defend their homes in their eyes.
Just like any russian soldiers, they are the unfortunate victims of the Scumbags in power.
Do you know why you Buffon, the average Russian soldiers treat the average Ukie soldier they capture with respect? because they know neither of them WANTED this, both are just doing their duty.
To achieve such a missile range the aircraft has to be above 8.000m. At such height it will be seen by long-range radars at 400 to 500km
For all the yapping about "game changer" HIMARS all I have seen from its use is damage to a bridge and damage to high rise apartment
blocks resulting in the death of civilians.
I'll tell you, if it was a "missile" or "rocket" there would be evidence of such already.
Maybe it was an accident after all

It seems that Moskva was tasked to perform radar picket duty, probably to use her long range surveillance radar to monitor Romanian airspace and look for clandestine NATOstani support to Ukropi Odessa.

So to insult them for doing that duty, well has I said POS.
some examples for general reference.

The only Russian units you see today in Ukraine, are pilots of VKS, spetsnaz, SSO, some Rosgvard, and mostly artillery troops from missile and rocket forces wrote:

The flirting that's going on with the continuous sporadic shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant is a well calculated provocation, and a clear signal that says that even sabotaging a nuclear power plant is on the cards if the Kremlin toy boys don't behave. If you can't win the battle, then spoil the territory and its people, after all, it's not a fair fight for the Ukrainians - or so is the rational? I continue to be amazed at how with a limited set of cards as far as Ukraine goes, the outsider puppet masters in the US/UK manage the escalation ladder so well and the Kremlin simply just takes it in the ass (utter, criminal incompetence). Not to the mention the masterful job they've done in neutralizing any internal coup attempt for 8 years and counting. They've created an environment where there is little to no incentive for "heroes" to exist and pull of a coup - definitely not to defend Russia's elite interests in Ukraine.
Now you've got the Kremlin crying in the UN, and with their propaganda arms about a potential nuclear catastrophe. If a catastrophe does indeed occur, then the Russian elite shares as much blame if not more than those doing the act, and should answer to the people affected forever (but then again to the Russian elite, those people are simply cattle - in words and deeds they get treated as such by them, and everybody else - the only variable is who treats them with worse contempt). It's within the Kremlin's power to neutralize the threat completely to leave no room for the threat ever materializing, even if it has a slim chance, which is more than it should ever have aka 0 chance. But instead this incompetent leadership leaves everything to a little games, and "sticking to plans" (whatever the fvck those are...a plan inflexible is no good plan at all), not "biting baits"......aka a dangerous gamble of... "they wouldn't dare".... until they do and then the bluff is called and Russia gets shit faced not knowing what to do against such a brazen act (as it has happened so far with a great many "red lines"). Crying to the "international community" won't do shit even in the event such a catastrophe comes to be.... you can't clean yourself by pointing fingers at the U.S/UK... pointing fingers don't solve problems - this is elementary. At the end of the day, nobody will lift a finger for Russians/Ukranians against the anglo-alliegiance + West if such a catastrophe comes to be. Nobody did it for Japan, nobody did it when Chernobyl went kaput. Mind your turf and take care of it well, cause no one else will. This conflict is a great teacher for the younglings, if studied correctly.
At the end of the day, a nuclear catastrophe in Ukraine does nothing to harm the U.S/UK since Russia won't nuke them for it... but it will be a great spoiler against Russia, an ultimate "fvck you", "we do mean business bitch" message. The Kremlin toy boys are allowing this dangerous game to be played... crazy to watch.

Just switch off the reactors and the problem is solved
After the war is over reactivate them should the need still exist

BTW, where is the massive insurgency promised to us before February 24? I recall clearly how the whole of Ukraine would rise up
to fight Russian invaders.

But those in the know , know , and I am sure remedial action can be taken . Now when does Russia has to respond directly to NATO ? I think only when their attacks become significant . This means that : it is not true that , SMO succeeded or security of Russia was ok ( economic or political or military ) . Planes or Bridges being hit here or there , alter nothing . Advances continue . And this NPP being hit , so that it goes " China syndrome " , as long as the wind blows towards western Europe , then who cares ? Lets call it poetic justice for Europeans supporting Nazis .
Edit : Switch- off reactor , when wind blowing East . Switch - on , when wind blowing West . At least they get sporadic electricity !
