Ukraine fields the Neptune missile system - very new, very modern. Better than the Harpoon system offered by the UK. You do know that Ukraine used to build a lot of high-tech weaponry for Russia, right?
ETA: Well, there goes another one, looks like.
Having the weapon is one thing, knowing where the ship will located and where to aim it is another. They were only able to pull this off due to Western intelligence, the same with all other military accomplishments. In the end I guess it doesn't matter since Russians have shifted to using submarines to launch the missiles. Good luck sinking one of those.

Here is another to pay attention...needs further verification

I guess the Ukrainian defenders will just concentrate on keeping Russian resupply ships from completing their missions then.
In the midst of week 11 of a three-day war. and it looks to me like the Ukrainians have set the Russian military up for a beat down. They are sabotaging supply depots, hitting supply lines, and taking down Generals, one right after another.
The Russian can sure enough lob missiles, but don't appear capable of much else.
I know some are still optimistic that Putin will be able to pull this off, but I'm not sure where that optimism is coming from.
I miss the anti war left. Now they’re position is whatever the media tells them it should be.
The left isn't inherently pacifistic. It is primarily anti-imperialist and anti-fascist. It was primarily leftists among westerners who went to Spain to fight Franco, so it is consistent for a leftist to oppose fascism in modern Russia. If a leftist opposed American imperialist intervention in Iraq, Panama, Nicaragua or Vietnam it is also consistent for us to oppose Russian imperialist intervention in Ukraine or Georgia. Self determination is an important principle and it is one the Russians are trying to deny Ukraine.
Why do anything that hurts us? Why do we want to destroy Russia? What is the objective other than unchecked Russia-phobia in the west? These actions will worsen inflation and puts the world at risk for war. If we simply did nothing except send billions in humanitarian aid, and not pressure the EU to shoot themselves in the foot, we would be in a much better place and this conflict would have likely already been over through negotiations.
You mean, through "negotiations", like a win/lose situation, right?
Oh, ppppplease.. EU has double digits inflation, GDP falling like turd from a high flying eagle and flood of immigrants, working for peanuts to survive, to deal with. While Russia is slowly but steadily restoring its economy and ruble in its strongest position since long times. The only real effect from sanctions is fast fall of EU quality of life and EU being robbed by the US and GB.
OMG, sooo funny, thank you for making me laugh.
Only one word comes to mind: P R O P A G A N D A. And a desperate propaganda, for sure!
Continue posting the funny ones, like this.
Why didn't you continue with your post and ended it saying that that was exactly a reason of why Russia attached Ukraine: To make the US and the UK to rob already poor Europe to the point when it becomes even poorer than both Russia and Ukraine and starting starving to death!
