    The really funny thing is that those 'woke' nations are kicking Russia's arse without losing a single soldier. And don't forget the two frmale leaders who are about to take their historically neutral nations into NATO. They are humiliating your beloved Vlad. He is on his knees begging China for food to feed his soldiers while these women are humiliating him. Vlad the beta cuck.

    Maybe if Russia had a female defence minister or female leader they would have been smart enough not to get 20,000 Russians killed, 500+ tanks & the flagship of the Black Sea fleet destroyed for nothing. Instead Russia has stupid men sending other stupid men to their deaths. If the 'great reset' stops countries doing things tgha tdumb it sonds like a good alternative to whatever is happening in Russia.

    And there is a good chance there is no longer a ship called Admiral Makarov. It was last spotted on fire & may have sunk by now.

    ~ I understand Russia has a few cast-iron submarines they have not used ... Maybe Pootin should resort to balloons bombs !

    Probably not now...since it's at the bottom.

    Check Adimral (General) Grigorovich Makarov frigate on Wikipedia....

    All I heard it was in fire ....and hit by a Neptune.

    If it's sunk....it's probably under tight wraps til after May 9....optics will look bad for Dwarfstan.

    From what I'm hearing...."Makarov" is still burning after 2 days....or listing badly.

    If still burning after being hit 2 days later.....it'll be well on its way to a constructive total loss. Even if towed back to port it'll be outta the war.

    The BSF may just as well sink her and spare themselves the humiliating sight of a burning wreck being towed back to Port. They can claim it was a victim of an "accidental" fire....or try to anyway. But this might raise questions about BSF preparedness,levels of damage control,etc.

    On another note....I'm hearing Gerasimov is "out" from his post?....Dwarfstan relieved him late yesterday?.....but not totally confirmed yet?

    You post here fake news, zoom. There's is no such a ship as General Makarov in Russian's fleet.
    It is not about General Makarov, but Admiral Makarov. The devil is always hidden in the details. If the twitter poster is confused with the names, the reliability of the information he or she delivers is very low.

    "General/Admiral"....same drift.....another Mafialand tub possibly joined Moskva....it'll be a great scuba diving attraction. Someone should charge admission....proceeds to go for rebuilding after all damage caused.

    Not a case of "low reliability"....more a case it burns your a$$.

    Yes, for accuracy we are discussing some news related to the "Admiral Makarov" a modern frigate of the Russian Navy.
    So far we've got only a video showing a ship which could be the AM [or not, it's similar at first sight]. The ship in the video is on fire.

    This case reminds me what happened with a carrier of the Royal Navy during the Falklands war [the HMS Invincible]..
    If I remember well, while Argentinians claimed to have hit the vessel, the Brits have never admitted that this happened

    A official declaration? With a pompous delegation paying a visit to Ukrainian government to deliver a war declaration written in Latin and on very precious paper?

    The problem for the Argentineans making that particular claim (and I have read more on it than any sane person should) is that the ship in question continued to serve throughout the conflict & then returned home with no obvious evidence of damage. It is sort of hard to miss an Aircraft Carrier & even harder to fake one if it is sunk/damaged. Without it the Brits would have had trouble keeping their harriers flying.

    The Argentinean explanation is that the Americans secretly loaned the British a carrier that was made up to looked exactly like the Invincible. Yep, they actually believe that. Sounds like the sort of thing Jenny, Billy etc. regularly post on behalf of Vlad.

    The Argentinian version was object of discussion also on the message board of the history forum where I'm mod.
    A history forum requires something more than rumors. I personally debunked the Argentinian version.

    Probably about the Russian frigate I could follow the same approach: a lot of smoke with the radar still moving ...
    If I have to judge what has happened considering the only brief available video ... I could think that the Russian frigate has used its last defense to intercept the enemy incoming fire. If you destroy a missile really near to a vessel, you can see that vessel in a cloud: that's the consequence of the explosion of the intercepted missile.

    What I saw in the materials that Argentinians submitted to me wasn't so different.

    IIRC, Argentine pilots repeatedly claimed to have hit the HMS Brilliant as well despite the fact that vessel was never so much as scratched.

    Yes indeed - they did write the book .. The name of which appropriately enough is "Propaganda" :) You clearly havn't read this book .. and no nothing of the subject matter .. but you should. Hitler used this book to great effect - as did many corporations - getting women to smoke was one classic example. After Adolf the Science was rebranded "Public Relations" -- Propaganda having negative Adolf connotations. Putin probably uses this book as well ..

    Funny .. isn't it .. how you get things all backwards so often - one of the effects of "Propaganda" mate .. now go and learn :)

    Correction. I made a mistake. The Brilliant did indeed receive light damage from cannon fire.
