    Apparently we're supplying them with a couple of Sandown class minesweepers. The Black Sea is a hell of a place to operate, vulnerable to missile and air strikes with little room for manoeuvre.

    Hey, it's what they got. It surprises me to see they have surface ships at all. I'm certain the Russians will not welcome them.

    My Ukrainian parents generation is the WWII group. I new a handful of that generation who thought that Ukraine should have a Hetman as head of state instead of a president. Given their age I just shook my head.

    It won't enter service until around two years from now.

    Aww. But the Russian armed forces will be completely smashed before then . . . .

    What a bummer.
