Only the Russians could lose their entire navy in a land war.
I was wondering if this was similar to the Baltic Fleet and going down the comments looking for a reference. Lemmy did not disappoint
Youtuber Perun joked this week that the Houthis had done more to disrupt international shipping than the Russians had done in the Black Sea.
Perun has some serious deadpan humor.
These things strike me as very... expensive.
Boats are expensive. I know because I was a sailor, and then worked in ship building/repair.
at what point can we call this the most embarrassing war for the Russian navy since the Russo-Japanese war?
You can start anytime.
It already is. But that a big hurdle to cross
Sink em all
With no fleet left they don't need the black sea ports anymore and can get the fuck out of Crimea, right?
What's the story behind the one circled ship? Captured?
I think it's this one. Attacked twice, probably partially sunk in port.
The insert b&w photo is of another ship sunk a couple of days ago by drone boats, with great footage (https://sopuli.xyz/post/8635610). It's the small one in the row above the circled ship.
which one just happened a day or so ago? the letters are tiny, so relying on someone who knows their ships!
Well, they said it was a corvette, so most likely the one ~7 down and 3 in. It seems like it's the right profile
The small "Ivanovets" in the center, the row above the circled one, I believe: https://sopuli.xyz/post/8635610.
I like to imagine at least one of these remaining ships probably doesn't even exist and is just a big embezzlement. It would be par for the course with Russia.
I think I'mma print this one out for my bulletin board so I can keep score at home...
Legit fun idea.

Still can't believe they sunk a fucking DDG with an MLRS lmfao
I wonder when ol' Kuznetsov will meet its fate? Thing can hardly sail as is. Even if Ukraine doesn't take it out, the ship'll probably do the job itself.
So wait, is that the entire Russian fleet?
I would have thought they had more.
By the size of the chart I think it's the black sea fleet and they can't bring any warships through the Bosporus during war time.
