Ukraine claims its sea drones sank a Russian warship. Moscow says Patriot missiles downed its plane
Ukraine is claiming it used sea drones to sink a Russian warship in the Black Sea during a nighttime attack.
Despite the video evidence and the fact that the patriot missle is a missle interceptor
Patriot isn’t limited to missile interception.
That's what you claim.
"Downed its plane" is burying the lede lol "The aircraft was carrying captive Ukrainian military personnel who had been slated to be exchanged in a prisoner swap."
Russia’s Il-76 plane was presumably downed by Patriot missile system - source — TASS
The Ukrainian armed forces shot down an Il-76 military cargo aircraft over Russia's borderline Belgorod Region on January 24. It was presumably downed by a Western-made Patriot missile system, a law enforcement source told TASS.
"Most likely, a Patriot missile system was used. A probe continues" he said. Another source confirmed this information to TASS.
Il-76 crash
The Ukrainian armed forces shot down an Il-76 military cargo aircraft over Russia's borderline Belgorod Region on January 24. The aircraft was carrying captive Ukrainian military personnel who had been slated to be exchanged in a prisoner swap. The crash killed all 74 people on board, including 65 Ukrainian POWs. The Russian Defense Ministry described the incident as a terrorist attack, pointing out that Kiev had been aware of the mission to transport Ukrainian POWs for a prisoner swap set to take place at the Kolotilovka checkpoint. However, Kiev attacked the plane in order to accuse Moscow of killing Ukrainian service members, the ministry noted.
Only five bodies were recovered, which is about normal for the crew of the plane. There is no evidence of any prisoners. None of the photos or videos from the crash site show a large number of bodies. Russia lied, as usual.
"Russia lied as usual"
Amazing how you managed to lose multiple counteroffensives while winning the entire time. Do you ever get the feeling that maybe you're the one getting duped?

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, known by its Ukrainian acronym GUR, published a video that it said showed naval drones assaulting the Russian missile-armed corvette Ivanovets on Wednesday night.
Ukrainian attacks on Russian aircraft and ships in the Black Sea have helped push Moscow’s naval forces back, allowing Kyiv to increase crucial exports of grain and other goods through its southern ports.
Ukraine’s army chief, Gen. Valerii Zaluznhyi, on Thursday called the development of unmanned weapons systems “a central driver of this war” in an opinion piece published by CNN.
“We must acknowledge the significant advantage enjoyed by the enemy in mobilizing human resources and how that compares with the inability of state institutions in Ukraine to improve the manpower levels of our armed forces without the use of unpopular measures,” Zaluzhnyi wrote.
The general listed three areas Ukraine should focus its main efforts on in 2024: “Creating a system to provide our armed forces with high-tech assets.
In the south, six civilians were wounded in the Kherson region, including a husband and wife in Beryslav who were hit by a drone attack while riding a motorcycle through the city.
