 CNN: Russian warship seen listing in Black Sea after Ukrainian sea drone attack on major base 

Ukrainian sea drones attacked a major naval base in Russia on Friday, leaving a damaged Russian warship listing in the Black Sea in a brazen strike carried out hundreds of miles from Ukrainian-held territory. 

Dramatic social media videos showed the vessel, an amphibious Russian landing ship, tilting badly and sitting very low in the water as it was being towed near the base at Novorossiysk, Russia’s largest port. 

The incident comes against the backdrop of rising tensions in the Black Sea and stepped up Ukrainian strikes against targets across Russia after President Volodymr Zelensky pledged to “return” the war to Russian territory.

WNU Editor: I see a trend. A US Global Hawk was in the Black Sea this week. Whenever this US spy drone is in the region, a drone attack like this one usually happens within 48 - 72 hours. 

The ship that was struck, the Olenogorsky Gornyak, is a Russian navy landing craft (link here). 

There is speculation within Russia that this drone attack was launched from Romania, NOT Ukraine. The Military Summary channel has an extensive report on this attack (see video below)

    And?

    Russia p0rovided satellite data to Vietnam during its war with China in 1979 resulting in many chin ese casualties.

    Sucks when the shoe is on the other foot.

    Russia provided Saddam Hussein GPS jammers in 2003. It resulted in ordinance going off target. Russian politicians and generals patted themselves on the back every time those GPS jammers increased collateral damage.

    Sorry mate, that is a propaganda lie.

    If it did happen, That would be a huge event and would be reported on all news wires. Since there is no conformation, we must assume it is like the "ghost of Kiev"

  6. 9:22 is another Frederick R. Lapides non-sequitur special. Really pushing that DemoKKKrat line.

    If Resident Biden is selected again the Republic will be dead.

    what is the difference between Lapides and a Russian troll?

    One lives in America and the other lives in Russia. Oh and the troll is smarter.

    I have not posted today.

    But I agree Skoda, 922 is an idiot. A progressive idiot.

    And thank you for saying that I am smarter than him. I will take that as a complement, since you always say I am a Russian troll.
