Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if the missile strikes somehow cause the Russian ships to sink.

One can only hope

Ukraine has several donated Harpoon and native Neptune missile batteries on the coast so they might be in for a surprise if they get too close.

It's been hours since a vessel above 10000 t has caught fire, we're definetly overdue. It's really too bad Ukraine didn't get any major vessels post USSR they would be sitting ducks if Ukraine had a couple of fast well maintained destroyers. The Russian navy can't go past 15 knots. Some good old fashioned main gun duels.

Did you know that Ukraine actually scuttled their ships early in the war. When they never even lost that port...

Did you know that Russia lost a capital ship in a war against a country that doesn’t have a navy

Yep. I do think it sucks that the reason they don't have a navy is Ukraine destroyed it themselves. Those first few days were wild.

Yep, Ukraine was scrambling at beginning of invasion and surprisingly militias were massive MVP, by punching above it's weight giving chance for army to organise. Ukrainian Navy on the other hand, failed badly.
