Ukrainian drones have begun striking russian targets with unguided aerial rockets before executing a kamikaze dive to attack the target directly 🤯 Last night, the AFU's Unmanned Systems Forces struck a Project 10410 "Svetlyak-class" border patrol ship in the Caspian Sea 🔥

"mining"

🔥Massive wave of drone strikes by USF drone units overnight on May 16–17: 
• Project 10410 patrol ship in Kaspiysk, Dagestan;
• Tor-M2;
• Strategic Black Sea Fleet communications node in Crimea;
• Fuel train;
• Russian command posts and UAV control centers;
• Port infrastructure in Berdyansk.

Still no all clear in Sevestopol, Ukrainian air raid

This 👇👇👇👇💯

According to the Ukrainian General Staff, Ukrainian forces struck a small missile boat and a minesweeper at the Russian naval base in Kaspiysk, Dagestan, during overnight strikes on May 15. The base serves as one of the key facilities of Russia’s Caspian Flotilla.

Ukrainian forces launched naval drones to strike Russian positions on the Kinburn Peninsula. Footage shows one of two naval drones used today, fitted with three Shmel launcher mounts and a compartment designed to release 6 to 8 FPV drones during an attack. #Ukraine

Re the cargo ship hit in Berdiansk yesterday, I don't think its practical to try to positively ID it from the photos, it is a typical general cargo ship of the type used on the Volga-Don / Volga-Caspian cannal.

Navies need to act fast to ban ballmaxxing

Rings true. Unfortunately the Russian USVs remain a threat, but their tempo and effectiveness is likely reduced for the time being.

The UK is re-deploying its Type 45 air-defence destroyer HMS Dragon to the Middle East, to pre-position the ship in preparation for any potential multinational mission to secure Strait of Hormuz commercial shipping transits 🇬🇧 www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2...

In the same way that people search out pre-atomic steel, soon there will be a premium on pre-AI web content. Sorry to say it, but regardless of your personal merit, anything you publish from now on will be tainted as AI-age

🎯 Ukrainian unit “Prymary” carried out strikes on Russian targets in Crimea: 
— 3 Project 05060 landing assault boats
— Support vessel
— Hangar for landing boats storage
— Be-12 “Chaika” amphibious ASW aircraft

Depressing. I googled “submarine” to and the results are increasingly AI Slop, not real or even informed views. I don’t mind CGI or drawings, but not AI Slop. But how would most people even know. Yet another way AI slop is eroding shared knowledge
