Related side story. New US sanctions on Turkey for playing both sides of the conflict and turning a blind eye to its own violators.jbeaman88 said:TIL that Turkey prohibits the passage of Russian warships through the Bosporus Strait. So Russia's Black Sea fleet is really just that and hasn't been able to transit to deep water since March, 2022. Reading more about this, that was when Turkey invoked the 1936 Montreux Convention which allows them to restrict passages during times of war. One exception is they can't restrict passage of naval ships returning to Black Sea ports where they are registered. Apparently, however, Moscow is now circumventing this by using civilian merchant vessels to supply logistics to its military operations in Syria and Ukraine.74OA said:
Apparently, the scope of Ukraine's naval operation on the day Sevastopol was attacked was wider than previously understood.

Admiral Vladimir Sokolov is commander of the Black Sea Fleet. He is considered by his peers to be battle-tested and highly competent. But several recent defeats show how he's lost the initiative and is hampered by systemic challenges and probably failure of imagination. 1/10 pic.twitter.com/xDWDBJpWAK

The critical variable is still force availability. Kyiv began committing its reserves a month ago, and Russia committed its own in response. Unclear how much attrition both sides have sustained over the last month, but that will likely determine how far Ukraine can advance. https://t.co/RKAW16dndf

At first glance you might think a war of attrition favors Russia with their endless supply of manpower but in modern warfare the side with the better long range weapons wins.

I don't think it will be long before we see Brimstones attached to these UAVs especially if the Brits are already hanging them from a Drone. Hitting a ship with a threesome salvo would provide significant increase in actual impact of the UAV following those hits.Waffledynamics said:👀👀👀👀👀
