5. I See What You Did There...

Punny! 😂

For those who don’t know, the LST, or Landing Ship, Tank, was one of the landing craft we designed (jointly with Britain) in WWII, specifically for amphibious assaults to get multiple tanks, cargo and troops directly onto shore during battle.

Tank you, tank you very much!

2. Great News

While Russian soldiers are stuck in the mud and unable to advance, the Ukraine military is cutting off their naval supplies and reinforcement soldiers.

That sinking doesn’t only mean supplies and personnel lost, it means those at the armies on the ground have lost a meal and bullets.

3. Excellent!

I hope some of the more sophisticated weapons they’re receiving can take out a few of those Russian warships in the Black Sea.

4. Anything that augments the siege is beneficial

That may be how this war ends, months from now.

6. Rocket/missile strike? Ukraine Navy have frogmen? Putin gonna be pissed...good job

8. Hopefully they will be able to destroy the Russian ships that are further out .......

in the Black Sea.

As to the border with Belarus same need to happen.

7. Excellent! 👏👏👏👏

9. Maybe Ukraine should take over Russia.

The reverse of Putin's intention. Ukrainians certainly do know how to run things!

10. Great point!

[Joinfortmill]

11. God Bless Ukraine and its people. Fuck Putin.

12. I'm betting all those Russian navy guys thought they were safe compared

with the ground forces getting blown up right and left. Tough luck, boys!

13. Now to get the ships launching explosives

[lagomorph777]

19. +1 Ukraine has proven they know how to do this. Get them the TOOLS!

15. Russia bit off more than it expected.

Hopefully, the ship was jam-packed with marines.

[lagomorph777]

20. It was apparently jam-packed with explosives.

Hopefully lots of Marines in-between as wadding.

16. Give them more anti-ship missiles.

[lagomorph777]

21. +1000 They've proven they can use anything we give them.

Ukraine is performing an invaluable service to NATO. Every tank, troop, plane, chopper, and ship they destroy is one we will never face in battle.

This is a service well worth paying for.

[lagomorph777]

18. This is a HUGE win!

[sarisataka]

22. Perspective

It was a 54 year old ship of a class that has been mostly retired.

The supplies it was carrying were probably more valuable than the ship

[lagomorph777]

23. OK, a whole bunch of valuable supplies taken out in one shot.

Would that not count as a huge win?
