Details of the sinking of that Russian ship

[blue-wave]

Cruising the net again and just ran across this site. They have great pics, videos and an article discussing the sinking of the Orsk, the Russian war ship that was sunk by Ukraine in the Port of Berdyansk.

1. March 25 photos reveal "Russian Alligator-class landing ship "Saratov" burned & partially submerged.

I enjoyed the video of the two Russian ships, the Orsk and Novocherkassk, racing away. What's the aquatic equivalent of tails between their legs?

6. If a ship could...

Leave skid-marks, that was a demonstration right there.

2. Looks to me

like it may have been sabotage or self-inflicted accident.
The secondaries going off appear to be what caused the real damage.

4. I'm reading the same

That it may have been an accident rather than a direct hit. Nevertheless makes for a good propaganda story.

5. It was a Ukraine missle that started the conflagration and explosions.

The ship was loaded with vehicles and ammunition, including tanks or armored carriers. This was like hitting an ammo dump.
