Oh where has the Admiral Makarov gone?





It was patrolling near Snake Island providing air defense. It is quite clear russia lost air defense over Snake Island this week.
If no on else wants to announce it, I will: The Admiral Makarov is at the bottom of the sea.

I keep reading, damage to no hit but the hit was the raptors, etc.

But where is it? Some say it has morph into a submarine. I know this is war, but hopefully most made it out alive.

...which is worth about the same as any other conspiracy theory; zilch without evidence. That ship has been sunk, but there is a coordinated effort being made to keep it out of the news until after Putin makes his "victory speech" in Moscow, which happens tomorrow I believe. If Putin has to publicly admit that Russia has lost another one of their most valuable warships in the glare of this weekend's "celebration" it could push him to do something even more reckless with his war in order to compensate

That has got to hurt.
Imagine the fact that Ukraine is crushing the Black Sea Fleet without even owning a warship.
Modern War is not our grandfathers war.

I'm sure that makes sense to most of his citizens because he's so trustworthy.
