The crew of the Russian ship managed to neutralize the Ukrainian aquatic drone before it did any damage.

On Wednesday, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that Russian forces repulsed a new attack on one of their patrol boats in the Black Sea.

“Tonight the Kiev regime made another attempt to attack a Russian Navy vessel accompanying a merchant ship in the southwestern part of the Black Sea with a drone,” Russian authorities said.

The crew of the Russian ship managed to “detect and neutralize” the Ukrainian aquatic drone before it did any damage.

The day before, the Defense Ministry reported that Russian warships had repelled an attack by Ukrainian water drones against several Russian merchant ships in the southwestern Black Sea.

Ukrainian marine drones, which damaged the Crimean bridge in mid-July, have become a weapon that poses a threat to Russian naval superiority.

Moscow suspects that North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has supplied kyiv with technology for manufacturing marine drones, while others are jet skis converted into unmanned kamikaze devices.

Although it took time to do so, the Ukrainian Army claimed responsibility for the latest attack on the Crimean bridge last week.

Putin says it’s just a “Special Military Operation”. Maybe that means he’s the only one allowed to blow stuff/people up.

I think they are failing to emphasize the novel method Ukraine used to attack. Using submersible drones. Ukraine has been trying to build a drone navy.

I’ve been waiting on the submersible drones, are they like full submarines or just barely under the water?

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
