Photos of major damage to a Russian Navy submarine attacked while in dry dock in Crimea point to the boat being a complete write-off.
It may still be working. They should put some generals in it and take it for a test dive.
Put some oligarchs on it and send them to the Titanic.
The good news is, the submarine is now even better at submerging rapidly.
But the drawback is that the number of submersion is reduced to one.
Yes yes… true…but the crush depth is greatly increased!
If it’s considered repairable, it’s probably 2 years+.
The USS Ross is looking at almost two years for much needed maintenance repairs all over. 18 months on major repairs is generally considered rapid.
But, based on history, they’ll go cheap with as many shortcuts as possible, so it’ll be reactivated sooner than expected but sink a few months later, by its own accord. Obviously damaging the environment with it, or some other dramatic fuck up to deal with on top. It’s the Russian way.
The original, non-edited picture has been floating around already for the last 24 hours, what an annoying pic to look at when it’s blurred like that.
Anyone know why parts of the photos are censored?
The photos are from the Conflict Intelligence Team, who are not operating with permission from the Russian military.
Any accidental reflection, or visible detail that could identify people in the background or time the photo, could give the Russian police enough information to track down the photographer.
Can’t even squint some detail. They’re gooood.
Maybe so they won’t know where it’s being held?
Maybe it got moved to a new drydock to get fixed and they want to obscure where it is.
For a country with no large surface vessels, Ukraine’s Navy is racking up quite a kill tally.
I imagine holes on a submarine are a pretty dangerous thing, yeah.
And those are some very, ah, large, holes.
It’s just air conditioning.
It’s where they plan to install their new screen doors.
Slava Ukraini!
'tis but a scratch!
It’ll buff right off!
It’ll come out with a bit of dish soap
Get the FLEX TAPE
Russian submarine, go fuck yourself.
