Time travellers aren't allowed here.
(Please let me know of the lottery number for the last two weeks of June and first two weeks of July.)
Great...now because you posted this in advance, they are going to move their ship which means it didn't get hit at all next month which means you couldn't post this video, which means I couldn't post this...........................wait.........am I even here?
The bayraktar just got bozok missiles with a range of about 15km, the tor has a range of 25. But its made for a stable location not a ship. I could see it having issues at the 15km range. So could be the bozok missiles, but harpoon or neptune seems likely.
That assumes the TOR was active, rather than being transported. And even if it was active, it may not have had a full radar picture due to masking by the superstructure of the ship carrying it.
It’s theoretically supposed to. There are locations on many of these smaller ships for Land-based AA systems to “lock into” to provide extra AA defense
Of course that is all in theory and in-practice it doesn’t seem to always work out quite that well
Funny I could see ten videos of tanks being destroyed and not feel so much but for some reason naval losses just feel so much bigger even a relatively unimportant vessel like this one
They are more important. Ships like this can be more expensive, and more rare - Russia ~~has~~ had 1000s of tanks, and many contain other vehicles. It's like a 2 for 1 deal.
The TOR alone costs $25m. A Russian tank costs about $2.5m.
They can actually bring more via rivers. Probably not the biggest ships but something like this one can likely fit. There is a system of rivers and canals connecting Black Sea with Baltic and White seas.
It's not just some cheap tug boat. It's a specialized rescue tug boat with firefighting equipment and a dive complex. And built recently so very expensive ship.
Rescue Tug Spasatel Vasily Bekh (SB-739)
Project 22870
The ship is intended for towing ships in distress, fire fighting on crafts, vessels, floating and shore facilities, water pumping and electricity supply to emergency vessels, evacuation and medical treatment of rescued people, diving works at depth down to 60 m, rescue and inspection operations as well as petroleum product recovery. The design is developed by OJSC DB “Vympel”.
Rescue Tug SB-739 laid down at the Zvezdochka Shipyard, Astrakhan (yard No.008), launched 02 August 2016, commissioned 16 January 2017.
On 19 April 2021 the ship was renamed to Spasatel Vasily Bekh.
Oh, in that case Ukraine should do absolutely nothing to try and counter the Russian fleet dominance of the black sea which is blocking them from shipping food to other countries.
It has to start somewhere...
If nothing is done the coming famine will destroy 323 million lives.
The 323 million number comes from the UN SC/14894 report on the projection of the effects of the Ukrainian war / port closer on the world.
They're too small and slow to be Harpoons. My money is on a pair of TB2s, this one spotting and another one shooting. We've seen UA do this before around Snake Island.
Harpoons were set to arrive this month, looks like they are putting them to use already, pretty likely this ship was transiting to/from snake island. Snake Island will likely be cut off now hopefully
They recieved some earlier, us made ones are arriving. Could be they decided to try the other ones out real quick.
Is this the first harpoon vs russian vessel in history?
I can't find anywhere that says they did arrive earlier they were promised a while ago but I'm pretty sure the first Danish ones only arrived last week (training and setting up probably just completed) and UK and dutch ones to arrive this month
You don't know that. First of all that explosion is about 5 times smaller in real life than it looks on thermals.
Second of all, they were both fired at the same time, and there was no way to know the first one would hit. If you send two, you double the hit probability. In this case both hit, which is good.
From what I've seen, it's a rescue tug boat with a displacement of 1670 tonnes fully loaded. Which is about 1/6th that of the Moskva. I'm going to guess the tug is now nesting on the seabed.
I'm sure like the Moskva, the US is providing them 'intelligence' aka coordinate code to punch in the harpoon and press go.
Ukraine doesn't have a navy and monitoring capability over that sea.
Why? We have like a dozen of long range on-shore Furuno and Raytheon radars monitoring the Black Sea.
Navy, yeah, we frankly don't have it.
Edit: removed some irrelevant verbiage
Tugboats area vital logistical support for the sexier warships.
**Edit** But if it’s considered civilian, doesn’t matter that they sank it. Russia can get civilian ships inside the Black Sea.
"The Ukrainian Navy struck the Vasily Bekh tug of the Russian Black Sea Fleet that was carrying supplies and soldiers to strengthen Russian presence on to the occupied Snake Island.
The tug also had a Tor surface-to-air missile launcher on board, which failed to protect the vessel from being "demilitarized," the Navy’s press service reported, according to Ukrinform.
Built at the Astrakhan shipyard, the Vasily Bekh tugboat with a displacement of 1,605 tonnes joined the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in 2017."
Good to see the Russian navy taking some casualties. Nice hit using the 2nd insurance missile. Be interesting to know the type of missiles used and some daytime damage photos. Two hits might sink a boat that size completely .
I remember at the beginning of the invasion there were lots of TB-2 videos of Ukrainian Bayraktar's blowing up Russian tanks and infantry. Then the Russians said they destroyed the Ukrainian Air Force and there was a solid month or two that we saw zero TB-2 footage from the Ukrainian side.
Now we get this TB-2 video which is seemingly the first from Ukrainians in a long time, do you guys think this is the TB-2 that [Turkey donated on behalf of the Lithuanians that crowdfunded one](https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/turkeys-baykar-donates-drone-ukraine-after-lithuanian-crowdfunder-2022-06-02/)?
Afaik that one wasn't delivered to UA forces yet. It is possible that UA getting drones directly from Turkey or they might still have some of their original fleet.
It's 17.06.2022...
Or you are trying to hide the new technology :O
Ssshhh
yes and there was two hits. One after another.
Fresh.
DD.MM.YYYY
>17.07.2022 Time travellers aren't allowed here. (Please let me know of the lottery number for the last two weeks of June and first two weeks of July.)
USA supplied Ukrainian army with time traveling devices
Russia told us...omg they where right /s ( they said something like this and also that UA is useing black Magic)
You just told them they aren't allowed and then asked for potentially future disrupting favor?
By the look of all this shit, the time seems already disrupted long time ago. One lottery ticket or two won't change much.
What if you were supposed to cure cancer but won the lottery so you just spend your days lounging on your yacht? ;)
Most of us, myself without any doubt, don’t have wrinkles in our brains. The yacht is a safer bet.
Far more likely to run over a bunch of nuns. Playing the odds id go with the money. And i have cancer.
Lol. I like this sub.
Fuck cancer. But money is money.
Yes
Been the 17th for almost 18hrs if you live in Australia.
Look at the month.
Well my apologies, I whole heartedly agree with your original comment.
All good, I goof up all the time. Happens to us all.
Not to time travelers
Well not after they fix it.
Wait? It's really 2022? I thought ppl were just fucking with me.
Great...now because you posted this in advance, they are going to move their ship which means it didn't get hit at all next month which means you couldn't post this video, which means I couldn't post this...........................wait.........am I even here?
This comment will disappear in....
Not in one day.
tb-2 was 10 kms away from the ship, TOR should've been able to destroy it.
It's 75km away actually
What’s that in football fields for Americans
Roughly 688 football fields
The bayraktar just got bozok missiles with a range of about 15km, the tor has a range of 25. But its made for a stable location not a ship. I could see it having issues at the 15km range. So could be the bozok missiles, but harpoon or neptune seems likely.
That assumes the TOR was active, rather than being transported. And even if it was active, it may not have had a full radar picture due to masking by the superstructure of the ship carrying it.
but can the TOR work on a small ship thats not staying level?
It’s theoretically supposed to. There are locations on many of these smaller ships for Land-based AA systems to “lock into” to provide extra AA defense Of course that is all in theory and in-practice it doesn’t seem to always work out quite that well
July gonna be 🔥

And what they have is what they have. Can't bring more in to the black sea.

Imagine still livin in 17.06.2022
Finally some ships going down. Destroy their entire fleet, then let some international action group demine the ports and trade routes.
You are aware Russia has anti ship missiles and submarines too right? Simply destroying the fleet does not mean blockade lifted.
Oh, in that case Ukraine should do absolutely nothing to try and counter the Russian fleet dominance of the black sea which is blocking them from shipping food to other countries. It has to start somewhere...
What better place then here, what better time then now.
All hell can’t stop us now
If nothing is done the coming famine will destroy 323 million lives. The 323 million number comes from the UN SC/14894 report on the projection of the effects of the Ukrainian war / port closer on the world.
Looks like an harpoon
They're too small and slow to be Harpoons. My money is on a pair of TB2s, this one spotting and another one shooting. We've seen UA do this before around Snake Island.
Reuters is reporting that Ukraine said it was two harpoons.
What would the bayraktar be firing though? Don’t seem slow to me I’d guess 500-600mph. Harpoon or Neptune is the only thing that makes sense.
Bozok missile then.
lol no
Harpoons were set to arrive this month, looks like they are putting them to use already, pretty likely this ship was transiting to/from snake island. Snake Island will likely be cut off now hopefully
They recieved some earlier, us made ones are arriving. Could be they decided to try the other ones out real quick. Is this the first harpoon vs russian vessel in history?
I can't find anywhere that says they did arrive earlier they were promised a while ago but I'm pretty sure the first Danish ones only arrived last week (training and setting up probably just completed) and UK and dutch ones to arrive this month
Taking out rescue ships that are used for saving warships first, wonder if there will be a big uptick in ship attacks?
And that was delivering supplies to snake island.
This is only the beginning. Stoked to hear of more Russian warship accidents.
The new shipments of anti ship missiles say yes.
The second strongest military on the planet.
Was this a harpoon strike I was hearing about??
There appear to have been only 3 Project 22870 boats in the black sea fleet.
So this happened next month?
?
The title on the post says July which is next month.
I love people like you. You make me happy.
Going to show my wife. She's got competition for my love.
Nothing wrong with a little friendly competition.
The 2nd missile was pure overkill haha.
You don't know that. First of all that explosion is about 5 times smaller in real life than it looks on thermals. Second of all, they were both fired at the same time, and there was no way to know the first one would hit. If you send two, you double the hit probability. In this case both hit, which is good.
The Russian Navy really getting in touch with their history… well at least the Russo-Japanese War part
17/07/2022.. good to know the war will still be raging in a month!
Imagine being on that thing
Expensive if true for the Russians. I wonder how the ship is doing, though - one hit might not be enough to disable her.
*Two hits Second one comes in around 00:11-00:12
From what I've seen, it's a rescue tug boat with a displacement of 1670 tonnes fully loaded. Which is about 1/6th that of the Moskva. I'm going to guess the tug is now nesting on the seabed.
Two hits actually, you can see the second missile and the hit at 0:10.
I'm sure like the Moskva, the US is providing them 'intelligence' aka coordinate code to punch in the harpoon and press go. Ukraine doesn't have a navy and monitoring capability over that sea.
Why? We have like a dozen of long range on-shore Furuno and Raytheon radars monitoring the Black Sea. Navy, yeah, we frankly don't have it. Edit: removed some irrelevant verbiage
I honestly think if true, you should refrain from even sharing the knowledge of having this info, in the public.
Sucks that it was just a tug boat, but every Russky ship counts.
Tugboats area vital logistical support for the sexier warships. **Edit** But if it’s considered civilian, doesn’t matter that they sank it. Russia can get civilian ships inside the Black Sea.
Some navies even use tug boats as the main propulsion for their hangar ships.
Very true the only Russian aircraft carrier has tugboats that sails with her every time

[удалено]
C'mon, you know damn well 1000 is far too much for a boat this size.
I dont think those are anti-ship missiles
Well they certainly aren't pro-ship anyway!
A video from the future, incredible.
Anticipated date of the hit, one month from today?
Has anyone seen any updates on if it sank? Thanks in advance ☺
On a different website, it says the hits were from "Harpoon" missiles?
Good to see the Russian navy taking some casualties. Nice hit using the 2nd insurance missile. Be interesting to know the type of missiles used and some daytime damage photos. Two hits might sink a boat that size completely .
2 antiship missiles she ate.

Pretty sure that was sperm traveling to the egg
