Missie attacks make Russian Tanks & Ships vulnerable?
I guess a hundred men with hand held smart missiles is a better offensive weapon than Big tanks,Planes and ships now. Iran is watching and learning.don't you think? Maybe it could have been a big scissor knife drone too!
Putin military is getting a education with proxy wars now.

This is their flagship, the ‘Moscow,’ and they’ve now been forced to admit that it’s been badly damaged," Sullivan pointed out. "And they’ve had to kind of choose between two stories. One story is that it was just incompetence, and the other is that they came under attack. And neither is a particularly good outcome for them."

I think the world stood up and took notice when the funky little Argentine air force sunk the HMS Sheffield during the Falklands war.
Stand-off missiles make surface ships vulnerable, whether from land or air. Even with radar controlled fast firing guns, a ship needs air superiority in the area it is operating.
"In a Thursday morning interview Pentagon spokesman John Kirby weighed in, telling CNN that the Moskva is still afloat but was badly damage. He did not offer confirmation of the Ukrainian version of events, but only said "there was an explosion".
I wouldn't put any stock in anything CNN publishes.
"Missie attacks"
I had a few run ins with some "Missys" in my younger days... 🤣
Yep, so has Putin and he is old and still has not learned a thing!

We used to provide gunfire support up to and even slightly north of the DMZ but with heavy "aircap". I believe those days are long gone.
I need some help, it has been so long since the last time I logged on that I have forgotten how to do so.
