Geran attacks at Reni. At least one large warehouse appears burning (0.26 of the video is actual not stock footage). At least 12 Gerans may have hit their targets. These attacks intended to shut down Ukrainian grain trade.


More footage and images of Reni strike.

New York Times writes that Russia has overcome sanctions and further expands missile production. The Russians are definitely making more of other things not just missiles.

I myself can totally see how taking out a sub and a landing ship is going to help their land campaign and not just another PR hit to draw public attention back to their war.

A submarine for example can burrow deep underground and strike at unsuspecting convoys in a fashion not too dissimilar to the sandworm in Return of the Jedi

I’m still trying to wrap my head around how poor the Russian decision making has proven to be. When Ukraine is able to strike even Moscow with impunity, when the Russian AD umbrella has more holes than Swiss cheese, they decide to dry dock a Kilo in Sevastopol? In full view of satellites? They’re basically just hoping they get a 100% interception rate, and we know they didn’t get that. Bizarre.

Yeah, it seems kind of weird to risk these ships in the open. I am guessing that moving them wasn't an option in this case?

Alternatively, there could just be a communication breakdown between various levels of government along with incompetence which is driving these mistakes.

The loss of these boats isn't crippling, but it does seem unnecessary.

Combined strike of the Ukrainian army on Sevastopol on September 13. On the night of September 13, the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out a large-scale missile attack on a ship repair plant in Sevastopol using cruise missiles and naval drones. The thirteenth ship repair plant in the Kilen-balka area was hit. There was also a hit at Sevmorzavod, a shipbuilding enterprise on the ship side of Sevastopol. Explosions were also heard in the Inkerman area, where ships and submarines of the Russian Black Sea Fleet are based. To strike Sevastopol, 10 cruise missiles and three naval drones were used. At the time of the attack, the shipyard was home to a large landing ship and a KILO-class submarine. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that two ships under repair were damaged. It is also reported that 7 out of 10 Ukrainian cruise missiles were shot down and 3 naval drones were destroyed. As a result of the strike, according to preliminary information, a total of 24 people were injured, 4 were in moderate condition.

Could they have hit the fleet instead ? Sure that they hit something of value but bombing ships in repair help a lot less than blowing up their active fleet or a railway station/ship terminal full of supply.

Don't know who decide the shot but these missiles could have sunk an active ship...

Ships on drydocks are as good targets as ones on water since said ships would be sooner than later sailing around.

Will Russian navy risk putting other ships on that drydock? Probably not(?).

Are you really still surprised? They’ve demonstrated this level of incompetence, repeatedly, for the past year and a half!
