The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking

Footage of the strike of the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet-51" on the Ukrainian naval drone Magura V7, armed with two anti-aircraft missiles AIM-9 "Sidewinder". The video was filmed near the Crimean Bridge, the Ukrainian naval drone tried to attack the bridge. This is the second attempt to attack the bridge in a day. As a result of the strike of the drone "Lancet-51", the Ukrainian naval drone was destroyed. It is worth noting that if the drone was near the bridge, then "Starlink" is not jammed there, which is a significant vulnerability.
It's very likely that if AR occurs between China and Taiwan, this war will still be going on.
I believe the war will go on for another 5-7 years if Russia continues to fight the way they do now; slow grinding attrition with the ultimate goal of turning Ukraine into a landlocked nation. The war will escalate because Ukraine will continue these sabotage attacks. I believe they will try to assassinate Putin.
The west will continue to support Ukraine because of their belief in fighting "tyranny and fighting for democracy." They should be more honest with themselves and say they are taking this chance to weaken a major geopolitical foe....which is not a wrong goal to aspire for. Logical anyone should always take any opportunity to weaken their rival.
Which is exactly why Russia needs to pivot it's strategy to go after Ukrainian leadership and follow Israel's playbook.
We are at an inflection point in the conflict where the AFU is abandoning conventional warfare in favor of grey zone operations and terrorist-like attacks. As others have pointed out, Ukraine has no valuable assets (left) for Russia to attack. Elimination of AFU leadership will greatly silence the propaganda coming from the AFU side.

A pro-Ukraine guy claimed that they might have hit a Russian nuclear submarine. Can anyone confirm this?
Don't believe everything you see on the internet, especially from some random dude with his preferred side clearly displayed. In this case, there has been zero followup reports since Sunday, so it's very likely to be false.
Hi,
so what will happen in case a Russian nuclear submarine been hit, what about
radioactive material and other leakage of radiation, in that case russian can’t hide
this attack and one can see the damage control department in action
thank you

No. It's been denied by the Russians and no proof of that. There would be satellite imagery if there were. An FPV drone also won't scratch a submarine even if it did due to the high tensile strength that surrounds a submarine with an inner pressure hull, an outer hydrodynamic hull, so yes effectively thick double spaced armor. On top of that, the outer hull is costed with anechoic rubber tiles that's going to bounce off the drone and provided an additional level of things to get through. Inner pressure hulls are designed to withstand the extreme pressures of depth and they are so strong its a major pain to scrap them, requiring diamond tipped saws to cut them.
Unrelated.
The village of Andreevka in the Sumy region has fallen to the Russians. This leads to an operational encirclement of Ukrainian forces north of the forest and puts the city of Sumy itself under drone and artillery range. Ukrainian authorities are calling for an evacuation.
At this point, the Kursk incursion has reversed itself into the Sumy incursion.
Heavy UAV strikes. Forpost-R bombs Ukrainian forces with laser guided KAB bombs in the village of Gorky in the Sumy region.
TRML-4D AESA radar and IRIS-T hit with an air detonation from an Iskander-M missile.

You would need a larger bomb than on an FPV drone to make a dent on a nuclear submarine. The Russians don't call their nuclear attack submarines 'cruisers' for no reason. They have about the same displacement as a cruiser. SSBNs are even larger.
