Russia on Wednesday accused Ukraine’s Western allies of helping plan and conduct last week’s missile strike on the Black Sea Fleet’s headquarters on the annexed Crimean Peninsula.

“There is no doubt that the attack had been planned in advance using Western intelligence means, NATO satellite assets and reconnaissance planes and was implemented upon the advice of American and British security agencies and in close coordination with them,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing.

Moscow has repeatedly claimed that the U.S. and its NATO allies have effectively become involved in the conflict by supplying weapons to Ukraine and providing it with intelligence information and helping plan attacks on Russian facilities.

They lost their navy to a country that doesn’t have one.

They really should just pack up and go home.

Jaysyn@kbin.social on 28 Sep 2023 14:00 collapse

They lost the flagship. The rest of the Black Sea fleet still needs to be destroyed.

I've read that those ATACMS they are about to receive can do just the trick too.

Current count is 5 patrol boats, 5 landing ships, 1 cruiser (Moskva), 1 sub, 1 corvette, 1 rescue tug and 1 minesweeper if Wikipedia is to be believed

it as up to date as any western source can be.

Wikipedia is how Russian command gets its intel, so…

HikingVet@lemmy.sdf.org on 28 Sep 2023 17:30 collapse

A few more than that. Losses on both sides since 2014 which is a significant amount.

Yeah if they can get a target lock on the Ruzzian ships the ATACMS would definitely take them out.

So, let me get this straight.

Russia is upset that Ukraine's allies are acting like, well allies.

Yeah, Ukraine has better friends than you. Now fuck off home.

Nato has been giving Ukraine intelligence since the “3 day special military operation” started

Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world on 28 Sep 2023 11:32 next collapse

Remember when US intelligence announced ahead of the invasion that Russia was going to invade based on false pretenses?

Providing Ukraine with intelligence about the invasion literally predates the invasion.

yep we did, now go and fuck yourself Russia.

Haven’t they been saying the whole time the west is involved, what’s the difference?

Kekzkrieger@feddit.de on 28 Sep 2023 11:53 next collapse

I thought it wasn’t a big deal since nothing happened at the headquater and nobody was injured or anything and if anything the great russian air defence surely caught all attempts to harm the headquaters

Does Moscow want to involve Article 5? Because it sure as hell sounds like Moscow wants to invoke Article 5.

Well yeah probably. Not exactly a secret that the United States and Europe help coordinate with Ukraine and help provide intel. Sounds like Russian soldiers may have been of assistance too in this specific case.

Came here to say this. Shit or get off the pot, Pootin’.

The chances of a Russian ICBM making it to any destination with effect is quite low. Aside from decades of black market stripping of parts and fuel, there are many who won’t turn the key because they don’t want to erase their own families (likely being unaware that other launches have been ordered).
