  1. Tarantul class missile boats are only 500 tonnes displacement, so properly a corvette, not a cruiser.

  2. – Damn it, that’s impressive: with a Starlink(?) low-latency link they were able to stream video & steer until the last second before impact…
    – This allowed the second drone to strike the ship **through the hole made on the hull by the first drone…**
    – Massive explosion suggests either a large warhead of the drone, or that they managed to strike ammo.
    – ~~No way this very valuable high-tech missile carrier ship survived, it’s now on the sea floor with the Moskva.~~ Last 2 seconds of the video shows the ship rotated by 90°, vertically: it’s ded.

  3. The ship being first immobilized, then hit on it’s side, then 2 drones entering the previous hole, then the ship ammo rack cooking off and finally the ship sinking, it’s like seeing an insect being dismembered. No words can describe how beautiful this video is.

    Seeing ukraine’s drone program succeed has been beautiful, truly.

  4. A corvette changing into a permanent sub in a matter of seconds

  5. it’s large missile cutters (soviet classification) / missile corvette (western classification) , not a cruiser

  6. I do enjoy a country without a navy absolutely dominating Russia!

  7. In my non-expert opinion, I’d say this Russian warship received the fucking of a lifetime

  8. I’m sure Russia (as always) will report that the ship successfully intercepted all drones and sustained only minor insignificant damage.

  9. Amazing work!

    Will be interesting to see how the russky propaganda machine spins this sinking.

  10. Top 10 Ukraine war footage for me. We just witnessed a big warship sink up close. Crazy world we’re in now.

  11. That footage is genuinely fucking not only historically insane but also just in general insane. I cannot believe what I just fucking watched, wow. Bravo Ukraine.

  12. Wow this is clear as fuck video. Russia can’t blame this one on a smoking accident.

  13. Country without a navy>>>3rd largest navy in the world

  14. the ship successfully stopped the sea drones by itself, nice work Igor.

    Honestly that was beautiful, perfect mission

  15. I’m waiting for the Russian terrorists to bomb hospitals and schools as retaliation.

  16. Every country needs throw out the book on naval warfare. This shows technology is changing everything in combat.

  17. What they fuck were they shooting at that thing with? Handguns lol. Were the destroyers weapon system disabled?

  18. Russia news: “Ivanovets had a small fire caused by a miswired kettle. Only minor damage and no injuries.”

  19. Holy shit, they hit the fucking magazine it looks like. That ship is gone.

  20. my god….i dont think in the history of naval warfare, has a destroyer been so surgically taken apart. And it was so helpless, all i see is small caliber gunfire at the drone

  21. Good. Because I was already developing a depression from bad news with blocking help in USA and EU

  22. so how many crew is usually on a boat like that? You guys think everyone got taken out by the explosions since we see no life boats or anything?

  23. Crazy footage. This is a massive win for Ukraine. Ukraine will be or already is the worlds most advanced country for sea drones. Lots of inspiration for future war movies as well.

  24. It’s beautiful.

    I’m watching it fifth time on repeat at work with my colleagues and we just can’t stop.

    Hey Russia, i’m pretty sure you can repair this one!

  25. Wow, I was expecting just a single drone’s perspective of the impact, then done. But no, we get to view hit after hit, then its bloody bow sticking out of the water… crazy good footage!

  26. Holy fucking shit, I did not expect that final Titanic-esque shot, wild footage.

  27. Hundreds of military personnel / sailors went down with that ship. Insane footage.

    I was in the US Navy for a while, the Russian sailors were always really cool to us when they pulled into port and we’d trade random shit: cigarettes, CDs, magazines, candy, etc. They were mostly kids / young adults and we were really excited to see one another as it’s like meeting someone from a different world (I really loved the cool little caps they wore). I’m willing to bet that mostly young folks died in this attack.

    I do however hope Ukraine comes out ahead in this conflict.

    War is hell man.

    EDIT: Apparently this ship had a smaller crew of fifty not hundreds. From the video it looked similar in size to a US Naval Cruiser which has a crew of around three hundred.

  28. I can hear Suchomimus jerking it to this video from all the way across the globe.

  29. That last sad boat – nothing more to blow up as the bow sinks below the surface.

  30. I imagine this is what China trying to seize Taiwan would look like x1000. If im Taiwan, I’d be making an absurd amount of sea drones to flood the straight with them.

  31. This is just awesome! And get it all on video is just amazing!😁 good job Ukraine 🇺🇦 💪😁
