   The [Samum](https://www.businessinsider.com/experimental-sea-drone-used-hit-russia-missile-ship-ukraine-crimea-2023-9?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com) triggered one of the mines in September, the paper reported. At the time, intelligence sources briefed [Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-sea-drone-damages-small-russian-missile-ship-kyiv-source-2023-09-15/) and [Ukrainan media](https://nv.ua/ukr/ukraine/events/morskoy-dron-sbu-podbil-rossiyskiy-raketnyy-korabl-samum-istochniki-nv-50353785.html) that it had been struck by a Sea Baby drone.

   >A month later, the Pavel Derzhavin was [damaged by an explosion](https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-russia-ship-damaged-sea-baby-drone-strain-dry-docks-2023-10?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com), attributed to a Sea Baby by unnamed SBU sources.

   >Two days later, the vessel headed out of Sevastopol for repairs — only to be struck again, this time by one of Lukashevych’s mines, the Journal reported.

   >The tugboat that was sent to rescue it also hit a mine, according to the outlet.

2. Ukraine with no Navy sunk 1/3 of Russia’s Black Sea fleet.

   On land, Russia suffers 3x to 5x losses in soldiers more than Ukraine.

   Putin made this trap himself. He cannot withdraw because his own people will kill him. He will carry on until Russia completely collapses. It almost collapsed with the Wagner mutiny.

   Biggest military blunder since WW2.

   Idiot Putin went groveling to Kim Jung Un. How fucking embarrassing for Russians.
