  2. lol, thats a shitload of useful metal in the bottom of the sea

  4. I wonder what made it sink.

    This feels like the shipping version of falling out of a window or a smoking accident

  9. Spanish authorities have officially confirmed that the Russian cargo ship MV Ursa Major has sunk.

    The vessel sank during the night, mariners in the area are advised to keep an eye on the wreckage. Geolocation 36.463889, -0.895555

  10. If it’s full of oil, I hate seeing it happen. If it’s full of equipment worth hauling from Syria, great news and repeat please.

  11. Russians are the best contributors for coral reefs in the past years

  12. News reports stated that it had left St. Petersburg and was on its way to Vladivostok though.

  14. “Carrying Russian equipment from Syria” is the icing on the cake

  15. Med looks nice for this time of year, guess the crew hadn’t had a holiday and this was a quick way to enjoy that crisp, clean water…

  16. It will be reported on Russian state TV ” due to extreme sea conditions “.

  17. Unfortunately as I know it was on its way to Syria to load on the ruSSian military equipment

  19. Wtf are they doing with these piles of metal? No Russian ship should be allowed to sail close to Europe.
    This amounts to actively damaging Nature by sinking scrap metal filled with oil.
    Fuck the dictatorship RuZZia.

  22. All together: “,,,WE ALL LIVE IN A RUSSIAN SUBMARINE… !!!

  23. Pity we couldn’t help Ukraine deploy a few Seababies in the Med.

  24. Maybe the are trying to hide underwater their military equipment from predators… ;o)

  26. It wasn’t. It was on the route to Syria from Baltics.

  28. Its self sabotage, the ship was probably caring items that they dident want the US to get there hands on

  31. Typical Russians, don’t even know how to operate a ship above water

  32. This is the data according to marine traffic (coming from St. Petersburg):
    [https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:366234/mmsi:273396130/imo:9538892/vessel:URSA_MAJOR](https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:366234/mmsi:273396130/imo:9538892/vessel:URSA_MAJOR)

    It was going into the Mediterranean. On 2024-12-23 1PM UTC, it was past Morocco near Oran/Algeria.
    So the post title seems to be false.
    It was heading towards Syria and not coming from Syria with equipment (at least on this trip).

  34. The weather seems perfectly fine …is the lack of maintenance catching up on them or is it sabotage

  35. most of the inventory got probably sold to terrorists. how fortunate for this “accident” for those responsible.

  37. Its only sad because of the willife. Let the russian drown.

  38. The Mediterranean Sea is one of the calmest sea’s & it looks like a perfect day

    I’d imagine it’s full of soldiers trying to get the fuck out of dodge & has an S/400 & lots of other expensive tech they can’t replace

    So this is a huge win, we won’t know how many truly end up going MIA over this but you would have to everyone just wanted to get the fuck out of Syria I’d say it was full

    Let’s hope the rest of them do the same once they get into the Atlantic because if they can’t handle the Mediterranean there is no way they can go out into the Atlantic

    Sanctions take time but man Russia is really falling apart the last few months badly , lots of careless smoking & even exploding scooters.. I think 2025 is going to be the worst year 100 times over, But

    I’ll take this is a great early Christmas Gift!

  40. I could watch russian ships go down all day long 👍🏻

  41. It would be great if these cavemen would stop polluting waters with their dogshit mothballed equipment. What a failure of a state.

  42. Captain of ship calls Mayday: Mayday Mayday
    Voice from the Germans: Mayday Mayday.
    Voice from the ship: We are sinking!
    Voice from the Germans: Tell me what you are sinking about

  43. Well, all that iron will help algae to grow in a diffuse gradual way, helping to offset global warming.
