1. They seem to be drone boats armed with AIM-9 sidewinders

   The AIM-9 date from the 1960s, the SU-30s from the 1980s

   although these are probably more modern AIM-9 with improved electronics

3. It’s even funnier the second time

4. Andrei, you’ve lost another ~~submarine~~ SU-30?

5. 1000 points to Griffindor!

6. Slava Ukraine!

7. Bravó! Slava Ukraine!

8. Is this the second one already reported yesterday, which was also in the losses report this morning? Or is it a third one and the second one downed by a maritime drone?

9. HLC! DO YOUR THING!

10. Always impressed by the creativity of the Ukrainians. Those retro-fitted boats are shooting down Russia’s workhorse down with missiles first sold in 1983

11. Fuck them up
