Sanctions haven’t sidelined Russia’s shadow fleet. So Ukraine has turned to drones

1. The only sanctions that work

2. Kinetic sanctions,they are the best!

3. Though I stand with Ukraine, I still hope they will be held responsible for the ecologic disaster, they might cause.

4. About time to sink them all. A disaster for nature, but I war always is.

5. This was a clever move by the Ukrainians.

   Look where they hit the tanker. These tankers have double bottoms so that if the hull is breached the inner hull, the cargo tank, is protected. First it would be harder to disable the vessel with an amidships hit and if they did it could easily create a major oil spill pissing off many including Turkey.

   Instead they hit the aft quarters near the machinery spaces and shaft alley. Damage here disables the ship and forces Russia to do something about the hulk. So they need to send out tugs, which are now vulnerable, and tow the hulk to a repair facility, which is a limited resource. So this strike takes out 2 vessels, the target and the ship that now can not get repaired or built.

   And it messes with Russias oil transport.

6. OK, Ukraine has demonstrated that “active sanctions” work in the Black Sea. Now one or more of the NATO nations around the Baltic Sea need to invite the Ukrainian Navy to come and visit, just to demonstrate this modern technology.

7. Legitimate targets, every last one of them.

8. UA attacked civilian ships as an answer for deleting their military.
