1. Must have been quite the smoking break.

2. Nothing that a hectare of Flex Seal won’t fix.

3. Id like to see a shaped charge on the next UKR drone upgrade to punch a hole through to the other side.

4. That’s a lot of smashed bulkheads and massive internal damage, that blast looks big enough to possibly have shifted the heavy machinery on their mountings and affected the alignment of the prop shafts.

   going to take more than a bit of welding to sort all that out probably easier to scrap her.

5. I like that the russians include photos in their customer satisfaction surveys to the AFU.

6. Interesting. If the engine/propulsion areas were flooded, and it seems they were the propulsion system may be toast.

   Likely the best way to replace them is to cut through the side of the hull and pull out sideways.

   Would be interesting to know what kind of propulsion she has.

   EDIT:
   Wiki on propulsion size is confusing. But she has diesel generators and electric motors.

7. ‘23 Ski-Doo.

8. Nice looking hole!

   Ya just don’t see those often enough in russian naval vessels. Ukraine needs to try harder…..

9. A delightful composition.

   Please, sir, may we have more?

10. Boat guts.
