My guess is Russia will go for a massive missile strike again on either Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day.

Purely to be as cuntish as possible.

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if the missile strikes somehow cause the Russian ships to sink.

One can only hope

Ukraine has several donated Harpoon and native Neptune missile batteries on the coast so they might be in for a surprise if they get too close.

It's been hours since a vessel above 10000 t has caught fire, we're definetly overdue. It's really too bad Ukraine didn't get any major vessels post USSR they would be sitting ducks if Ukraine had a couple of fast well maintained destroyers. The Russian navy can't go past 15 knots. Some good old fashioned main gun duels.

Did you know that Ukraine actually scuttled their ships early in the war. When they never even lost that port...

Did you know that Russia lost a capital ship in a war against a country that doesn’t have a navy

Yep. I do think it sucks that the reason they don't have a navy is Ukraine destroyed it themselves. Those first few days were wild.

Yep, Ukraine was scrambling at beginning of invasion and surprisingly militias were massive MVP, by punching above it's weight giving chance for army to organise. Ukrainian Navy on the other hand, failed badly.

They have to get the news cycle back from Zelensky's visit to the States. So shit sandwich on civilians incoming.

The only Russian navy activity I enjoy hearing about is returning to home port or sinking.

Or catching fire in dry dock

or sinking that very same dry dock.

Sinking in a dry dock is an impressive feat considering it's a DRY dock.

Dry docks can be drained/flooded intentionally, and in some cases can float.

That being said, sinking one while it's servicing your only carrier of still pretty impressive, and the world will not Russia forget it...

Your in luck, because they are “Gillian’s Island” of naval fleets. I’m sure more zany adventures are headed our way.

Would be nice if the west donates a few hundred long-range anti-ship missiles

Perhaps an attack on Crimea from Ukraine? I don't think Russia would waste what's left of their sea based armament on another useless missile attack. Especially with those anti ship batteries now waiting in the shadows. The juice simply isn't worth the squeeze for a Christmas day message. It would be more likely that they would be used to shore up defenses on the peninsula and act to some degree as a shield for Russian forces/ emergency egress option.

Then again Russia has been gearing up for another run on kyiv. It would be allot sooner than expected

Ship movement combined with the tanks gathering in the east is telegraphing another offensive attempt by RU, sadly.

Why can't they take the Neptune's out a few miles in a little dingy late at night and extend their range?

I guess the navy is bored not being involved

These are ducks in the center of very hostile lake.

The Ukrainians continue to improve their drone capabilities which mean these will be targeted. Not necessarily for their strategic but their news, moral value.

Time to launch more drones and Vulcan missiles

Attacks in the New Year. North, East, and South from sea. If Ukraine can withstand this, bye bye Putin.
