All the sailors are safe, and it is built inside Russia on the Volga, and can easily be replaced.
Overwhelmed by sea-borne drones apparently;
94m in length, armed with Kinzhals, launched in 2022 - so barely 2 years old.

I will say though that Russia has lost far too many ships in the Black Sea
It's the one area of the war where they've never really gotten on top of things very well.

Ukrainian soldiers are breaking records for dying in significant numbers,
Twice this past week they lost 1400 in a day, what a waste of human life.

Baldrick,

Everything you post is a lie.

7 sailors died on the latest ship added to the Russian submarine fleet.
A new ship can be built for $70m in about 3 years, so practically gone.
you also missed the 2 K52 helicopters destroyed on the ground and the helicopter that went down with the ship.

The last few days have been Russian meat waves attacking strong defences. The 1400 KIA are probably Russians rotting in the fields while the number of defenders lost is about 1/5 of that.

Meanwhile, a major rail bridge at Samara has blown up that was used for military equipment.

There is resistance building up in Russia as the living standards plummet due to Putin's illegal war and several armed resistances against Putin have started. Russia's economy is circling the drain.

The ICJ has issued arrest warrants for Generals responsible for planning attacks on Ukraine civilians.

Russia is losing this war.

Russia is losing this war.

Looks more and more like Trump will win in November.
Wonder how that will change things.

Baldrick,

Even if Trump wins, and it is a big IF as while his support amongst Republican voters is strong, the liberals that hate him and voted him out of office haven't gone away:

1 Trump won't be sworn in until late Jan 2025,
2 There is no guarantee that he won't support Ukraine.
3 Sanctions won't be lifted until Russia retreats from Ukraine and will only get tougher. (ie secondary sanctions and for example sanctions on all food produced by Russia and Belarus.)
4 Weapons from the EU Canada etc are ramping up.

Meanwhile
1 In 2023 Russia's net gained 0.02% of Ukraine for massive losses in soldiers, armoured vehicles, aircraft and ships, faster than they can be replaced.
2 Russia's oil and gas revenues continue to fall,
3 Russia continues to draw down on cash reserves,
4 Russia's inflation is climbing faster than official figures
5 Some provinces / Caucuses are in open revolt against the war.
6 Ukrainian sabotage groups are destroying Russian infrastructure at a rapidly increasing rate.

The question is what state is Russia going to be in by the inauguration of the next president?

Russia is losing this war.
