And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Missile firing by cruiser Pyotr Veliky of the Russian Northern Fleet.
Ghostsniper, you remind me of the guy who gets jerked off of his barstool, dragged into the back alley and has the shit kicked out of him because everybody was tired of his bullshit.
Nothing but officers involved, including admirals, for what should be a routine training launch of a proven weapons system. Typical Russian "the ratings are too incompetent to trust with anything" top-heavy management. This is why they fail. On a US Navy ship, the chiefs and LPOs could have run that launch, with all the officers dead in their bunks.
One of the guys with three stars was a senior warrant officer. Another guy with three stars was an admiral, probably the Northern Fleet commander. To Aesop's point, yes, it's amazingly top-heavy.
Russian's been building some mighty fine war ships and ice breakers since Putin has been in charge. They have an entirely different naval tac-strat than NATO, different requirements, diff threats etc, so its hard to make apples to apples comparisons. Their advanced state of missile tech is driving much of the new "project #'s" as they call new builds. They build in do many tubes cause doctrine gor missile launches against incoming threats requires two launches in a single salvo, just their tac-strat style of naval warfare.
And then Ukraine put all that to shame with a couple missiles, 5 drones, 3 teenagers and a couple hundred pounds of explosives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_warfare_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine
Launch is of an SS-N-19 (P700 Granit) antiship cruise missile. Supersonic. Also armament on OSCAR class Russian subs. Salvage of Kursk was done to ensure recovery of its P700 missiles.

ReplyDeleteTo my brother submariners, I remember how cold the waters were and I hope you got good intel. Maintain your bubble.
ReplyDeleteLikely on its way to kill Ukrainian children.
ReplyDeleteToo bad it didn't kill your parents children before they went online and turned into silly asses.
DeleteIf you find yourself arguing for the murder of children you may be on the wrong side. Just saying
DeleteProbably not headed to Ukraine. A shot from the Murmansk-based Northern Fleet would have to fly over a whole lot of Russia to get to Ukraine.

ReplyDeleteShocking lack of diversity on that bridge.

Thought it might be a homing missile.
