> The GUR successfully disabled another Russian warship. The Baltic Fleet minesweeper “Aleksandr Obukhov”, based in the city of Baltiysk, was damaged during a special operation. After water entered the engine, it’s now in for expensive and complex repairs. This is the 2nd Russian ship disabled by Ukraine in the past 6 months.

If an engine ingests saltwater, it pretty much needs to be replaced. It happened to a friends diesel engine. Miserable stuff. 😬!
Salva Ukraine 🇺🇦

Finally something different for the daily tally chart – tanks are old coldness, naval vessels are the new hotness!
Hey bot, what happened to the Russian minelayingship?

Has the Kremlin considered just staying away from water? They don’t have good luck on it, under it, or using it to put out fires.
Sure sign it be not for them and must be against them.

I guess they ran out of naval targets in the Black Sea, so had to go abroad to find more. Good work!
Even if this ship being out of action doesn’t directly impact the war, actions like this forces the enemy to maintain more of a security presence at home rather than send everything against Ukraine.

“Due to shortage of sea capable ships, the crew of Aleksandr Obukhob will be transered to the frontline to support the 3-Day-Special-Military-Operatons and join our comrades. All according to plan!”

Black Sea fleet is demolished. Time to work on the Baltic fleet.
