That looks like a ricochet to me ? Bounces off the water right by the ship then bounces off ship and gives the impression of exploding . 3-4 more rounds after the explosion seem to come from the same gun across the harbour but get lobbed way high

I’m always intrigued why folks with military experience always think they’d be better at foreign policy than anyone else in the room.

Banging in some nails doesn’t make you a carpenter, and carpenters can’t design a cathedral.

Not a perfect analogy, but ya gotta be able to demonstrate relevant prior experience before you’re in charge of big projects.

The other relevant point: military personnel have never ended a war.

Even in the case of defeat to the point of national collapse, the leaders of one state have to settle terms of peace with the other state.

It certainly is. I was just reading about the 15 wounded survivors of a much larger group, who weren't getting paid at all and were instead told their 4-month contract was being extended until the end of time. They said fuckit and went home.

Their perspective at the time, for all but high ranking officers (and a lot of them too), is through the soda-straw of what was in their direct view

im always amazed that some people think all service and ex servicemen are all alike

 

[phill_nz]

i am going out on a limb and calling that one a possible own goal
the missile looks like it was launched from the same direction as some others then on it's flight locked onto something but in very un-rushtard form actually hit it and did some damage

some of the early stuff looks like it was pointed down .. maybe a combined air and surface drone attack again

whatever way you look at it thats a lot of defense missiles for not many bangs
or to put it another way
one or two shitty 10k drones just took out 20 odd very expensive missiles

They're just the latest major perpetrators of crimes against humanity from those 2 pariah countries.

That's a good thing, as both the U20 and the World Championship will be in then maybe NATO Sweden. I can foresee the IIHF and the IOC disagreeing on having Russia and Belarus in the 2026 Olympics in Milan/Cortina.

Veterans know that wars get your best friends blown into red mist and chunks of meat.

This tempers one’s views.
