| Ukraine destroys one of Putin's newly-built warships in daring missile strike in Russian-annexed Crimea in fresh blow to Kremlin warmonger |
| 2023-11-05 |
| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Ukraine has destroyed one of Putin's newly-built warships in a daring missile strike in Russian-annexed Crimea. The downed vessel was named as the newly-built Askold missile ship, one of the most modern in Vladimir Putin's navy. Moscow admitted to losing a ship in an attack by 13 cruise missiles, but did not specify which one. Footage shows the strike hit Butoma shipyard in Kerch, close to Putin's major bridge linking the annexed peninsula to Russia. Since launching its counteroffensive against Moscow's forces this summer, Kyiv has ramped up attacks on the peninsula in a bid to suppress Russia's Black Sea naval fleet. |

| #7 Here's the Russian Black Sea Fleet's losses. I'm sure those will all be replaced by 2024, right, Dale? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F-LBTW-WoAAczj9?format=jpg&name=small |

| #5 The lies are becoming ever more obvious. Dale's just phoning it in. But it's still better than becoming a star in a meat attack video, eh? |

| #2 Kiev warmonger attacked Crimea shipyard, "The statement says 15 missiles($) were fired, 13 of which were destroyed in the air, while one hit a ship. Reuters could not verify the statement. It was also unclear what kind of ship took the hit" I prefer 24 hour wait. Moscow will just build more. In some areas of production they are seeing a seven fold increase over 2022. |

| #1 It was a 200 ft patrol frigate, not even in service yet, sitting in the shipyard. Not likely to ever enter service now. |
