You cannot trust any claim that comes out of Russia when it comes to this war. They are trying really hard and failing to cover up that the ship was hit and very likely damaged.

Also it looks like US helped Ukraine find the ship which if true I would consider it "crossing a red line."

Neither side is really interested in the truth.
The only time the truth is told is when it suits the narrative.
This isn't something particular to this war.

It's not always about pride
Assuming the drone did hit the Russian ship. Currently Ukraine may not have any idea on how much damage it caused. That would extremely useful intel for planning the next attack. They possible aren't even sure it exploded after camera fed went dead. Russia is going to do it's utmost not to give Ukraine an opportunity to do battle assessment. It is not in Russia's interests to answer the Ukrainians quest to know how big a hole did their bomb make

Somehow Ukraine is selling an attack on a Russian SIGINT ship which was patrolling to ensure the safety of TurkStream in international waters as if it was a major coup. Before this, their major "win" was an attack on a Russian border crossing outpost. The fact they are attacking targets like these just shows their actual armed forces are in shambles.

It remains to be seen how much will Turkey "enjoy" this attempt by Ukraine to diminish their energy resources. Without Turkey, there will be no grain deal, and a lot of weapons sales to Ukraine will cease.

The only reason these stealth drone boats can even operate in the Black Sea, is because they hide behind commercial ships before getting to the target. If Russia imposes a full blockade of Ukrainian ports these drones will be unable to operate.

I haven't been keeping track of the developments lately, so I have a couple of questions:
1) How's the Ukrainian Counteroffensive™ doing? Have they stormed the gates of Moscow yet?
2) How's the Russian air force doing? Still a non-factor or has it been earning its keep?

1) There's no counteroffensive yet...just some poking attack with no durable results beside twitter post.

2) Ukraine airspace is still a no-fly zone for both countries... anything in the air past 250m have nearly no chances of survival... Standoff weapons are still the best way to go beyond the borders with Russian gliding bombs spreading havocs near the frontlines.

Russian 61st Marine (Naval Infantry formally) Brigade shelling targets all over the left side of the Dniepr with drone spotting.


Ukrainian Osa tried to hide in this warehouse. A Lancet struck the warehouse, and people fled away. A second Lancet struck the warehouse again, and the Osa tries to escape while in flames.
