Does anyone recall seeing ramacca posts on anything but Ukraine? Why would you target a (albeit it award winning apparently) football forum in a thread with presumably has interest from tens of people rather than hundreds?
Also you can tell when there's no kev or ramacca posts as the thread goes relatively quiet If I was a Russian troll bot, I would post only when there is activity in the thread and rarely so as to not completely alienate those you want to influence.
Or maybe it's just 100%-everywhere-and-post-as-much-as-you-can in a propaganda meat grinder that works.
Anyway back to tyrants sacrificing the lives of their people to kill and destroy their neighbours for some temporary reason that don't ultimately matter and benefit no one.

It's an attack of some description, but as far as I can make out they were two small landing craft and they weren't destroyed just damaged.
I said a few days back that this is all that the Ukrainians seems to have now: drone and missile attacks now and then on Crimea and the Russian Navy. The ground war is lost.

The Russian military command will likely struggle to redeploy combat-effective reinforcements to respond to ongoing Ukrainian operations in eastern Kherson Oblast while conducting defensive operations in western Zaporizhia Oblast and sustaining other offensive efforts in eastern Ukraine. Russian milbloggers claimed on November 9 that Ukrainian forces established control over new positions in Krynky (30km northeast of Kherson City and 2km from the Dnipro River) and conducted assaults towards Russian positions south and southwest of the settlement.[1] A Russian milblogger claimed that there are reports that Ukrainian forces advanced to forest areas south of Krynky.[2] Russian milbloggers claimed that Ukrainian forces also attacked near Poyma (12km east of Kherson City and 4km from the Dnipro River), Pishchanivka (13km east of Kherson City and 3km from the Dnipro River), and Pidstepne (17km east of Kherson City and 4km from the Dnipro River) and are trying to establish positions between Pidstepne and Kozachi Laheri (23km northeast of Kherson City and 2km from the Dnipro River).[3] Ukrainian military observer Konstyantyn Mashovets stated that Ukrainian forces have established continuous control of positions from the Antonivsky railway bridge north of Poyma to the Antonivsky roadway bridge north of Oleshky (7km south of Kherson and 4km from the Dnipro River) as of November 9 and have cut the Oleshky-Nova Kakhovka (53km northeast of Kherson City) road in at least two areas.[4]
Elements of the Russian 18th Combined Arms Army’s (CAA) 22nd Army Corps (formerly of the Black Sea Fleet) and 70th Motorized Rifle Division as well as the 177th Naval Infantry Regiment (Caspian Flotilla) appear to be the main Russian forces responding to Ukrainian ground operations on the east bank of Kherson Oblast.[5] The Russian military reportedly formed the 18th CAA from other units previously operating in the Kherson direction, and it is unlikely that new units of the 18th CAA are comprised of fresh forces or staffed to doctrinal end strength.[6] Elements of the 177th Naval Infantry Regiment previously defended positions in western Zaporizhia Oblast for almost the entirety of the Ukrainian counteroffensive and have likely suffered significant casualties.[7] The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) stated on November 5 that unspecified elements of the 7th Guards Airborne (VDV) Division are operating in the Kherson direction, although the bulk of the 7th VDV Division appears to be committed to defensive operations in western Zaporizhia Oblast.[8] Mashovets claimed on November 2 and 9 that elements of the 7th VDV Division's 171st Air Assault Battalion (97th VDV Regiment) are operating near Pishchanivka and Poyma, but it is unclear if these reported elements have been present in the Kherson direction since the start of the counteroffensive or recently redeployed to the area.[9] Elements of the 49th CAA (Southern Military District) have reportedly been operating in the Kherson direction since the Ukrainian liberation of Kherson City in November 2022, but some Russian and Ukrainian sources claim that the Russian command has since redeployed elements of at least one its brigades to the Zaporizhia-Donetsk Oblast border area.[10] Mashovets claimed that elements of the 49th CAA still comprise the Russian “Dnepr” Grouping of Forces in the Kherson direction, and elements of the 49th CAA’s 205th Motorized Rifle Brigade appeared to be operating on the left bank as of late August 2023.[11]
The Russian command will likely face significant challenges in redeploying units from other sectors of the front should relatively combat-ineffective Russian formations and currently uncommitted Russian forces in the Kherson direction prove insufficient to respond to the Ukrainian operations on the east bank of the Dnipro. Redeployments of considerable elements of the 7th VDV Division or other VDV formations and units in western Zaporizhia Oblast would likely disrupt Russian defensive operations there. Russian forces reportedly continue to accumulate forces for sustaining the Russian offensive effort near Avdiivka and localized offensive operations in Kharkiv and Luhansk oblasts.[12] Any potential Russian redeployment to the Kherson direction will likely degrade the Russian ability to sustain these other operations and efforts.

Aren't drones and missile attacks the predominant military options for most sides?
We have unfortunately seen it all too much recently in far too many places.

It seems like we've reached the point where both sides are reeling, and unable to fully exploit the opposition's weaknesses. Probably why they're both scrambling like mad for munitions.

I thought Russia was a parish state. Someone should have told the journalist that the US Empire is fueling Putin's war machine by buying uranium, other precious metals and oil. No doubt the top topic behind the scenes from the US, will be how the Russians can help them save face over the US/NATO defeat in Ukraine.
Is English your first language? The word is 'pariah'.
A parish is where a vicar hangs out.
Maybe take a moment to proofread the propaganda before rushing to spam it?

The US built the SR-71 by purchasing titanium from the Soviet Union through shell companies. There's nothing unusual about this throughout history. If there are no substitutes, one deals with the devil.
Congress banned crude oil imports from Russia, but left a loophole that permits the purchase of products refined from Russian crude provided the refining is done elsewhere. In case you haven't noticed, Congress has rather a bit of difficulty getting anything done at the moment, which is why the loophole remains open.
