It’s looking like a Storm Shadow / Scalp strike has just hit Sevastopol striking multiple targets.

A Russian bmp dragging what looks like a body is hit by a Bradley Tow missile, then is opened up on by the Bradley’s gun.

Turkey is following their protocol correctly, and there would be more impact if they didn't. Hard to complain when they are following their word.

Surely it's in Turkey's own interest to have mines swept throughout that area.

But if you let one country enter the sea, you would have to offer the same to the other side.


i cannot find anything to verify this.

Indeed, I'm surprised they even tried to go that route.
I'm surprised, given their relative small size, they didn't try and route them via the Rhine and Danube rivers to the Black Sea, but I suppose that would have meant Hungary saying yes as well, and given Orban's stance on Ukraine, that wasn't likely an option either.

Russian army destroy HIMARS………or Russian military kill a field, it might be me but I cannot see squat in either fields.
