So with that Corvette gone they are down to two in the Black Sea region, as one was lost in Sevastopol as well. Considering Ukraine does not have a Navy as such, Russia isn't fairing well in all things Nautical.

Russia testing an installed Fagot ATGM on a drone, it doesn't look very stable so aiming it will be a bitch, I wonder if that is why they are test firing on the ground as well.

Errrmmm, I take it this is laying a smoke screen to drift towards the Ukrainian lines.

What puzzles me is how UKA could know that RuA would use such an expensive missile ? Since this decoy was within 10 km of the border they could have used a Lancet drone and that would have been a big minus to UKA comparing the cost of the very expensive decoy to a cheap drone.
I only see the jet-exhaust of the missile for a second or two.

Another ship is burning 80km south of Crimea according the Crimean Wind Telegram channel.
Russians travel with transponders off, so we can't yet confirm which ship it is.

They are a bit more than that, these days with drones and their optics they have to be able to fool the enemy into a launch, here is one of the decoys close up.
