It gets better every time it happens!

I wonder at what point do they lose the ability to keep water-based vessels/bombs away from the Kerch bridge.

[-] Muscle_Meteor@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 8 months ago

I suspect the problem there is range, transmission range, and or payload.

If they can weaken the Russian black sea fleet enough they might be able to pull off some more complex operations in the future.

I hope they blow it up soon, and that its caught in 4k.

well, this thing was patrol ship, meaning it was supposed to keep these drones at bay. maybe when the patrol ships are disabled or at least not there it will be possible to break down a piece of bridge

Well, I guess it did its job? Lol

No one said how long it was supposed to do it for

Holy cow, how much explosives are on those drones?

[-] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 12 points 8 months ago

320kg or 705lbs

For comparison, the current US torpedo has a 293 kg warhead, though it probably explodes at a more damaging place (underneath the ship).

i suspect they hit ammo stores (magazine). The drones seemed to all go for the same area.

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 8 months ago
