[Colombamike]

Update news:
- Russian warship Project 22160 patrol ship "Vasily Bykov", reportedly hit by Ukrainian MLRS off the coast of Odessa.
- Ukrainian patrol boat ''Sloviansk'' has been sunk by a missile. This was announced by the mayor of Yuzhne. Sloviansk (P190) is an Island-class patrol boat of the Naval Forces of Armed Forces of Ukraine. Originally named USCGC Cushing when in service with the US Coast Guard.

- Estonian freighter sink after hitting a mine off the coast of Ukraine near Odessa

- Photos online of Russian Rosgvardia troops in the port of Berdyansk
- Ukrainian rescue & salvage vessel Saphire (Сапфир) siezed off Snake Island by Russian Navy a few days ago - now pictured impounded in Sevastapol. Alongside patrol vessel Dmitry Rogachev - sister of Vasily Bykov apparently sunk last week => Ukrainian military reportedly hit the Russian Navy stealth corvette "Vasily Bykov" with... get this... MLRS 12km from shore in Black Sea.

- Some videos/claims about russian FFG frigate project 11356R ("Admiral's series") firing rockets (ASW rockets used for shore-bombardment ?) toward Ukraine (? airfield in Lozovatka in the Dnipropetrovsk region ?)

? Rumors or Reality (to be confirmed ) ? :
- A Russian pow has claimed 600 marines mutinied & refused to leave their landing craft in Odessa. About 600 sailors from Russia mutinied, refusing to land to fight in the Odessa region of Ukraine. Russian young marine conscripts staged a riot against landing in Odessa.
- I had heard some earliest web-online rumors of 80 russian-sailors (onboard russians warships, not landing-ships) refusing to attack ukraine, which caused the return to sevastopol of some russians units around 26 february-10 march, to be confirmed ?

(Ukrainian troops in Luhansk region have managed to intercept a Tochka-U missile… with a FIM-92 Stinger.
This is confirmed.)

They did not, this is just a Toczka-U rocket booster. They crash after they deliver the warhead (that is clearly not there on photos), many of boosters drop on ground there after they burn out fuel. Some are in better or worst shape after such landing.

Recent news report a series of explosions in Odessa, Ukraine. Russia claimed it’s missiles struck an oil refinery and storage facility.

Dead bodies are discovered in Bucha, Ukraine (and likely other cities), after Russian troops retreated from said town.

Found this on Facebook...lyrics are by someone named Andrej:

I am the very model of a Russian Major General.
My standing on the battlefield is growing quite untenable.
My forces, though equipped and given orders unequivocal,
did not expect the fighting to be remotely this reciprocal.

I used to have a tank brigade but now I have lost several.
My fresh assaults are faltering with battleplans extemporal.
I can't recover vehicles but farmers in a tractor can.
It's all becoming rather reminiscent of Afghanistan.

My ordnance is the best but only half my missiles make it there.
I would have thought by now that we would be controllers of the air.
But at the rate the snipers work my time here is ephemeral.
I am the very model of a Russian Major General.

Borodyanka, Ukraine was discovered to have more bodies than in Bucha.

A Russian missile hit a train station used to evacuate victims from the war.
