Breaking news, so not much to go on at the moment. I've seen both parties encroach the orther parties airspace/waters before, but can't recall shots fired.

Interesting.

Uk ship entering Crimean waters, which internationally is still recognised as Ukraine but Russia took exception.

2 Missiles? and four bombs dropped? Sounds a touch extreme.

 

[jsmoke]

Shouldn't be going in there, prodding the bear.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Wait, we still have a Navy? Why aren’t they patrolling the channel?

 

[watercooledman]

is this where the emergency test fits in

They prod ours, such as reconnaissance of our new air craft carrier.

The UK prefer to mess about abraod than actually sort out problems here.

What a waste of four bombs

 

[Lysander]

I bet nothing happens.

 

[The Running Man]

I bet nothing happens.

Something already has happened?

 

[Lysander]

Something already has happened?

Russia trying to look strong.

4 dumb bombs dropoed by some cold war relic.

Really threating.

 

[willhub]

We can't go to war with Russia they'll turn us into Vodka.

 

[R.P.L]

Standard willy waving probably.

Ministry of Defence twitter reply to the incident (https://twitter.com/DefenceHQPress/status/1407670812262518785):

No warning shots have been fired at HMS Defender. The Royal Navy ship is conducting innocent passage through Ukrainian territorial waters in accordance with international law.

We believe the Russians were undertaking a gunnery exercise in the Black Sea and provided the maritime community with prior-warning of their activity. No shots were directed at HMS Defender and we do not recognise the claim that bombs were dropped in her path.

That is some juicy troll response.

 

[nutsnut]

That is an amazing Troll post,

Russia always have submarines and shops in our waters, time for a taste of their own medicine? We'll conduct some training drills in the North Sea.

 

[StriderX]

Don't know why Russia didn't just sink it since it's not like we have many ships to spare.

 

[Hades]

Well someone's lying but which side is it? Dun, dun duuuuuun!
