I think Romania is in the most powerful military alliance ever to exist, so any actual attack on Romania - not a drone landing in a field, but a deliberate attack - would be met with such ridiculous amounts of air power that no one would ever consider attacking them. Have you seen the conventional disparity between NATO and Russia? It's so big a fight between us and them wouldn't be close to a fair fight, and they know this. So no, there is no threat to Romania's border. Attacking Ukraine is one thing, taking on a NATO member is rather ?different.

Do you remember that time the Russians carried out a chemical attack on an English town?
 
Just watched a couple really good videos on Youtube One focusing on the Man, the Myth, the Legend that is Kyrylo Budanov (Ukr Chief of Defence Intelligence).

The second, "The Russian Tank Operators Are AMATEURS" which I will not directly link to due to some less forum friendly footage (Nothing graphic but you can tell some people would not have survived). Its from an Ex-British tank Trp/Sqn/Regt commander put some serious shade on Russian tank tactics and comment on the frankly staggering count on Russian armour losses.

Even if you take 30% off those numbers for the usual over exaggeration in war, its still totally shocking.

The claim of 19 boats sunk would seem to be the easiest to verify? Appreciate they might not all be warships, but still, 19 boats is a lot of boats sunk.

Those numbers are crazy, generally. Hard to believe, in all honesty.

Not sure what they are going to do with it given how badly burnt it was but it's better then letting get captured as Russian trophy I guess.

It was a fuel tank engine strike.

Might actually be repairable if the fire didn't get inside the main compartment.

The question is why didn't the internal fire suppression system go off

Most of the boats are small river boats used to cross the dnipro, both sides have lost several of them - they are basically small blow-up speedboats

Russia has also lost some small carbon fibre hull transport boats and at least one ferry, as well the Moskva missiles cruiser and one large landing ship


The majority of boats both sides have lost look like this

May have already been triggered in the initial strike. I assume the CR2 has a similar firewire system to other armoured vehicles we use. Automatically or manually triggered halon extinguisher, yes they still exist in our armoured fleet, at least they did when I last did my AVSO's (an annual qualification required to operate armoured vehicles) about 3 years ago.
