The use of social media, tapping into fear and appealing to emotions is much more effective than real data or science.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Interesting point of view on that outrageous statement from yesterday-think he was trolling his "boss"?
With the warhead size on a harpoon that'd take multiple hits. Definitely could disrupt traffic but not sure they could bring it down.
What are you referring to?
If people had listened to "real data or science" 20+ years ago, Germany wouldn't be reliant on Russian gas right now. And most of the Western world would have far more resilient and widespread carbon-neutral energy sources.
There is an air launched version of the Harpoon for attacking land targets, but that is a different missile than the ones we’ve been sending for coastal defense.
I also don’t think you could just strap one of those to a Fulcrum or Frogfoot and fire it at the Kerch bridge either.
I wonder if one of those robot ships that the US has given Ukraine could get close enough to either launch or explode in an important location.
“It has a wide variety of roles that unmanned surface systems can play, from helping Ukraine monitor surveillance further and further away from its coastline, to potentially assisting in the targeting of Russian ships, when Russia leaves.” To help clear Ukrainian waterways of mines. That route,” said Peter W. Singer, a military technology expert and author of Ghost Fleet, a novel involving the USV and other robotic systems.
Brian Clark, director of the Center for Defense Concepts and Technology at the Hudson Institute, said the ones sent to Ukraine are designed for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and countermine operations.
“But I wouldn’t be surprised if Ukrainians, once they start using them, think of ways to put deadly payloads on them,” he said. “Once they’ve got them, Ukrainians can choose to equip them however they want. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ukrainians include, you know, maybe some weapon systems out there. be present if they wish to use them to attack Russian ships.
Such weapons could potentially include small missiles that are essentially “guided rockets” or machine guns. Alternatively, Ukrainians could load boats with explosives and ram them into Russian ships like al-Qaeda operatives did to the USS Cole in 2000, he said."

Hell, send a submarine into the black sea. Coordinate with Ukraine for them to launch a large missile strike and also strike the bridge to Crimea with the submarine at the same time, then slip out undetected. Let Ukraine claim the full attack as their own.
Who knows if that's possible, but an idea.

Word has just been received that the Italian presenter was accidentally killed when impaled by his stick pointer.
"Donbas is just an excuse! You want to take half of - the Italian TV presenter exposed the Russian Federation propagandist Solovyov during a live broadcast."
"Donbas is just an excuse! You want to take half of - the Italian TV presenter exposed the Russian Federation propagandist Solovyov during a live broadcast."
"On May 27, the media wrote that in the Bryansk region, on the border with Ukraine, members of the FSB border service were killed. A video of the destruction of Russian security forces using the Switchblade kamikaze drone appeared on the network"
"Video shot from the port of #Baltimora ( #USA ) on 6 July. Several large transport ships of the US naval lifting command are seen, probably carrying patrol boats (18 tot.) And other supplies to #Ucraina ."
'"video from the "KAMAZ Center" of #Donetsk , where there was a Russian ammunition depot, after being hit 3 days ago by Ukrainian bombings."
Local and municipal regulations to get access to that thing would indeed be a nightmare...
😉
Looks like it would take a full out bombing raid, and I don't think Ukraine has the capacity to do that.
Includes 4 more HIMARs. Now up to 12 and counting.
Are we finally taking the gloves off of Ukraine-hope so.
