  1. Ooh what a tragedy!…Imagine the moment 170 kids were killed in cold blood with the most lethal missile by your most loved Friendly country!!..You might start feeling slightly better!! Hypocrates!!

  2. 2 degrees of helm is not a clear and positive change of course as required by COLLREGS. The fact that they subsequently made a further change of course reinforces that view. When dealing with naval vessels you need to be VERY cautious.

  3. Approaching a war ship seems like a dumb thing to do regardless of collision risk. They said themselves the norm to be keeping 1 nautical mile away, so it's nothing to do with collision but wholly about making it clear you are not a threat. I expect the British frigate following the Russian ship would have treated an approaching yacht no differently.

  4. total balls, every english slopaganda chennel leads with warship fires at yacht, making out that a big old warship fired it's big old guns at them, but really they fired hand held firearms. Russia has every right to defend itself from approaching pirates.

  5. Perhaps get that couple in their 60s to get their ears tested?

    The Russian Defence Ministry said the yacht had been on a "dangerous approach" towards the warship, and its crew fired into its path with rifles after making several attempts to contact it over the radio and after launching warning flares.
    It also said its sailors had acted in "strict accordance with international shipping regulations", while the British Ministry of Defence said it was investigating the incident.
    A UK government source told BBC News a couple in their 60s were on board the yacht at the time. They said they did not hear when the Russian frigate sounded its horn. No injuries or damage have been reported.

  6. Oh my God. Look how powerful the UK Royal Starmer Navy are. Ukrainians will just simply swarm it with Drones , Look what happened in St.Petersburg ,Kronsdadt and Crimea. Russian navy warships and subs are blown out left and right , and meanwhile in UK is just utterly demoralizing for the UK Military and its Naval pride. OH Lord. What did the LIberals and Woke leaderships did to Great Britain. They cant even stop the rubber boats.
