Could be a coincidental breakdown of ship post drone non-boomski, could be recycled old footage, could be something else. No doubt we'll learn more in the next couple of days. |

To add to this, at the time of attack the ship wasn't moving and was stationary. And had been there for quite awhile. The drone also looked to have a glancing blow instead of head on attack..the fuses (3) are all nose forward. But if it did not explode on contact then they (ukraine) edited that out of the footage they released. |

Absurd situation in Donetsk: 🟢 8:45 - 6 HIMARS missiles arrive at the Donetsk Research Center on the location of the Russians. 🟢 9:00 - Rusnya publishes photos of the shelling, thereby correcting the blow. 🟢 10:00 - 5 HIMARS rockets arrive at the same building again View Quote Video of first strike while on live TV. https://twitter.com/PStyle0ne1/status/1662004605004161024 |

Looks like the drone exploded alongside. I think you can see the other drone exploding further away, from the gunfire shown by the Russian mod.
A Russian Navy rescue ship is now transporting the stricken ship to Novorossiysk. The minimum speed is 0.8 knots per hour, which once again confirms the serious damage. View Quote |
