My thoughts tonight are with the Turkish coast guards and oil spill response crews who will be on their way to the two burning Russian shadow fleet tankers in the SW Black Sea in order to limit the environmental impact on wildlife. Especially if there are (more) sea mines there.

This boat, now in IWM London, came from a vessel that was attacked by a German naval raider in 1940. The raider's captain ordered his men to fire on survivors in other boats. He was later convicted of war crimes and died in prison.

By all indications, the event in Yasnyy/Dombarovskiy was a failed Sarmat test (links to the full post below). So much for the promise to deploy the first Sarmat in 2025. I wouldn't overdramatize this - stuff happens. And it's not like Russia needs Sarmat. 1/
