Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Once they confirm which boat it was, I'll mark it off
You already have. It's the one that was previously hit by storm shadow in dry dock. They did some repairs, refloated it, and then the Ukrainians hit it again.
HA thank you for the info
"And Russia's internal security service, the FSB, recently said it foiled a Ukrainian plot to destroy its last remaining aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov. The ship, launched in 1985, has been undergoing repairs since 2018."
I hope Ukraine can still make this happen. That would a be huge win, even if the carrier is never functional and isn't in the black sea. Imagine if Russia no longer even had a carrier. That'd be one way to put them in their place.
I have a friend who actually was serving on this aircraft carrier. It's hell and the crew was dis moraled due to lack of basic needs like towels and working bathrooms.
Sunking Admiral Kuznetsov would look like destroying mental asylum for depressed patients
I've heard it's a bit like a labyrinth where nobody even has up-to-date schematics of the passages on the ship, and a lot of spaces are just sealed and conserved. And it stinks everywhere.
All Ukraine has to do is nothing. The Kuznetsov has about a 75% chance of sinking every time it puts to sea
My understanding is that Russias maintenance cost on that carrier is so much higher than its capabilities that Russia is trying to bait Ukraine into expending resources attacking it.
So hit the docks and maintenance facilities it's at, not it itself
I’m grateful it wasn’t a nuclear sub.
.......wait, what? Its hard to tell from context.
Are you saying you're glad that at least russia still has it's nuclear sub?
Or are you saying you're glad that russia wasn't attempting to use a nuclear sub?
Wat. Seems a much more reasonable read is that they are grateful a Russian nuclear sub isn't contaminating the entire area right now
What the other guy said. I don’t support Russia, but nuclear fallout is bad for everybody. Underwater nuclear explosion would be more contained than in the air, but I don’t wanna see radioactive fish with three eyes.
Destroying a nuclear sub, or a nuclear weapon, doesn't lead to a nuclear explosion. It takes considerable care to cause a nuclear explosion, and smashing a reactor or warhead just leaves you with a pile of radioactive scrap.
Not saying that isn't a problem, but it's way less of a problem than a nuclear explosion
I guess they mean that they are happy it wasn't a nuclear-powered sub because of the environmental damages the release of radioactive material might cause.
If this is true then its so magnificent, a second submarine sunk by a country without a navy...
Hey turkie just made them a new boat!

Yay ! Slava Ukraine!
It's not the second one, it's the same one that had been heavily damaged by a Storm Shadow missile in 2023 and had been in dry dock undergoing repairs ever since. This hit probably finished the job for good.
Gimli on sinking the submarine of Theseus: That still only counts as one
Rare Turkey W
Ah bummer, well nice anyways! Thanks for the info!
A target so nice they sunk it twice
Submarine violent decommission and conversion into reef successful.
Slava Ukraini!
The Ukrainian underwater biome restoration project is way ahead of schedule. So nice of the Russians to donate so much equipment.
