This was posted elsewhere but it’s relevant to mention the US already stated it would sell inferior versions of jets. Im sure these countries realised the current US mentality of “why stop there” and will probably cost cut further - lesser quality munitions and firearms, land vehicles, specialty fuels, etc.

Also in the face of tariffs and regular insults, being less inclined to purchase from someone increasingly hostile to them. This isn’t “out of the blue”, it’s the response step.

Criticized once. dies

I can hear this with the pause and everything.

Mourn the loss of historical vehicles, but blame the people who threw them to be destroyed.

“The game”

“So a guy asking how not to shit for a weekend was funny for a whole month?”

When you put it that way we sound weird!

So there’s this kid and it’s about a heist parody…wait let me start over. Theres this show with a smart old guy and a kid, kinda like back to the future, but like…

What a very specific grade you would list, as there’s a brand that sells exclusively plat grade

I am incapable of joining a community and not asking where the memes-and-shitposting is. Just how it is, news and memes for me, thanks.

Preferably a section with memes about news too so I can see news I missed from other parts of the world! MR. WORLDWIDE

Weird, I’ve never been hit up by Nicole, or their friends. Not that I want to, they sound exhausting to put up with

What happened over there?

I loved that the first mass meme of the rexodus was “how to not shit for 3 days”

You mean, your friend thanks me…right?

“accidentally” called them Unmoderated

I can’t speak for quantity or quality, but that’s where it is.

This specific ship probably was not have been involved in those, but one like it would be. If you’re going to break something you need to know where it is. The link I found shows 5 total converted vessels like this in the Black Sea Fleet alone (They’re listed as Project 861M)

I stated she’s not alone because she only has a single SAM battery, and low top speed/fuel reserves. Something like this needs a refueler and protection escort, even if it’s a destroyer or 2.

Did a bit of digging, this is “Intelligence Ship Kilden” not a converted or re-activated Kilden Class destroyer (none of which were named Kilden, and all were deactivated by 1991). The ship is converted from a Hydrographic survey vessel (1970), outfitted with 16 “Strela” SAM missiles. Given her 30 day endurance and less than 10k nautical miles range, she was not out here alone - and suspiciously there’s been a lot of underwater stuff broken in the recent years - the kind of thing a hydrographic ship would be great at locating.

She’s powered by 4 diesel generators feeding 2 1800hp engines, so “thick black smoke coming from the funnel” means she probably blew an engine, and damaged the other for the moment, with no power to her screws (resulting in the Loss of Control signal) and as a result was “sacrificial lamb’d” by her surface complement in case of discovery. If they get the engine(s) back up and running, she will probably be rejoined by a conveniently close escort of some kind “to ensure she makes it back to port safely”.
