Well, there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that frigates aren’t safe.

You don’t have to make this stuff up.

Srs tho, if the russian navy is escorting oil tankers, how is it possibly considered a “dark fleet”? Is that about as official as it gets?

Britain should tow it to a Ukrainian controlled port.

Nuke it Reco!

This is the ship that fired at a sailboat with a pair of seniors on it in the English channel. Great Briton should impound the ship and arrest the crew for endangerment.

It’s pretty funny watching the Russian Navy categorically fail at meaningful and consistent power projection. Like, yeah, nobody wants to directly confront one of their warships, and with good reason - it’d likely be used as a (paper thin) justification for some sort of strategic (possibly military) escalation against the country that confronted them (or more likely, against NATO and/or the EU in general). But given their ships are evidently so poorly logistically supported, under fueled (or just kept out far too long)such that they are forced to drift in the English Channel, and unable to be supported by modern supply vessels capable of efficiently executing replenishment-at-sea… honestly, the Battle of Tsushima vibes are only getting stronger 😛
