might be too credible

of course he was afraid of russian nuukes. this only prompted Ukrainian engineers to bypass use of starlink entirely and current sea drones, like the one used in second Kerch bridge strike, or these used against SIG tanker and Olenegorsky Gornyak landing ship use domestic technology only

      tldr Ukrainian onshore radar got random range buff, TB-2 was sent to investigate

      i read an article that stated that Moskva was detected by an Ukrainian onshore radar. the problem is, Moskva was way out of normal range, and instead of normal propagation, it was visible at all due to tropospheric ducting, a condition that appears only in some specific weather conditions. so, i’m guessing, they sent TB-2 to confirm it was not an artifact, and when they confirmed it’s a big thing like seen on radar, then they sent Neptunes (2). some early reports seemed to indicate that TB-2 was sent to distract AA radar crew while Neptunes close by, but it didn’t seem to be working at all, so it’s nbd at the end of the day

          Bayraktar doesn’t carry anything big enough that can harm ship like this. Neptune has 150kg warhead and two of them + ammunition fire were enough, TB-2’s entire missile is like 20kg
