Footage of the Russian kamikaze drone Lancet-51 hitting an American-made Ukrainian Island-class patrol boat. The shooting was carried out in the Southern Bug in Nikolaev, 50 kilometers from the front line. The Island-class patrol boat was developed in 1985 and is used by the US Coast Guard; it is now being replaced by other boats. The patrol boat is armed with two 12.7 and 7.62 machine guns; a 25-mm 2M-3M anti-aircraft artillery mount was also installed in Ukraine. The boat is equipped with a radar and has a speed of up to 29 knots, with a crew of 16 people. As a result of the strike from the Lancet-51 drone, the boat did not receive any visible serious damage and continued to move.

 

This simulation shows the impact of the 120mm M829 APFSDS with a Depleted Uranium penetrator being fired from a US M1A1 Abrams tank at a range of 1.9km, targeting the front hull of a Soviet T-62 tank equipped with the Ukrainian Nozh explosive reactive armour.Microtek supplies the explosive reactive armour system Nozh (Ukrainian for knife) and more advanced ERA system, the Duplet, which is tailored to defeat tandem warheads.Being new generation designs, both have entered service in the Ukrainian Armed Forces and are offered to domestic and export customers. The Nozh and Duplet are both built based on the KhSChKV-type ERA panels.Each panel contains extended knife charges that explode outward on impact and work on the principle of directive concentrated consecutive effect on the inbound projectile. Full set of the Nozh equipment for one main battle tank weighs about 3000kg.

In Russia, a fire broke out on board the trawler "Captain Lobanov" near Kaliningrad. Local authorities say several people have been injured. Meanwhile, the Russian public writes that the ship sank in the Baltic near the city of Pionerskyi.

Because some people said silly things? I'm sure the East and the South never said anything that was silly.

It's not silly 'cause the West based their foreign policy on such assumptions. It's silly in hindsight, but this was all real back then. India was seen as the enemy.

Oh wait, I read here a lot of Indians claiming that Russia is somehow in the right; which is pretty much the absolute zero of geopolitical IQ.

Russia is not in the right, nobody is in the right. Russia's actions are merely justified from an outside perspective, relatively speaking. For example, the Iraq war and the attack on Libya are far more wrong than the Ukraine war.

If you make a list of all 21st century wars and rank them based on how wrong they are, then Iraq and Libya would top the list, and the last would be Ukraine. Only the war in Afghanistan was fully justified.

So, since we live in a hypocritical world, we don't see the West as the arbiters of what's right and wrong.

As our FM Jaishankar said when he was questioned about it, he basically said the West has no principles.

It's common sense to us. A vast amount of Indian land is in the control of Pakistan and China. The West absolutely does not care at all. So why should we care about the West?

Nope, sorry. As wrong as Iraq and Libya may have been, the motive and justification for them was not a desire for genocidal expansionism.

If you can't see genocidal expansionism as being inherently wrong, then it is India that has no principles.
