Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich fires warning shots in English Channel
It is reported that the Russian ship "Admiral Grigorovich" opened fire on a British yacht in the English Channel. This is the exact vessel Russians use to escort 'shadow fleet' tankers. www.ft.com/content/ddbc...
Tim Lowe26“Kamchatka do you see torpedo boats?” @drachinifel.bsky.social
The Apostrophe23just send a couple fighters out there and sink it. then deny everything.
David21All the idiots on the Starmer BBC article earlier in the day saying how russia wasn't a threat to the UK and that the story was all lies. 😂
Nigel D.20Time for Britain to allow Ukraine to test it's drones in the English Channel.
Anna Busy Bee12The Russians are eager to provoke a conflict with the West. Anything to distract their population from the Russian blunders in Ukraine.
Kenny Foxy8Then turn it into fish habitat. It should have observed directly the entire time and immolated the instant it opened fire.
thontaddeo.bsky.social8Reminds me of this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogger_...
Douglas6Celebrating the anniversary of the dogger Bank incident perhaps?
Christopher Ramsay 🇮🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦🌻🇬🇱5Grigorovich is the one in the distance. The vessel close to the camera is a Royal Navy patrol vessel, in a modern take on the WW2 dazzle camouflage.
992cup.bsky.social4Overall experts of firing to civilians👍
andersson51.bsky.social2Did it happen in international waters? If so, the frigate could sink for unexplained reasons. If in British or French waters – keep the ship there until the investigation is complete. (Could take months)
Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich fired a warning shot at a civilian British yacht in the English Channel after the two vessels sailed close to each other in the Channel at about 11.40am on Tuesday.
🦋Special Kherson Cat🐈🇺🇦157/2. The Admiral Grigorovich has spent weeks operating near British waters, previously being spotted escorting Russian shadow fleet tankers and operating near offshore wind farms off the coast of Suffolk.
Daedalus17Excellent target to test UAVs and USVs (and maybe even some UUVs) on. When its hit, just shrug you shoulders. Thats the orc language that russian orcs understand clearly.
Holly5005The Russians can be very stupid. That's a result of education deprivation.
SLC Scott3I thought that ship was in the Black Sea. How did it get to the English Channel? Turkey isn't letting warships through the Bosporus.
Khaines Chosen - NAFO - Slava Ukraine3sink a British vessel. Go on russia I fucking dare you
⚡️ Russian frigate fires warning shots at yacht in English Channel, media reports. A Russian frigate reportedly fired warning shots at a British-flagged yacht in the English Channel. The U.K. Defense Ministry is investigating the incident.
4gabriel.bsky.social8I bet who has ties to Russia in parliament will suddenly take on new and greater importance
Christopher Ramsay 🇮🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦🌻🇬🇱6A risky business for any ruZZian vessel. Even if it hides in a ruZZian port, that is no guarantee of safety. I refer the crew of Admiral Grigorovich to the exhibits below:
"Tiger" John5Who do they think they are! The Royal Navy should sink that frigate
Atticus Hawk4The timing of this is deliberate. With Starmer’s SoD resigning over MoD funding, Russia is destabilising the UK govt further by proving John Healey’s point. The best course of action is call the Russians provocateurs and shadow them out of the Channel. Then say a sub is tracking them.
robertalderson.bsky.social3Why is this framed as "warning shots"? If a warship of an unfriendly nation makes an unprovoked attack on a civilian vessel, that warship should be sunk.
J2Strange, just saw some Ukrainians playing with drones at Royal Victoria Country Park in Hamble
👀❗️This is what the yacht looks like when a Russian frigate fired a warning shot in the English Channel. The Telegraph published the name of the civilian yacht toward which the Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich fired a warning shot: Bright Future.
Ben21It's not even particularly large for a yacht.
apjukvet.bsky.social8Definitely a threat to the Russian Frigate. The UK needs to put more naval ships in the English Channel 🇬🇧
jack-trinder11.bsky.social7guess they thought it was a naval drone and freaked out kind of see the resemblance to one 😅
dutchmanonthemove.bsky.social4That was all just for TASS to have some propaganda, they need to tell some story of how strong ruzzia still is…. #fckputin
Leaning Red Panda4I guess yacht's name "Bright Future" has triggered them 😂😂😂
Kubuś Piekielny 鬼 🇵🇱🇪🇺3Very poetic - ruSSia shots at bright future...
David Collier2Day sailors with a bottle of rose and a decent lunch on board. They must have been horrified.
fafhrdmouser.bsky.social2Russia is just jealous that they don't have one.
❗️A Russian frigate fired warning shots near a UK-registered yacht in the English Channel, BBC reports. The incident involved the Admiral Grigorovich between the Isle of Wight and Normandy after the motorless yacht drifted toward the warship in foggy conditions. No injuries or damage were reported.
Paul Browne9History never repeats, but sometimes it rhymes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogger_...
Realbutterplease8RuZZians: shoot first, talk later. And the talk will be lies, denials and highly manipulative.
Aaron Hart8Petulant fuvks just having a tantrum cos the UK took away their precious oil Tanker yesterday. Diddums.
JohnYaya4UK and France should charge Rus fees to pass through the channel
The British Ministry of Defense is investigating reports that in the English Channel, the Russian frigate "Admiral Grigorovich" fired warning shots allegedly near a yacht registered in the UK.
SlavaUkraini0339As reported by the Press Association, the frigate "Admiral Grigorovich" warning shots were reportedly fired at 11:40 local time on June 16. At that time, it was located between the Isle of Wight and Normandy. No one was injured, and the yacht was not damaged.
Straight of Whore Moose3Time to sink a Russian frigate.
