Ropuchas from Berdiansk

Copied from Talk:Russian ship Caesar Kunikov

In the video the number on the ship in the front resembles "58", a "1" is not visible however (scraped off? or completely different ship?), so if the decision is between only the two ships mentioned here, I'd say the Novocherkassk is the one in the back with the quite intense fire on the foredeck. However, one can also see a bit of smoke from the ship in the front (though that might only be smoldering debris blown over from the Saratov at the dock).--OBrian (talk) 12:32, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is quite possible, that for current operation all Ropuchas had changed their numbers (at least the nearest ship is painted off its name near stern). Moreover there are sources that Ropuchas from other fleets had also entered in Black Sea for exercises in the beginning of 2022. So, it is possible, that they are not even CK and N.

Minsk

I left the ship as active because the cite provided links to this tweet [1], which states that is "likely beyond economic repair" which is different than "is beyond economic repair". The first is supposition and not backed by proof. The second would be fact. Therefore the cite cannot be used to back up that statement. Llammakey (talk) 18:34, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

BDK?

What does 'BDK' mean, as in the caption "BDK Alexander Shabalin"? Nurg (talk) 22:48, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

BDK is a Russian acronym which means Bolshoi Desantryy Korabl (I may have misspelled that, I wrote it quickly when I took the note) which means Large Landing Ship.^[1]Llammakey (talk) 00:07, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cesar Kunikov

The Cesar Kunikov has been reported destroyed by Ukraine. Video published by Ukrainian MoD appears to verify it was struck by USV and capsized shortly thereafter. As this occurred at sea it is quite possible additional photo verification may be difficult so I’m unclear what constitutes a reputable source for this. Do we just wait until/if Russia verifies its gone? Jyggalypuff (talk) 08:40, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

News picked up the story its reputable now. Jyggalypuff (talk) 09:13, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Independant sources have yet to confirm sinking. Please stop posting propaganda by either side. Thank you. Llammakey (talk) 19:05, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So Oryx and the Economist are now propaganda? Okaaaay....--RD47 (talk) 23:13, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
