very mass russian military armor, you know, brigades, and he got his nose bloodied. it is hard for us to appreciate because we could not see the battle. it is impossible to exaggerate what a loss it was for russia that their command ship, the most advance naval warship was sunk in the black sea by a ukrainian missile that was never used in war ever be. it was probably a prototype. you have a cascade of things wrong to do that. this ship not only failed to operate its defenses, this ship was responsible for all the air defenses of the rest of the russian fleet. i would not have want to be the russian admiral. and say boss, i am sorry, it went down in the black sea. there were early on in the
sunk the largest ship in the black sea fleet and one of the largest naval ships in the world. , largest naval ships in the world. a ., , ~ ., world. as it also sunk in one ofthe world. as it also sunk in one of the biggest world. as it also sunk in one of the biggest threats - world. as it also sunk in one of the biggest threats to - of the biggest threats to ukraine, as russia continues its invasion of the country? interestingly, the moskva was not directly threatening the ukrainian territory because it does not have land attack missiles like some of the other smaller ships do. its primary mission in this war has been in terms of being a command ship and having radar that was able to help in terms of target identification and threat identification and threat identification for the other ships. its main armaments are anti ship weapons and also air defence, from a point of view it s maybe a bigger symbolic blow for ukraine than it is in
to move and be repaired. the significance of that? i think that means for some period of time down in that region there is going to be the absence of another command ship. there is a brief window of vulnerability for the russian control of those naval operations about odesa. all right, we talked a lot about donbas and admiral kirby talked about donbas as well. i want it show you the terrain there. flat. wide open areas. these helicopters they were discussing, the u.s. is sending to help ukraine, why? well, couple of reasons. those are mi-17 transport helicopters. they can put a large number of troops in, so if they have to reposition troops quickly from point a to point b, they can use those. second, many of them are equipped with rocket launchers, so they can put hellfire missiles on, which is what every tanker fears. every tank fears that. exactly. you see this as a major tank battle. if they have if they can get into that area, with armored
sometimes there was no food. there was no light all the time. there was no information. phones did not work. the g7 and nato meeting in brussels discussing sanctions against russia and also adding much needed air defense systems and anti-tank weapons that they hope to send to ukraine. meantime, taking a look at mariupol, one of the contested cities that has been hammered repeatedly in the last 24 hours, those too weak and too physically strained were evacuated today, you see some images of people carried out on stretchers. but more than 100,000 people are still trapped in the city. and satellite images showing a naval vessel on fire in the port of mariupol, appears to be the ukrainian command ship. the cause of the fire has not yet been verified, but attacks do continue to ramp up in the east.
