Another case of over-rated military tech? This is a very modern ship.

I followed the first link. Interesting. There is a picture in that thread which shows Russian warships lined up hull to hull in Sevastopol. I'm not Navy, but that just looks like gross incompetence to me. Ukraine, here's an opportunity to take out a substantial part of the Russian navy. Well, at least six ships...what are they thinking? They think that just because they are in a port (which doesn't belong to them) that they are safe? That, if they are not launching missiles at Ukraine that somehow they are not part of the conflict? See, this is why Russia is having such a terrible time of it...they are stupid.
