"If this continues, I would expect, if I was in charge of stuff, I'd be throwing everything at Sevastopol tonight, the night after, the night after. Overwhelm Russian air defences and hammer Sevastopol. If the Russian Navy have to pull out there permanently, then kind of that's your war won."
Attack on Sevastopol
- Ukraine attacked the Russian naval port of Sevastopol in occupied Crimea overnight
- A dry dock used for ship repairs was hit, damaging a Project 775 large landing ship and a Kilo-class submarine (the Rostov-on-Don)
- The attack involved 10 cruise missiles and naval drones according to Russia
- 2 people were killed and 26 injured, all plant employees
- Significant fires and explosions were seen in footage of the attack
Significance of the Attack
- Sevastopol is crucial for Russia as a warm water port providing access to the Black Sea and Mediterranean
- Without Sevastopol, Crimea loses much of its value and purpose for Russia
- Ukraine has been systematically degrading Russian air defences in the region, enabling this strike
- If Ukraine can continue attacking Sevastopol and make it untenable for the Russian Navy, it would be a massive blow
- Russia would be forced to rely on less advantageous ports that are further from strategic areas or subject to NATO surveillance
Starlink Outage
- Around the time of the Sevastopol attack, the Starlink satellite network experienced a global outage
- This is highly unusual and concerning timing
- Theories range from Russian hacking to Elon Musk deliberately shutting it down, but nothing confirmed
- Jonathan will provide an update on the Starlink situation in a later video
Wrap up
Jonathan emphasizes how significant this news is and that it could have a massive impact on the direction of the war, though he acknowledges he may be overreacting. He will provide more details in his regular news update videos.
