I see they’re also switching to human shields?
Yeah, that does work (for airborne attacks only lol).
But eh… this crew looks a bit on the younger side. Have they run out of adults?
they all look like children, and not a one of them looks like they want to be there.
this has to be a picture of a visiting group of students from some sort of military boarding school or an rotc type program.
Best case is these are cadets.
I hope so!
The article says it’s a naval school

Holy shit. I thought when you said that it would be like 16 year olds.
They look 12. Some look even younger.
Clearly nothing bad can come of this!
Yes, but can you imagine how many more crew they can fit in one submarine if they’re all 12? Those torpedos aren’t going to load themselves.
The russian army has been physically shrinking due to the war on Ukraine. Soon they’ll all be riding tricycles into battle and fit 50 in a Yugo.
Do we tell them submarines can go underwater?
Not russian ones, no.
That’s not true! They can go under!
Coming back up might be iffy.
An admission of defeat whether they realize it or not… and deep down? I think they do, look at their faces.
edit - yes they are kids not sailors my bad
They look awfully young, yeah… maybe it’s the russian version of the Magic School Bus?

Couldn’t one drone blow a hole in the netting followed by a second drone to hit the sub? You know, kinda like how Israel bombs first responders with a second missile?
yes and they will only work against small aerial drones. and they probably only have them in the dock, because the moment the first big wave hits the nets are gone and may even foul the propeller
