A Russian missile strike had destroyed a storage warehouse for Harpoon anti-ship missiles in the southern Ukrainian city of Odessa, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on July 17.
“A warehouse for Harpoon anti-ship missiles supplied to Ukraine by NATO countries was destroyed with [Russian] high-precision long-range missiles at an industrial site in Odessa,” the MoD’s spokesman Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov said during his daily briefing.
The Harpoon is a sea-skimming anti-ship missile that is equipped a GPS-aided INS [inertial navigation system] and an active radar seeker. When launched from surface, the missile has a range of 124 to 280 kilometers depending on the version. It is armed with a 221 kg penetration high-explosive blast warhead.

The warehouse was reported targeted with Kh-101 stealth cruise missiles, which were launched from Tu-95 strategic bombers.
The Kh-101, which was developed by MKB Raduga, is said to has a maximum range of 4500–5500 kilometers. The missile guided by a GLONASS-aided INS [inertial navigation system]. It is reportedly re-targetable, and can be also equipped with a radar or optical seeker for terminal guidance. It is armed with a 400–450 kg conventional warhead.
In the last few months, Ukraine received Harpoon missiles from several of its Western allies. In late May 2022, Denmark sent Harpoon launchers and missiles to Ukraine, and shortly after, the Netherlands sent additional missiles. Later in mid-June 2022, the US announced that they would supply Ukraine with Harpoon launchers and missiles and the UK Defence Secretary said that they also were looking into supplying Ukraine with the missiles.
This was not the first Russian strike to target Ukraine’s newly-acquired Harpoon missiles. On July 8, a pinpoint missile strike on Odessa oblast wiped out two Harpoon anti-ship missile launchers which were recently supplied by the UK.
The US and its allies claimed that their move to supply Ukraine with Harpoon missiles is meant to “defeat Russia’s naval blockade”. Russia and Ukraine has already reached an agreement to end the blockade. Yet, Harpoons missiles are still apparently being sent to Ukraine. The real purpose of these missiles is to escalate the conflict in Ukraine.

Let it rain, let it rain – Missiles of course on Ukrainian Nazi piss and their equipment. Russia has eyes all over Ukraine and will keep pounding away at NATO imports day and night! Russia needs expand this more and more and bring Kiev into the play in terms of missile sanctions – for every attack by Ukrainian Nazi piss on Civilians in Dombas – Kiev government centres will be hit 5 or 10 times over. Time to discipline the Ukrainian Nazi piss.

It’s a very sad day for the forum trolls Jensi and Hansi.. they must be really depressed by now.
Sad day for Ukrops in general, even their transport plane crashed in Greece.
But they invented a new superhero: Zaporozhye Avenger! He shot down 6 planes! LOL
Hahahahaha
Ukraine has threatened to destroy Crimea and blow up the bridge -Russian MP Mikhail Sheremet- replies -quote – ” the response from Russia will be so harsh the Kiev authorities will never recover from it.Also-it will be followed by a crushing blow to decision making centres in Kiev-miltary infrastructure and arms-supply logistics and if so a decision will be made to take over the WHOLE of Ukraine to stop this threat –just what the pro Russia posters here want !
The problem for Ukraine is they have no escalatory route to victory – even if they could raise 10 million soldiers, Russia would escalate to thwart it. NATO could not escalate even more, as that would bring more of their territory into play in a nuclear way (and no one can touch the nuclear bastions – otherwise its all over for all) – so Bottom line Russia ALWAYS has escalatory dominance in Ukraine – they know it and even Obama’s administration knew it. There simply is no way for Ukraine to win an existential war with Russia – period – the western military planners in terms of NATO have got themselves confused about it and are putting their people in poverty because of it. This will never be confined to a conventional or local conflict during ultimate escalation – because its existential to Russia! All that can happen is to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, after that just Russians live there! That is the reality!
Putin will escalate to Super Sayan III level to crash Vegeta-Zelensky.
Just like the Putin cockroaches threatened Slovakia if they handed all their MIG 29s to the Ukrainian Air Force? Slovakia just handed all its MIG 29s to Ukraine last week. What the fuck are you going to do about it? NOTHING. That bridge in Crimea will be destroyed and you will do shit about it. Get used to it.
Have you not been watching the news – Russia now has a land bridge in what is 22% of liberated territories – size of UK as I understand it! What a gain by Russia when faced with Italian modifications to Ukrainian tanks – one forward gear – six reverse – Ukraine have been using them continually ever since. As for Mig 29s Russia is taken the ones in Ukraine down every day. and just for edification – it’s quite an operation to bring an aircraft operationally into theatre when you can’t fly them in! Most people don’t understand the complex logistics, set up and provisioning of such a complicated piece of equipment. The problem for Ukraine – they are vulnerable on route and a sitting duck in the air!
I’ve been watching the news and all I’ve seen is a bunch of Russian terrorist cockroaches bitching about how the Russia sanctions are blocking the transportation of goods and the shitty Russian army can’t consolidate its forces because the Russian conscripts will refuse to go back to the front lines.
With Ukraine being ground down, of course Russia will point out the illegal blocking of goods to Kaliningrad in violation of international law – as the EU and Lithuania were trying to do. The EU have now moved to end their criminal behavior and are now allowing goods in (free of sanctions) based on a 3 year average. Of course Russia will complain further to get the EU to fully comply with international law and their treaty obligations. Then in terms of ‘will’ there are a lot of Wills around for Ukraine – will take territory back, will be in NATO….. all wills with no factual backing. Indeed the only will that factually applies to Ukraine at the moment, is a last Will and testament – as Ukraine’s propaganda – meets the reality of war – 22% territory taken in what is just a special military operation using a sixth immediate fixed military capability.
I think EU decided to allow the transportation of goods because the EU would then have to back Lithuania in a war, that which EU does not want to have.
When EU decided to back off because they don’t want to fight a war, Lithuania then realized they would have no help if they continued the illegal stopping of transportation and then allowed it.

Hows the Kharkov offensive going? Are the boys chowing down at Vkusno & tochka yet?
Anyone know where to get a deal on a lightly used HIMARS? I hear there are a few for sale in Ukraine.
The Kharvkiv offensive took the city back from the Putin cockroaches. It’s been over for more than a month now after the Putin terrorists were defeated. You don’t remember that? It explains why you’re a braindead zombie.
The Russians were never in Kharkov they were outside the city pinning down and destroying the Uke forces in Kharkov … they just retreated to pull Ukrainian forces away from schools and hosp … er their strongpoints then cut them to pieces with artillery and now they’re back in the same positions they were in before the grand offensive and shell Kharkov at their pleasure again.
So no счастливая еда for the boys in Moscow then … just the smell of their own burnt hair and bacon.
Yes they were in Kharkiv, you fucking idiot. And the reason they’re not anywhere near Kharkiv anymore is because they defeated and humiliated when they tried and failed to capture the city.
Where is the video proof? “Russia reached agreement with ukraine to end the blockade “! Because Russia is afraid of harpoon missiles.
There’s a video on po.rnhub of a harpoon in your arse. Very funny.
I must admit I am always baffled by some who can’t see the whole picture of events that play out in war. I mostly blame the western media for putting a headline up, when the detailed content and facts do not support the headline. The Cuba missile crisis can be headlined as – Soviet Union backs down. However, the nukes in Turkey were railed in as part of that deal. Similarly here the grain export problem of Ukraine is linked to the grain export from Russia that is based on an insurance network for the shipping. On top of that there is a narrative to be countered in the world that Russia is causing hunger. Russia is quite rightly playing the detail and the situation. It wants grain exports from Ukraine linked to freedom of grain exports from Russia, it wants the world to see that Russia is aiming for maximum grain supply, and its the west that is stopping that by restricting all grain exports (Russian) – that’s a summary, there is even more to it….. A hammer always sees everything as a nail – and the military propaganda in the west has got everyone seeing Harpoons, HIMARS…. as the answer. I assure you Russia deals with those normal threats of war as they are – just normal events of war. Russia gave up 20 million in the last existential conflict – there is doubtful 20 million left in Ukraine now and stopping that threat is worth another 20 million – Russia is fighting for its very existence!
For you there is no video proof. You are as insignificant as the dwarf in my garden. Your wishes are not considered, shrimp.
Ukraine had Harpoons in May … Ukraine cried about the Russian blockade up until yesterday. If Russians were”‘afraid of harpoon missiles” why did it take a 2 month negotiation to get Russia to deblock Odessa. You would think if Russian were afraid of harpoon they would have cleared out as soon as the missile was deployed nes pas?
Where are the US Navy cruisers and destroyers in the Black Sea?
they retreat just before it started. They new if they rest in Black sea it woold be thre grave. Afther turky closed the bosporus and dardanelles to warships.
Turkey did not allow them to enter as is their prerogative under international law. Also they will not allow Russia to exit theirs. Turkey does not want to have their fishing boats bothered or to have the waters of their back garden used to make war in. If boats were still made of wood, they may have been OK about it as they could have collected all of the drift wood to use this winter.
Another terrorist attack in Odessa from the Putin cockroaches. Last night the Putin terrorists launched 23 terrorist strikes on civilian infrastructure in Kharkiv. Vladimir Putin is such a desperate terrorist freak right now he only feels content in murdering as many civilians as he can now that the shitty Russian army is being destroyed at every front. It’s what terrorist cockroaches like him do. Murder as many people as they can before their atrocities finally catch up to them.
Cry bitch cry!
HIMARS KABOOM! HAROON KABOOM!
YOUR MONKEY HEAD FULL OF SHIT KABOOM! HAHAHA 💥💥💥💥💥😄😄😄😄😄💥💥💥💥💥
Die bitch die!
This Putin freak wants to celebrate being a mass murderer. How many candles do you put in the cake? One for every person you rape and murder? How do the terrorist freaks like you celebrate all that shit? Just asking out of curiosity.
Celebrating destruction of weapons of mass murder actually.
Your lame fallacies are not just pathetic, they are completely retarded just like everything you CIA & Maidan terrorist worshiper spam here.
All death and destruction in Ukraine, all over the world, is entirely on scum like you who support Washington DC global terrorists and planetary criminals. All blood on your rotten soul if you animals even have one. Certainly you have no brain or shame. Go light a candle for Bandera and Azov, or even better go join them in hell.
Celebrating the mass murder of civilians actually. Like the sadistic terrorist freak that you are.
Who is “celebrating the mass murder of civilians” you delirious drooling imbecile? Insane hallucinations by a crazy psychopath freak that you are.
You are celebrating the murder of innocent civilians, you fucking terrorist freak.
When and where you fucking terrorist deranged degenerate? Tell me you sissy bitch when and where I “celebrated mass murder of innocent civilians” you mentally diseased pile of elephant shit?
You insane moron just spam random crap with zero proof of anything that you excrete from your crazy shithole mouth. Not even a troll, you are a mental patient which belongs in a cage under mental asylum.
Keep on celebrating there like the murdering terrorist freak that you are.
Take Odessa and you remove the entire operating platform for the missiles.
Taking Odessa is extremely military logistical action and MUST be done by Russia -never leave a flank open to invasion by opposing forces – every military leader in the world recognises that I cannot believe it will not happen.
Igor konashenkov, the man who scared off l sls air force in syria, a great man.
Now, let’s all be honest. NATO wants to keep face “we will not start ww3 because the Russians destroyed one of our planes over Greece”, so they had to find a story to cover everything up. And keep face. In fact, the plane was loaded with mines , flying from Greece to Ukraine, a fair and legitimated target, so it has been neutralized. And they have been warned many times by Lavrov – “If you deliver heavy weapons which will be used to kill Russian civilians, this will make you a legitimated target”.
There is something the West does not seem to undertand, Russia is fighting at home. It is an existencial fight, and even so, they are not using all their power in the fight. Most of the people in those areas where the fighting is going on will see Russian “occupation” as something good that could improve their living. There is no way the Russians could lose this fight.
The Russian must move on Odessa.The question is after the operation to clear the dombas area is complete which cities have priorities between Odessa and karkov.
It’s a long way to Odessa now… if they only focused on Kherson->Nikolaev->Transnistria & Odessa instead of Kiev in the first few days/weeks.
Russia does diplomacy and warfare hand in hand. Russia will achieve the current military objectives then offer negotiations.
In order to have any leverage the Russian have to put something Ukrainian at risk. In order to have credibility Russia has to reach it’s objectives of the current military operation.
It goes something like recognize the DPR / LPR as independent and crimea / Kherson as Russian and NATO fuck off or we take Odessa and turn Kiev into a gravel pit. The west say yea or nay and the fighting stops or continues.
there won’t be ukraine after all is said and done.
our ace reporter Jens assholm will be reporting on Russian victory directly from an lgbt trailer park in winnimuca Nevada. his senile eyewitness accounts of Amerikan degeneracy child sodonmy prove that amerika very free if you are homeless, mentally ill or a senile nazi
It’s time to stand on Zelensky’s neck!
DESTROY ALL OF NATO in Ukraine and the Ukraine NAZIS. Odessa needs to be taken as soon as possible Ukraine can NO LONGER EVER HAVE ACCESS TO THE SEA. =Z=
