Just saw this on one of the sites I read to get news about the War in Ukraine: link To my knowledge this is the first time any sort of significant amphibious operation has been conducted in this war. Also, the US had delivered 40 armored riverines to Ukraine, so it would make sense. Looking for other supporting news sources. Damon. |

I'd guess more an objective raid than a serious attempt to take territory. There are probably Russian positions at the mouth of the Dnipro that Ukraine would at least like to make life difficult for. Also says 'hey look where we can go' to Russian commanders – probably forcing them to spread troops thinner to ensure security over a wider area than maybe they initially considered. Interesting to see the actual details when they emerge. |

Not sure, & not listed in the aid package: link But the last batch were supplied by Metal Shark from a US Navy design, so bets are on that. Damon. |

These Metal Sharks remind me of the old PBRs and PCFs used in SE Asia. And even afterwards. We worked with USN PCFs in the Canal Zone in the early 80s. |

The Ukraine is on the offensive. Russians are dying and losing ground. |
