Look at all the charring of the drydocks. Did they not defuel the ships before draining the locks?
It doesn't look related to ammo, as the hulls are still pretty solid in appearance, no magazine blowouts. But a lot of flammable stuff clearly burnt. Maybe the wooden spars holding the hulls upright? You're former Navy, do you know much about this? Considering the poor state of the Russian navy's ships I wouldn't be shocked to find out that the ships were leaking fuel like shive. I mean look at the horrible state of the Moskva before she was sunk and she was the flagship

I hope that this country keeps supplying arms to Ukraine. I remember seeing t-shirts at the chump's '16 campaign where supporters were wearing "I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat". The Rs seem to have forgotten a few details about what Russia is really like.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

BREAKING NEWS: Russian News outlet Ria Novosti has reported that the forces of the glorious Motherland have shot down a Storm Shadow with a British crew inside. It's especially impressive when you learn that the Storm Shadow is a cruise missile.
