36. I don't know how many subs they have

but we know that they have at least one, right? I think that Ukraine should find a way to destroy that port in Sevastopol. That is where they are resupplying the subs with missiles. If they can't get resupplied, sooner or later they will be useless.

No, I don't know how they would do it. But, it's worth considering. The Russians are stupid, and they tend to line up their ships like ducks in a row. Take out the port.

But, my guess is that they are now going to fire heavily on Odesa. This was always the predicted next aggression for Russia, and not hard to see. That's their style of warfare, and that's what they have done in the past.

How is it that someone would know that all the subs left port? I doubt they have their transponders on...but is this the result of satellite surveillance, and how would any average website person know this?
