Russian milbloggers are attributing the sinking of a $65 million Russian warship to inept commanders. Ukrainian military intelligence recently claimed a victory against Russia's Black Sea fleet, stating that the Russian vessel, Sergei Kotov, was destroyed by a sea drone in the Kerch Strait.
According to the Institute for the Study of War, Russian military bloggers, known for their ultranationalist views and close military ties, are criticizing the Russian military command for its lack of response to the incident. They are also highlighting the bureaucratic inertia within the Russian military apparatus.
