World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Well from the footage you can see they aim for vulnerable spots; the drones do have quite the payload, but in comparison to the size of those ships the actual impact area is pretty small, and therefore the chance to hit a person is also low. Those ships don't have much crew for their size, and if i am a sailor knowing that Ukraine is wrecking ships every night, i would probably hide somewhere and not stand near sensitive equipment.
Link the footage

I've seen multiple videos where they fly directly into the bridge though, or elsewhere in the main superstructure, which is where you would expect the crew to be.
Unless you are running on autopilot - since you can't outrun drones in one of those things, i would program a course and then hide somewhere if i knew what's up.
That's what I'm thinking as well, they know the drones are in the area, and hide down in the bowels of the ship.
It would be funny if they ran into each other while this was happening.
Pretty sure they are anchored. Which is why they're so closely spaced and an easy target. So really no need for anyone on the bridge especially after being attacked multiple times in the last week.
You obviously did not watch the video. The ships were moving and not at all close together.
Which days? I've watched several (I believe all of them) and the vast majority seem to be at stationary with no wake and no heat in the funnels. I'd say maybe 1 in 10 seem to be moving, usually the tugs which would really have little reason to be at anchor anyway.
