Smaller than I would have expected, but I guess you don't want a bigger ship looking for things that want to make it go boom

Maybe this is a dumb question, but why would Ukraine target a minesweeper?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago

Because their navy won't risk going into unswept water so it'll reduce their active range, plus if they do its possible they'll hit a mine.

So the mines are not so easily detected….?

@ArbitraryValue Strategically? I don't know. But they're doing us Romanians a great service by destroying a source for all the mines being swept to our shores, lol.
