It wasn't a "bomb" it was underwater targetting the foundations, I posted a diagram from one of the accounts earlier showing the structure going into the bedrock.

But still didn’t look like 1000kg of tnt worth of explosion.
Might just be the angle of the video mind you.

Drone attack in the early hours probably a decoy keeping the Russians busy,while they sorted it.
Slava Ukraini.
It was probably "Marichka"....Ukraines Submarine drone.But still didn’t look like 1000kg of tnt worth of explosion.

Dont know the payload,but it can travel 1000km.

I was going off what Sky news said “it didn’t look like a 1000kg, might be an old photo” from a previous attemptHaving never seen 1000kg explode under water I have no idea.

I checked a few YouTube videos of underwater explosions to try to compare. Depth and angle could well make it a very different explosion tho.
Edit. This was a 500kg mine being taken out.

Interesting video on the Spiders Web attack

And who will get the blame?
And what will happen as a result
very interesting.

For sure depth would have an impact on the damage an explosion would cause
Suppose it would depend on the depth also?Having never seen 1000kg explode under water I have no idea.

Certainly, I've no idea how deep these explosives were planted either.Suppose it would depend on the depth also?
Slava Ukraini.
What's even more interesting is how they were put there, the release didn't seem to indicate it was an under water drone, and I think after the last attempt they've put in some protection for that, but they need to keep a shipping channel open as quite a lot of ships come that way from ports on the Sea of Azov.
He makes it very clear that in a divided Russia Putin is surrounded by yes men who lie to him and conceal the truth. On the other hand, Ukraine is United and Zelinski has his finger on the pulse. Despite the difference in military power, Ukraine will win this war. Time for the allies to up their game in the absence of USA.very interesting.
GLORY TO UKRAINE.

I know it’s been said before, but what the Ukrainians have been able to achieve over the last three plus years is astonishing.
There have been huge shortcomings in the Russian approach to this conflict, both strategically and tactically, but even so, for Ukraine to still be on their feet, trading blows, and landing some great punches after over three years of brutalisation from a bigger and better resourced enemy is truly remarkable.

they might quite possibly have single-handedly changed the entire global approach to warfare.

WW2 Depth changes usually contained 100kgs they made a bit of a splash.Having never seen 1000kg explode under water I have no idea.

i might be overplaying this,It might make China think again about invading Taiwan.
but every major so-called superpower could be looking at this and recognising a vulnerability they had hitherto suspected but hadn't quite comprehended the enormity of.
how weak they suddenly are.

Anything that shift the balance of power away from Superpowers has to be a good thing, surely.i might be overplaying this,
