Hey FreakedOut2:

Mostly Turkey was notified by individuals- one was seen by a fisherman- once they were aware they were able to sweep for them
Plus they talked worked with Romania and Russia as well

working with divers to defuse.

It’s been an ongoing problem. and probably one that could easily be missed (I’m a novice) but sometimes what seems most likely probably is

In reply to penny2. I wonder how the Turkish Navy was able to detect these untethered mines but not the Russian Navy? I'm still thinking a possible DEW attack on the MOSKVA.

I did a couple of posts on this issue but here’s a news article
https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2022-03-26/turkey-finds-mine-like-object-floating-off-black-sea

“Turkey’s military deactivated a mine on Saturday that had drifted in from the Black Sea, setting off a loud explosion north of Istanbul, days after Russia warned several of them had washed away from Ukrainian ports.”

Akar put forth the idea that these mines could be improperly deployed to justify some sort of intervention.
I’m sure Russia is sweeping, but, speculating could they miss one? It seems possible

Since last weekend, the Turkish navy has detected and defused several drifting naval or sea mines

In reply to penny2. I would imagine the Russian navy was sweeping for mines for awhile as I remember hearing of mines in the Black Sea several days ago.

Sabotage? FF?

I was leaning towards sabotage. Infiltration aboard the ship.T hen the possibility is that someone else fired at the ship? Not sure who else has ships in the area, but, it’s possible

Another possibility and my most likely – The Ukrainians have been mining the sea (Azov and the Black Sea) and the mines have been ending up in the strangest of places- It’s possible the ship hit a free floating mine.
