Repairs are definitely possible, even in much worse cases of in-port hull damage. The USN got USS Cole repaired after the terrorist strike almost sank her. But that ship was repaired as a demonstration of US resolve. That's not case here, where the RN's embarrassingly clumsy ship handling is on full display and many will want this to be forgotten. His Majesty's Exchequer might seize the opportunity to scrap a ship.

I was just being flippant, nothing to take seriously. But since we're there, I'd think it would be cheaper to repair than scrap.
 
Time for some Ukrainian specialists or paid-for-operatives to rent a ship packed with bomb-laden drones and smash them into the north korean ammo ships.
Optional attack the soviet ammo depot instead if its freshly laden from several ships.

I was thinking along similar lines. Your idea is more..discrete..than my idea of chucking drones or missiles from a distance. Either way, I hope the appropriate eyes are watching the Super Bowl or something when the crew transfers to the get-away vessel.

I understand, but it's only cheaper to repair than to scrap if the vessel will be replaced. The Exchequer might instead scrap the ship and save the potential acquisition and operating by not replacing it at all.
 
If Ukraine can get a missile or drone onto a ship carrying ammunition there will be a blast like no other in this conflict. It could easily be thousands of tons of ammunition going up at the same time

Ukraine does have its supporters in Siberia. I'm thinking Special Ops strike or at least an observer group to watch and report back when the ammo ships are in range.

 
Viktor Klimov, the commander of the Russian Il-22M, was killed according to Russian media. The co-pilot, got wounded but managed to land the plane.
We have only seen images of the tail, but I guess the rest of the plane isn't much better.
Putting our views as to the conflict to one side for a moment, fair full marks must go to the co pilot. Dead pilot, himself wounded and a badly damaged aircraft.
