I don't drink tap water either, but with a looming water crisis, how long is it going to be before spring water sources and well sources dry up???? Perhaps you won't be able to get bottled water. I finally bit the bullet and had several 5 gallon and 3 gallon jugs of spring water delivered.  I have some stored on water racks, but I've noticed that the taste is different than what I've been purchasing in the stores in smaller jugs.  Same brand and supposedly from the same spring water source.

The reverse osmosis plants can be hijacked as well.

Filtering capability is probably more useful than stored water. for long term purposes. I can throw together a water still here at home. Also decent rain catchment - 35 or 50 gallon food grade barrels can catch a whole lotta rain.

Ukrainian Missiles Are Blowing Up The Black Sea Fleet’s New Missile Corvettes Faster Than Russia Can Build Them

A Ukrainian ATACMS raid on Sunday reportedly struck two Russian ships in Sevastopol   (The second ship was a minesweeper)

The Russian navy missile corvette Tsyklon entered service with the Black Sea Fleet in July 2023, three years after launching at Zalyv Shipbuilding Yard in Russian-occupied Crimea.

Ten months later, on Sunday, a Ukrainian strike sank the 220-foot Karakurt-class vessel in Sevastopol, in Crimea, 150 miles from the front line of Russia’s 27-month wider war on Ukraine. Satellite imagery from Monday confirmed that Tsyklon is resting on the seafloor.

Russian navy officials should be very worried about the future of the Black Sea Fleet. Ukraine is taking out the fleet’s warships faster than Russia can build or reinforce them with ships from other regional fleets.

The Black Sea Fleet is getting seven of the cruise-missile-armed Karakurts. Tsyklon was the first to commission into front-line service. Another Karakurt, the incomplete Askold, was damaged in a November Ukrainian missile raid on a shipyard in Kerch in Crimea.

Since Russia widened its war on Ukraine in February 2022, Ukrainian forces have steadily degraded the Black Sea Fleet, sinking around 15 of its pre-war force of around three dozen large warships—and damaging several others.

As long as Turkey blocks warships from passing through the Bosporus Strait connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Black Sea, the only way for the Russians to reinforce the shrinking Black Sea Fleet is to transfer smaller vessels to the Black Sea by river—or to build them in Black Sea shipyards.

It’s not for no reason that, in April, Ukrainian commandos sabotaged the Russian missile corvette Serpukhov in Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea. The Buyan-class corvette was one of the few Russian warships small enough to travel to the Black Sea via canals, the Volga River, the Don River and then the Sea of Azov.

In addition to the damaged Askold and the wrecked Tsyklon, five more Karakurts are under construction at shipyards in Crimea or on the Volga River, which connects to the Black Sea by way of the Don River.  .  .  .
