🇺🇦 🇷🇺 A missile was launched at the Russian Black Sea Fleet stationed in occupied #Sevastopol on April 21, the city’s Russian-installed governor has said.
Russian proxy governor Mikhail Razvozhayev acknowledges strike, but insists missile was “repelled” and “fragments caused a small fire, which was quickly extinguished"
#Ukraine successfully hit the #Yamal and #Azov landing ships, the communications center and several infrastructure facilities of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in #Sevastopol#Crimea
During a night attack on #Sevastopol, #Ukraine hit two more large landing ships of the Black Sea Fleet: Yamal and Azov, the Ukrainian Armed Forces claim.
Also, as reported at night, the fleet communications center was destroyed.
Previously, Ukraine destroyed 4 more large landing ships: Caesar Kunikov, Saratov, Olenegorsk Gornyak and Novocherkassk.
They really don't have any luck with falling debris.
each time, they lose one or more warships and one or more command centers (not counting the losses of officers and soldiers)
Why are maritime drones so hard to beat?

Russia has fired the navy chief because the Black Sea Fleet continues to lose warships
Cmdr. Nielsen explains why maritime drones are such a difficult challenge not only for Russia but also for other navies
🇩🇰 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 #AndersPuckNielsen is a military analyst and Navy Commander at the Royal Danish Defence College. He studies #Russia's military since long before the 2022 invasion
Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, January 31, 2024: Ukrainian forces struck Russian targets in the vicinity of #Belbek airfield in occupied #Sevastopol, #Crimea on January 31.
In the last days, information was circulating that a Russian Tarantul-class corvette has been struck at the port of Russian-occupied Sevastopol by Ukrainian USVs. It was first brought up by the “Atesh” resistance group in Russian-occupied Crimea and caused the Russian regime to increase counter operations against them.
Satellite pictures showing the Sevastopol Bay back up the story that the Russian war ship has been indeed hit.
Ukrainian partisans and satellite imagery confirmed that Ukrainian strikes against occupied #Crimea in late Dec. 2023 sank a Russian #Tarantul-class corvette near #Sevastopol.
The #SpaceX CEO had earlier claimed he never activated #Starlink in #Crimea to begin with. However, witnesses say he deliberately switched it off during #Ukraine’s first major attack on Crimea
The attack happened in the night of 16-17 September 2022. Ukraine tried using maritime drones against Russian vessels in the bay of occupied #Sevastopol for the first time, but 70 km from the target, the connection with Starlink was lost.
The Ukrainian SBU released a video of one of their USVs. It shows a spectacular new development. Apparently, Ukrainian USVs are now capable to fire missiles. The video shows an attack against Russian Navy vessels at the port of Russian-occupied Sevastopol.
The TG Channel “Atesh” released picture of the Russian Black Sea Fleet HQ in Russian-occupied Sevastopol. It is just a burnt out ruin and it does not seem like that Russians gonna change anything about that.
UK confirms Ukrainian strike completely destroyed Russian landing ship
The ship is 1 of 3 Landing Ship Tanks (LST) Russia has now lost
2 additional LSTs have likely been damaged
Russia “likely planned to use its LST force to launch significant amphibious assaults during the invasion,” but now typically uses the ships for logistical support.
