The Ukrainian Navy announced the incapacitation of five large landing ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
This was announced by the speaker of the department Dmitry Pletenchuk on FREEDOM . He clarified that before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian fleet had strengthened as much as possible under the guise of exercises. They pulled six ships to six more, but soon the number of ships was reduced in number.
“Under the guise of exercises before a full-scale invasion, they pumped it up as best they could. I remind you that they only drove six to six large landing ships. But the result is known: five of them are no longer in service. This number can grow,” Pletenchuk said.
The speaker of the Navy specified that the possibility of replenishing the Black Sea Fleet was blocked for the enemy.
Attack on a Russian ship in Novorossiysk
Recall that on August 4, an unknown sea drone attacked the Olenegorsky Gornyak landing ship based in Novorossiysk (the Russian naval base is located in this city). First, strong explosions thundered in the city , later the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation accused the Armed Forces of Ukraine of trying to attack, but assured that there was no destruction.
Later, information surfaced that a large landing ship of the Russian Federation was damaged . As military-political observer Alexander Kovalenko noted, although the Olenegorsky Gornyak is not a carrier of Caliber missiles, it is important from the point of view of transporting military cargo and equipment. Kovalenko believes that the attack on the ship was a humiliating slap in the face for the Russian security system.
