Russian Submarine and Ship Struck In Crimea
Published 1 years ago
Overnight, Ukraine launched a complex attack on the 13th Ship Repair Plant in Sevastopol, Crimea, resulting in damage to the Russian Black Sea Fleet's Rostov-on-Don Project 636.3 diesel submarine and the Baltic Fleet's Minsk Project 775 Ropucha-class large landing ship.
A mashup of witness videos shows explosions on the horizon as well as Russian air defense engaging incoming aerial munitions. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, a Russian patrol boat destroyed three Ukrainian unmanned surface vessels (bomb boats), and shot down seven cruise missiles. However, some of the missiles obviously made it through as the vessels in the dry dock took direct hits.
