This happened on the night of November 10th. Then the Ukrainian military hit two Russian landing boats of project 1176 “Akula” and 11770 “Serna”.
The destroyed commander of the Project 11770 landing boat “Serna”, senior midshipman Denis Nikitin, was born on February 18, 1981 in the city of Uzhur, Krasnoyarsk Territory of the Russian Federation, from where he was called up for military service in the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation. After graduating from midshipman school in 2001, he served in various positions at the Novorossiysk naval base.
In addition to the crew, the Russian landing boats at the time of the attack also carried loaded armored vehicles, in particular, an armored personnel carrier BTR-82.
“Military” writes that on the Black Sea at the time of the invasion the Russians had two boats of the 11770 project. However, one of them received serious damage in June last year during the battles for Zmeiny Island.
