“Novocherkassk” was first attacked in the port of Berdyansk in March 2022, and was finally destroyed by aircraft of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces last night. On board the ship were Shahed attack drones, which the aggressor country Russia uses to attack Ukrainian cities. This was reported by the Center for Strategic Communications.
It is noted that on the eve of a full-scale invasion, Russia additionally transferred six airborne landing forces from the Northern and Baltic fleets to the Black Sea. Thus, in this region the grouping of ships of this class has increased to 13 units.
Initially, the Kremlin wanted to use these ships in landing operations to capture the coast of the Odessa and Nikolaev regions, but the enemy received severe rebuff from the Ukrainian coastal defense forces.
The Russians now use landing ships for logistical purposes. These vessels capsize personnel, military equipment and ammunition between Russian ports and the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
The CSK recalled that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Defense Forces have destroyed or damaged large enemy landing ships Saratov, Tsezar Kunikov, Olenegorsky Gornyk and Minsk.
Let us remind you that at about 2.30 on December 26, tactical aviation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the Russian large landing ship Novocherkassk, located in the Feodosia region, with cruise missiles. This ship could transport attack drones of the Shahed type to Crimea.
Powerful explosions at the port led to destruction in Feodosia. According to information from local publics, windows in all the houses closest to the port were blown out by the blast wave.
The Air Force hinted that they attacked the enemy airborne forces with Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles.
