The destruction of this vessel “demonstrates that those who believe that the war in Ukraine has reached a stalemate are mistaken.” Also, such actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces refute the assertion about the alleged “deadlock” in the war in Ukraine. British Defense Minister Grant Shapps wrote about this on the social network X on December 26.
According to the official, skeptics have not noticed that over the past four months, Ukrainian defense forces have destroyed 20% of the Russian Federation’s Black Sea Fleet.
Shapps stressed that Russia’s dominance in the Black Sea is now under threat, and a new coalition of maritime forces led by Britain and Norway is helping to ensure Ukraine’s victory at sea.
Let us remind you that the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces stated that on the night of December 26, the Russian large landing ship Novocherkassk was destroyed in occupied Feodosia. Su-24 tactical attack aircraft fired Storm Shadow and SCALP cruise missiles at the enemy ship.
The Center for Strategic Communications reported that the ship was carrying Shahed attack drones, which Russia uses to attack Ukrainian cities.
The Russian Ministry of Defense was forced to admit the loss of the ship, but fantasized about the “destruction” of two Su-24s. The Air Force denied this information; Ukraine did not lose a single aircraft during the attack on Novocherkassk.
