The Russian Black Sea Fleet is now in a state where, apart from the Caliber carrier ships, they cannot use anything against Ukraine.
At the time Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian Black Sea Fleet consisted of approximately 80 combat units. So far, 25 units have been destroyed and 15 more have been seriously damaged. The spokesman of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Dmitry Pletenchuk, announced this on Saturday, February 3, during a telethon.
He emphasized that we are talking about large landing ships, submarines, minelayers, etc.
“Ukraine could already destroy or damage a third of the Russian Black Sea Fleet,” he said.
At the same time, he emphasized that the Russians could “attract something from other seas to the Black Sea.”
“They have connections with other waters – with the Caspian flotilla, and they can also deliver something like the same missile boats using internal waters even from the Baltic,” he explained, but added that it is not reasonable.
Let’s recall that on December 26, 2023, the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired missiles from Su-24 aircraft and hit the Russian landing ship Novocherkassk in the temporarily occupied Feodosia.
As you know, 74 Russian sailors died then.
