Defense forces of Ukraine struck an enemy submarine and S-400 anti-aircraft missile complex in the temporarily occupied Crimea.

Thus, according to information confirmed yesterday by units of the missile forces, in cooperation with units of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 4 launchers of the "Triumph" air defense system were significantly damaged.

Also, in the port of Sevastopol, the submarine of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation "Rostov-on-Don" was successfully attacked. As a result of the impact, the boat sank on the spot.

For reference. Submarine B-237 "Rostov-on-Don" (according to NATO classification - Kilo class) is one of four submarines of the "Kilo" class, capable of using "Caliber" missiles. "Rostov-on-Don" was commissioned on December 26, 2014. On September 13, 2023, as a result of a Ukrainian missile attack, the ship was significantly damaged. Later, it was repaired and tested in the water area of the Sevastopol harbor. The cost of the submarine is estimated at 300 million dollars. The destruction of "Rostov-on-Don" once again proves that there is no safe place for the Russian fleet in the Ukrainian territorial waters of the Black Sea .

We thank the Ukrainian soldiers for their professional work!

To be continued!

Glory to Ukraine!

Russian navy appears to be more a liability than anything in the this war.

Failed at its core function of imposing the blocked. Russia really miscalculated its capabilities here. Text book fail after fail because leadership is stealing too much while getting high on their own farts.

It does make me wonder how EU millitaries would hold up.
