They haven't noticed that over the past 4 months 20% of russia's Black Sea Fleet has been destroyed.
russia's dominance in the Black Sea is now challenged and the new UK & Norway led Maritime Capability Coalition is helping to ensure Ukraine will win at sea,” Shapps wrote.
As Defense Express reported, on December 26, at about 02:30, tactical aviation of the Ukrainian Air Force attacked the large landing ship of the russian Black Sea Fleet Novocherkassk with cruise missiles near Feodosia.
The Novocherkassk was designed for beach landings, transferring troops and cargo by sea, as well as transporting various armored vehicles. The ship could also transport a Shahed-136 kamikaze drones.
