💥 Destroyed enemy ship “Sergei Kotov”

🎯 On the night of March 4-5, 2024, the special unit of the DIU of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine “Group 13” attacked the patrol ship of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation “Sergei Kotov”.

🤝 The mission took place in cooperation with the Naval Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and with the support of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.

☑️ As a result of the strike by Magura V5 naval drones, the Russian ship of project 22160 “Sergei Kotov” suffered damage to the stern, right and left sides.

🌊 The “cat” was damaged by fire in the territorial waters of Ukraine, near the Kerch Strait.

💰 The cost of the sunken ship is about 65 million dollars.

    Oh damn, that looked like it triggered a secondary explosion pretty much immediately.

    Congratulations to the Russian Navy on their new submarine lol :D

      Didn’t seem like it to me. Playing at .5x speed (available in the streamable player), it seems like the flash comes from panning too much to the left close to a light.

      Either way, hope it’s fucked beyond repair 🤟

    The sea life of the Black Sea thanks the Russian Navy for its donation of a new marine reef.

    It’s all exciting action to record with the phone, until a ship explodes and reality kicks in.

    Well you should know that Russia produces 100 of ships like these a year. And it wasn’t really that damaged and it was going for a refit anyway.

      That number seems laughably high. 30 ships across all keelsizes, maybe, but 100. Got any info on your information?

      Of this type less than 16 are built: wiki project 22160

        It was a joke, a collection of usual responses from russian propagandists. It couldn’t go for a refit if it sunk… And the numbers have to be laughably high otherwise you could be prosecuted or suicided.

          You really have to add an /s to things like that. I have seen quite a few tankies make arguments exactly like that without being sarcastic in the least.

          I’m sorry, with all the tankies around you never know.

      That’s roughly 65 billion $ a year for future seaweed furniture. I am not sure a country that has to buy discount ammunition from North Korea has the capacity to do that for very long.
