Destruction of the Russian fleet
Since the start of the full-scale war, the Ukrainian Defence Forces have launched a series of high-precision strikes against ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, significantly weakening its combat capabilities and destroying Russia's plans to dominate in the Black Sea.
In March 2022, the large landing ship "Saratov" was destroyed in Berdiansk. Two other large landing ships, the "Caesar Kunikov" and the "Novocherkassk", suffered significant damage.
On 13 April, two "Neptune" missiles struck the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the cruiser "Moskva". The ship sank while being towed.
During 2022-2023, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed and damaged at least dozens of Russian boats and auxiliary vessels, including during attacks in the Black Sea and Sevastopol. Numerous high-speed boats, landing craft and patrol vessels of the enemy were destroyed.
On the night of 13 September 2023, Ukrainian defenders carried out a missile and drone strike on Sevastopol, in particular on the naval shipyard. Several military units were damaged, including the large landing ship "Minsk" and the submarine "Rostov-on-Don".
On 5 March 2024, naval drones struck the patrol ship "Sergey Kotov". Ukraine announced its destruction, and footage of the sinking appeared online.
On 21 April, one of the oldest and most strategically important ships in the Russian fleet, the rescue ship "Kommuna", was struck. According to the Ukrainian Defence Forces, the ship was put out of action.
According to independent military monitoring projects, Russia has lost a significant part of its Black Sea fleet, and the remaining ships are forced to base themselves in remote ports, particularly in Novorossiysk. Ukrainian unmanned maritime platforms and missiles have become a new factor in deterring Russian forces at sea.
