Ukraine’s military says it attacked and destroyed a Russian submarine while it was anchored at a port in the occupied Crimean peninsula.
The Rostov-on-Don, a kilo-class attack submarine launched in 2014, sank after it was struck in a missile attack on the port city of Sevastopol on Friday, Ukraine’s general staff said in a statement.
It was reportedly one of four submarines operated by Russia’s Black Sea fleet capable of launching Kalibr cruise missiles. The Russian defence ministry has not commented.
Officials in Kyiv said the attack also destroyed four S-400 air defence systems protecting the peninsula, which Russia illegally annexed in 2014.
If this is true then its so magnificent, a second submarine sunk by a country without a navy…
It’s not the second one, it’s the same one that had been heavily damaged by a Storm Shadow missile in 2023 and had been in dry dock undergoing repairs ever since. This hit probably finished the job for good.
A target so nice they sunk it twice
Ah bummer, well nice anyways! Thanks for the info!
