Struck two ships and the logistics of the occupiers.

The Ukrainian forces successfully hit the large landing ships Yamal and Azov, the communications center, as well as several infrastructure facilities of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation. Military expert Pavlo Narozhny and the founder of the Reactive Post Voluntary Society speaks on the effectiveness of the strike on the air of Radio NV.

“In all likelihood, it was a cruise missile strike – the Storm Shadow or, for example, the modified Neptune missile. That’s possible ...> In any case, this is a very powerful blow," Narozhny said.

In particular, he believes that it was a successful attack on Russian logistics:

“There are not so many large landing ships in Russia. It was probably the sixth ship [struck]. If they are not damaged, but destroyed, this is also a very powerful blow to logistics. Because these ships can carry either a battalion (300 soldiers) or armoured vehicles. But usually, Russia carries shells, Shaheds, ammunition more by such ships. That was a very powerful blow to Russian logistics."

He adds that the oil depot, which is located near the airfield, was hit, that is, the fuel for the aircraft burned with a high probability.

Narozhny, citing Russian milbloggers, suggests that Russia has suffered personnel losses because propagandists write that up to 50 soldiers were killed – 30 officers among them.

He says that three aircraft were damaged at this airfield, citing Russian milbloggers.
