Russian State Media Finds Piece From The 'Novocherkassk' Ship Ukraine Struck Overnight In Crimea

The Ukrainian Air Force carried out a successful strike on a Russian Ropucha-class tank landing ship while it was at pier-side in the Crimean port of Feodosia. The attack took place at approximately 2:30 a.m. local time and was carried out by the Ukrainian Air Force using either a Storm Shadow (UK-supplied) or SCALP-EG (French-supplied) cruise missile. Post-attack imagery from Russian sources shows the ship submerged. The destroyed ship, the Novocherkassk, is 369 feet long and capable of carrying ten main battle tanks and 340 troops. According to some reports, 87 Russians were killed in the huge explosion. Russian state media finds a chunk of the plating from the "Novocherkassk" landing ship Ukraine struck overnight in the garden patch outside of a grocery store in Feodosia, Crimea. No worries. Coat of paint and she'll be good as new.
