The Ukrainian Armed Forces have successfully hit large landing ships Yamal and Azov, a communications center, and several infrastructure facilities of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Pavlo Narozhny, founder of the charity organization Reactive Post and military expert, told Radio NV.
"Most likely, it was a cruise missile strike or a Storm Shadow or, for example, a modified Neptune, which is also a possible option. In any case, this is a very powerful strike," Narozhny said.
He believes it was a successful attack on Russian logistics:
"Russia has quite a few large landing ships, because this is probably the sixth ship hit. If they are not damaged but destroyed, it is also a very powerful blow to logistics. Because these ships can transport either a battalion or armored vehicles. But usually, Russia employs them to transport shells, Shaheds, and ammunition; these ships are mostly used for ammunition. This is a very powerful blow to Russian logistics", he added.
An oil depot located near the airfield was hit, which means that fuel for warplanes was most likely burned, the expert adds.
Russia suffered losses in personnel, as propagandists write that up to 50 soldiers were killed, 30 of them officers, said Narozhny, citing Russian “milbloggers”.
Three aircraft were also damaged at this airfield, the military expert said with reference to Russian war correspondents.
