| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Korrespondent] The Russian Federation rocket Askold received significant damage and may not be repairable. The Askold missile ship, after a strike on the Zaliv shipyard in Kerch, occupied Crimea, received significant damage and is probably beyond repair. The Directorate of Strategic Communications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed the defeat of the Russian Askold launch vehicle in Crimea, temporarily occupied by the Russians. Stratcom announced this on Monday, November 6, on Facebook. “Confirmed. The Russian Askold launch vehicle, the latest ship of the Karakurt project with stealth technology, was damaged as a result of the AFU hitting the maritime and port infrastructure of the Zaliv plant in temporarily occupied Crimea,” the message says. Let us recall that on November 4, the Ukrainian military struck the Zaliv shipyard in Kerch in occupied Crimea. On its territory at that moment stood Askold, one of the most modern ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Askold is a 22800 Karakurt-class small missile ship that can carry up to eight Caliber missiles. As we already wrote, an air raid warning was announced in Crimea . The Russians set up a smoke screen near the Crimean Bridge and in Sevastopol Bay, and explosions were heard. The occupation authorities traditionally announced the successful operation of air defense. Later on social networks it was reported that the strike hit the shipyard and the small missile ship Askold. |
