| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited [Korrespondent] Dmitry Pletenchuk noted that the tactics of a group drone strike on an enemy ship on the high seas were used. Operations to destroy Russian ships are unique because they are developed taking into account the enemy’s experience. In particular, this concerns the attack on the missile boat Ivanovets of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. This was stated by the speaker of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Dmitry Pletenchuk on the air of the national telethon United News. According to him, the successful conduct of such an operation testifies to the skill of both planning and use of weapons, since the Russians “had a set of measures, they prepared in advance to repel such attacks.” He noted that in a technological sense, the Ivanovets boat was not a completely new vessel “due to its age,” but the Russians could use it for a long time. Pletenchuk added that the tactics of a group strike of unmanned systems against an enemy ship on the high seas were used and, most likely, this is not the only example in the world, however, in another sense, “Ukraine has actually become a similar driver for their use in real combat conditions.” The speaker noted that the Russians have already responded to the destruction of another ship, and recalled that since the beginning of the new year, an unusually large number of Russian ships have been observed in the Black Sea - from 5 to 10 units, and now there are only three of them, and “there are no missile carriers at sea". “Apparently, the enemy is also trying to analyze the situation and draw appropriate conclusions,” Pletenchuk suggested. He added that the operation to hit the missile boat once again confirmed the fact that the Russian fleet cannot feel safe near the shores of the temporarily occupied Crimea in the Black Sea. As you know, on the night of February 1, the Russian missile boat Ivanovets was destroyed. Judging by the published video, it suffered a number of hits from naval drones and sank. Let us recall that earlier the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Kirill Budanov, said that the Ukrainian military destroyed the Russian missile boat Ivanovets with Magura V5 naval drones. |
