Vladimir Putin's prized £275million submarine is obliterated by Ukraine during a devastating missile strike
2024-08-04
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Ukraine has obliterated a £275million submarine prized by Putin in a missile strike on Russian-occupied Crimea.

The kilo-class vessel, named Rostov-on-Don, was hit during a huge missile barrage, Ukrainian forces confirmed.

The submarine, used to fire calibre class missiles into Ukraine, had been repaired from previous damage after being targeted in September last year.

Dramatic pictures last year showed a huge hole blown into the sub during Ukrainian strikes last year.

It was due to return to service when it was sunk by Ukrainian forces in Sevastopol on Friday night.
Repair. Rinse. Repeat. At least they get to practice their skills…
