Ukrainians report activity of landing ships of the Russian Navy in the Black Sea

5

The Ukrainian side is concerned about the high concentration of large landing ships of the Russian fleet south of Crimea. BDK are outside the range of Ukrainian missiles.

We are talking about 14 ships of the Russian Navy, 4 of which are missile carriers armed with 26 "Caliber". The operational command "South" of Ukraine reports in this regard about the sudden activation of four Russian large landing ships.



It is possible that the increased activity of Russian warships is associated with the likelihood of an APU strike in the Zaporozhye region in order to access the Sea of ​​​​Azov to block the land corridor between the Crimean Peninsula and the rest of Russia. Daniil Bezsonov, Deputy Minister of Information of the DPR, spoke about this possibility on his Telegram channel.

Meanwhile, the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation this year will be replenished with 12 new ships, as well as 21 units of special equipment. This, according to the newspaper "New Sevastopol", at the end of August, and said. about. Commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Vice Admiral Viktor Sokolov.

The Russian submarine fleet is also waiting for replenishment. So, in early August, the latest Russian submarine "Kronstadt" of project 677 "Lada" entered the final stage of factory tests. Testing of all systems of the submarine will take place at the sea test site in the Gulf of Finland.

    - Yah !!! - To put it mildly - not the best way to somehow influence any "movement" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine! - And what does it have to do with ... here ... here the BDK - they have no cover! - They (BDKs) will simply be shot down by anti-ship missiles "Harpoons" - AGM / RGM / UGM-84 "Harpoon" (anti-ship missiles) - as soon as they enter the affected area (range of destruction) - NATO will fly in from Odessa or accidentally "from somewhere" F-18s and hit with AGM-84 aviation "Harpoons" (or maybe newer anti-ship missiles will hit from Odessa)! - Although these old anti-ship missiles will be quite enough! - Well, if the cruiser "Moscow" was hit without any difficulty, then these defenseless vessels are much easier to hit !!!
    - It's just that our useless Black Sea Fleet decided to at least somehow remind of itself !!! - And then - the WSO has been going on for almost 7 months - and this Black Sea Fleet is of no use - it’s like it doesn’t exist at all !!!

    Number manipulation is impressive
    I'll try and use the numbers too
    Large landing ships allow you to unload troops outside the ports, on an unequipped coast.
    But they do not allow landing troops where they will be fired upon.
    That is, wherever the landing force does not have support or at least fire cover
    In the USSR, such support was supposed to be provided by Project 68 cruisers, which were part of the marine divisions, and could cover about 25 km from the coast with fire from 152mm naval guns, which are more powerful than any land guns. That is, no one will dare to shoot at the landing ... But there is no USSR, no marine divisions, and the last 68th Kutuzov project is a museum in Novorossiysk. There are no artillery ships in the Navy at all.
    So the presence or absence of a BDK does not solve anything - it is possible to transfer troops to the port without them, with ordinary dry cargo ships, and even better than landing ships ... But in the presence of coastal anti-ship missiles (anti-ship missiles) no dry cargo ships can reach the ports. And Ukraine has anti-ship missiles, up to the "Harpoons" on a car chassis, and with American target designation, which is important.
    So I will not only be a couch strategist myself, but I will also advise the command to leave the landing force also in a couch position, and not expose it to fire or drown it. The landing party has the right to have a command that takes care of its "liveness".
