13 Sep: Russians Furious. Ukrainians WIPE OUT RUSSIAN MAIN NAVAL BASE in 1 SCALP Strike |Ukraine War
Today Ukrainians are waking up to a day full of glorious hope, while the Russians in Crimea cannot say the same.

The Russians in Crimea woke up to a red morning today.

This morning, the Ukrainian Navy Air Force managed to hit at least 2 warships of the Russian Navy in a successful firing.

The Russian Navy base in Sevastopol was hit by at least 10 cruise missiles and 3 naval drones.
The attack may have come out of nowhere, but behind the attack there were months of preparation, planning and sheer genius.

We will now examine all the details of this critical development, and then we will analyze in detail the behind the scenes, preparatory stages and developmental processes of the attack.

This morning, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Ukraine fired 10 cruise missiles at the facility in the Ukrainian city of Sevastopol.

The area is home to naval operations key to Moscow’s war effort in Ukraine.

According to Russian officials, before dawn today explosions at a shipyard at the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in Crimea damaged at least two ships and started a fire that continued to burn into the early morning hours.

Ukraine targeted a Russian warship in the Black Sea with three seaplanes while firing 10 cruise missiles at the facility in the city of Sevastopol, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

The rare acknowledgment of a successful Ukrainian strike came after locals posted images on social media of an explosion and raging fire at the shipyard.

Crimea’s Russian-backed governor Mikhail Razvozhaev later shared a photo showing the damaged port side of a large Ropucha-class landing ship.

Mr. Razvozhaev said at least 24 people were injured at the Sevmorzavod shipyard. The first explosions and sounds of air defense were first reported around 02.00 at night.

Numerous Russian Telegram news monitoring channels reported that the shipyard, which is engaged in the construction and repair of ships and submarines belonging to the Black Sea Fleet, was on fire.

While the extent of the fire and damage to the shipyard was not immediately known, images posted on social media showed large flames engulfing the port infrastructure in the dark.

Russian Telegram channels posted videos and more photos of large flames at a facility at the water border.

As a result of the Ukrainian attack on Sevastopol, the diesel-electric submarine “Rostov-on-Don” and the large landing ship “Minsk” were damaged. They caught fire.

The GUR confirmed that a ship and submarine of the Russian Federation were hit in Sevastopol. “At the S. Ordzhonikidze ship repair facility, there is damage, especially to equipment. We can confirm that a large landing ship and a submarine were damaged.”

The Russian submarine is worth over 300 million dollars. This is a very serious loss.
This is the first time in a long time that the Russian military has admitted that the Ukrainians were able to hit Crimea with cruise missiles.

Probably French SCALP or British Storm Shadow short-range ballistic missiles were used in the attack.

The Ukrainian army still has more than a hundred of these cruise missiles with an effective range of 250 to 300 kilometers.

In this case, it is highly likely that the missiles were fired from the left bank of Kherson Dnipro or Odessa.

The ministry said air defense systems shot down seven cruise missiles and the patrol ship Vasily Bykov destroyed all unmanned drones.

Ukrainian officials had no comment on Wednesday’s strikes.
Dear viewers, this is one of the most successful strikes by the Ukrainian military in Crimea so far.

Until now, Combat Cruise Missiles have not targeted Russian warships and Navy. There was a reason for this, of course.

Russia had been annexing Crimea for 9 years and the defenses built by the Russian military in the region were very strong. It was not impossible for the Ukrainians, but it would take time.

If you remember, at the beginning of July the logistic bridges between Crimea and Kherson were hit by cruise missiles.

The Ukrainian generals then ordered the targeting of the Kerch bridge, putting the Russian army on high alert.

In mid-July, the Kerch bridge was successfully attacked and Russia’s logistics network was partially cut off.

The Russian Navy sank its own ships to prevent attacks on the Kerch bridge from the sea, and tried to block the bridge to prevent Ukrainian USVs using this strange tactic.

These attacks shifted the focus of the Russian navy to the Kerch bridge and Ukrainian naval drones.

This was the first stage of today’s successful operational plan.

Then Ukraine periodically targeted Russian military bases and barracks in Crimea and occasionally the Kerch bridge.
