Russia still has many of these ships: a reserve captain named priority targets in Crimea

Now in temporarily occupied Crimea In fact, two-thirds of the Russian Black Sea Fleet remains. The priority targets for Ukraine are launch vehicles, which can carry, in particular, Kalibr missiles. And also Russian landing ships.

About this 24 Channel said captain 1st rank of the reserve of the Ukrainian Navy, strategic expert at Sonata Andrey Ryzhenko, noting that in general the invaders station warships and support vessels on the peninsula. These are mostly Soviet-built ships.

“The priority targets for us (are Channel 24) are carrier ships of the Caliber missiles, then, possibly, other missiles. Then landing ships, because their number, in principle, remains quite large,” Ryzhenko noted. < /p>

The only “safety” factor for the enemy

Ukrainian kamikaze drones reach Novorossiysk, which is on Russian territory. The only factor that allows Russian ships to feel “safe” is distance. After all, it takes one day for a Ukrainian drone to get there. And the use of foreign-made cruise missiles there is limited.

Now this view of the use of missiles is changing. Let's see. The main position is distance. It has a serious role in terms of obtaining target designation, its accuracy and the ability to apply the factor of surprise,” added captain 1st rank of the Ukrainian Navy reserve.
