The Armed Forces of Ukraine have confirmed damage to the Askold missile ship. The superstructure is badly damaged, so it will be cheaper for Russia to cut the ship for scrap.

Military expert Vladislav Seleznev shared these thoughts with Channel 24 . In fact, according to him, the ship, which had never made a combat exit, turned into garbage.

That the Ukrainian Armed Forces were damaged, except for the ship

On November 4, the Ukrainian military struck the Zaliv shipyard in Kerch in occupied Crimea. It is obvious that the Russians invested a lot of money after the occupation to fully restore the functionality of the plant.

That is, the enemy has significantly invested in the development of this infrastructure unit, which today is working to increase the combat capabilities of the Russian Black Sea Fleet,” said the military expert.

As Seleznev explained, the Ukrainian Armed Forces damaged not only the Askold ship, but also the infrastructure, which is very good news. Because Russians will be forced to make a decision to move production to Russian territory. In addition, the occupiers will take the carrier ships of the Caliber missiles away from Crimea.

Will shelling of Kalibr missiles decrease?

However, such a move will not protect Ukraine from rocket attacks. Even if the invaders launch Caliber missiles from the waters of Novorossiysk Bay, they will be able to fly to Uzhgorod, because the maximum distance is up to 2 thousand kilometers.

But the fact that the enemy is forced to redeploy some of its personnel, equipment, weapons, and equipment to other regions is already good news. After all, the enemy understands that there are no calm and safe areas, water areas, or bays on the territory of Crimea. The further you go, the more and more often the “pop” happens in Crimea,” noted Vladislav Seleznev.

Attacks on the peninsula are occurring more frequently as the Ukrainian army works to reduce Russia's combat capabilities in Crimea. As Seleznev suggested, this lays the foundation for the liberation of Ukrainian Crimea from the enemy army.
