(Explosion Site)
According to the latest report from Observer Network , recently, after occupying the important coastal town of Berkansk, north of the Black Sea, the Russian army deployed several warships at its port. On the 24th local time, a large Russian 1171 landing ship exploded violently in the port, and the explosion site was also recorded by the surveillance camera, and the scene was very tragic. Fireballs rushed straight into the sky at the explosion site, and thick smoke rose everywhere. Other warships parked in the same port as the landing ships that exploded and landed in the same port were evacuated urgently to avoid being affected.
(the large-scale landing ship of 1141 destroyed this time)
According to reports, this is the first warship lost by the Russian army after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and it is also a "big guy". Russian sources revealed that the large-scale landing ship destroyed this time is the "Orske" with hull number 148, which belongs to the 1171 large-scale landing ship built during the Soviet period. The Russian army currently has 4 large-scale landing ships of 1171, one of which is in the Pacific Fleet, and the other three are in the Black Sea Fleet. After one of them is destroyed this time, the Russian army has only 2 large-scale landing ships in the Black Sea Fleet, which can be regarded as heavy losses for the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
reported that Bernsjörgh was controlled by the Russian army shortly after the war between Russia and Ukraine. The 1171 large landing ship attacked this time and the toad-class tank landing ship in the port were both the Black Sea Fleet who transported armored vehicles and soldiers to Bernsjörgh. After losing Berkengsk, Ukraine launched the Dot-U ballistic missile to strike the Port of Berkengsk, but was successfully intercepted by the Russian army at that time.
After this crackdown, the official account of the Ukrainian Armed Forces exposed the live video, and it seemed that the recording was ready in advance. The Ukrainian military claimed that the result of sinking the Russian landing ship this time came from the Ukrainian army's "Dound-U" tactical ballistic missile. If it is true, this is also the first practical example of ballistic missile sinking a warship in human history.
Considering that Russia has deployed a powerful field air defense system in Berkansk, the Ukrainian army obviously obtained precise intelligence and learned that the Russian landing ship was anchored in the port, so it launched the "Dound-U" missile and carried out a precise strike. Military experts believe that the hit accuracy of the "Dound-U" is 15 meters. Although it cannot threaten moving maritime targets, it is theoretically capable of strike for fixed warships anchored in the port.
Military experts said that although Ukraine's maritime power is very weak, and even the weakest Black Sea Fleet in the Russian Navy cannot compete, there are still a variety of asymmetric strike methods available. In addition to launching missiles, Ukraine can also use agents personnel to infiltrate into ports and strike Russian warships, and can also use underwater strikes to conduct special operations. Previously, the Russian military mainly guarded against the special maritime operations of the Ukrainian army. However, surprisingly, the Ukrainian army did not use this "small fight" method to threaten the Russian navy, but instead directly launched ballistic missiles and dropped from the sky to carry out a "thunder strike" on Russian warships, which directly allowed the Russian navy to taste the biggest bitter fruit since the war started.
