On the first day of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, we heard the news: The Ukrainian navy was almost completely wiped out, and Snake Island, where soldiers had been stationed before, was occupied by the Russian army without any effort; the Ukrainian government In order to encourage the anti-Japanese sentiment in the country, the incident of the Thirteen Martyrs on Shedao Island was created, which "touched the whole country". Although this incident was ultimately proven to be false, the people on Shedao Island surrendered as soon as the Russian troops landed on the island. , no one died, but this did not prevent the Ukrainian government from continuing to make false claims.
Today's Ukrainian Navy is in name only like the Air Force, and is even worse off than the Air Force, because the Ukrainian Air Force has some helicopters hidden in warehouses that can still take off, while all the Ukrainian Navy warships have been destroyed, and there may be only Some small fishing boats were not destroyed. Therefore, Admiral Vladimir Komoedov, former commander of the Russian Navy’s Black Sea Fleet, said: On this year’s Navy Day, the Ukrainian Navy spent the day without a fleet, and all ships of the Ukrainian Navy were either It was sunk, or it was not in a state of preparation for war and was being maintained in the shipyard. Now this army has changed from a navy to a river army.
According to existing information, After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia and Ukraine split the Black Sea Fleet into two. At that time, the Black Sea Fleet had a total of 833 large and small warships. Russia obtained 81.3% of the fleet, Ukraine obtained 18.7 % of the fleet, so Ukraine used to be a naval power with hundreds of warships. my country's Liaoning was originally purchased and transformed from the Ukrainian Varyag aircraft carrier . Ukraine, which had acquired so many warships, had difficulty affording the maintenance costs of these warships for a while, because it not only inherited the Soviet navy, but also inherited part of the air force and army. This part of the weapons made Ukraine only use it to maintain these weapons. Feeling that it was unable to make ends meet, Ukraine had no choice but to destroy these weapons and equipment, dismantle them, sell them, and sell them. The navy that once had more than 100 warships only had more than 30 warships left before the war started.
What is even more confusing is that the "Terman Sagedachny" guided missile frigate, which is the flagship of the Ukrainian Navy, was actually sunk by the Ukrainian Navy itself, and the reason for sinking it was actually In order to prevent it from being obtained by the Russian army, it is indeed possible to say this. After all, the Russian navy is also very sexy, and the Russian navy also sank several warships in this conflict, so it was just in time to take this warship back. Confiscation.
Looking at the Ukrainian navy that has become the "River Army", the United States has also tailor-made it for them. The military aid sent there is no longer tanks aircraft and cannons, but the warships they lack most, but this warship is a bit small. The approval of the patrol boat will allow the Ukrainian navy to better protect the coast and inland waterways. Among this expenditure of more than 1 billion US dollars, there are 18 patrol boats for coastal and inland rivers. Ten of them are 34-foot (10.36-meter) "Dauntless Sea Ark" patrol boats, six 40-foot (12.19-meter) coastal combat boats, and two 35-foot (10.66-meter) small inland river patrol boats. When the United States announced this batch of military aid, a senior U.S. official from the Department of Defense said, "The reason for giving this equipment is to protect the river and allow Ukraine to gain control of the river." When talking about other uses, The senior American official remained silent for a while, saying that these equipment might be used in coastal areas.
It seems that the United States is also very clear. Although the Russian navy is also very stretched, no matter how stretched it is, it is not a 10-meter-long boat that can touch porcelain; nuclear submarines Let’s not talk about it. Maybe the length of these ships is not yet Some of Russia's missiles are long. If they were really used to defend the coast and prevent the Russian navy from attacking, they would probably be blown up by Russian missiles.At present, the only few armored gunboats in the Ukrainian Navy can only operate in the Dnieper River area. Their only use may be to prevent the Russian army from crossing the river when they want to cross the river; but these few small ships The ammunition that can be carried is limited. When the Russian armored army comes over and fires a salvo of artillery on this river, without the frigate they will probably be blown into pieces.
Therefore, the name of Ukraine’s Navy Day should be changed to “Ukrainian River Army Day”, because all the surrounding coastal areas belong to Russia, and the only position of its own navy is the Dnieper River. If not called River Army, what would it be called?
