❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Combined attack by the Ukrainian armed forces in the Black Sea
On the morning of September 14, Ukrainian formations carried out another attack on the Crimean peninsula.
First, 11 UAV were launched from the vicinity of Odessa (for the first time in a long time not “Mugins” were used for this purpose).
The drones were shot down by the 31st Air Force and Air Defense Division around 5.30 a.m. over Yevpatoria.
Around 5.50 a.m the AFU hit the vicinity of Uyutnoye with an “Neptun” anti-ship missile R-360, as a result a S-300 SAM launcher was hit (relevant footage already appeared on the Net)
❗Once again the AFU uses the same tactics as a few weeks ago. After the UAV raid, the positions of the S-300 air defense system were determined, and the Neptun was used almost immediately. First, the AFU waited until the ammunition was exhausted, and then hit the SAMs.
🔻 Over the past two days, the Ukrainian armed forces also attacked several times a detachment of warships of the Black Sea Fleet consisting of the Vasily Bykov and Sergey Kotov.
-
In total, 12 uncrewed boats were observed, six yesterday and six more today.
-
On 13 September three drones were hit by small arms from ships.
-
Three more were hit by naval aviation helicopters from the Kacha airfield and the patrol ship Vasily Bykov.
-
This morning, five were destroyed on the approach to the OPK, and one managed to get close to the “Bykov” and hook the board (the degree of damage is not critical).
🔻 As we said yesterday, the lack of response to the increasingly aggressive actions of the collective West by the hands of Ukraine is fraught with great consequences.
The strikes will be repeated in the coming days, and herbivorous responses are not the solution.
Russian Deferation[sic], eh? You can only defer the dissolution so long
Maybe I’m dumber than I thought but I’ve never heard the phrase “herbivorous response” is this a cultural euphemism?
‘Herbivorous’ or травоядное is equal to a half-assed (effort), vanilla, not hardcore (experience), soft (response). It comes from perceiving meat eating as the real, manly, agressive thing while eating vegs is weak and gay. It says a lot, honestly.
As we said yesterday, the lack of response to the increasingly aggressive actions of the collective West by the hands of Ukraine is fraught with great consequences.
Jeez, I know this is a Russian source but still, what a weird take.
Also, “they hit our SAMs again using the same tactics we recognize from the last time” is a weird criticism.
You have to get past the trollish level of the source :
-
confirmation of the destruction of an S-300 ;
-
patrol ship Vasily Bykov was hit (even though ‘not critical’).
In general, the Ukrainian strategy of baiting anti-aircraft defences with drones in order to destroy them is rather smart. Number of maritime drones seems also to be on the rise, with waves of 6 units.
Finally, the ‘herbivorous response’ made me smile. It’s good to see them mad.
No critical damage might be a bit soon to be sure of. The Moskva was fine until it sank.
The only thing rybar is good for is to estimate a floor of effectiveness of ЗСУ attacks. And to get information during blackout periods of an offensive
