Ukraine Neptune Missiles Hit Russian Frigate Makarov In Black Sea by Igbofam: 11:05am On May 06, 2022
Russia’s Admiral Makarov warship has been hit by Ukrainian missiles and burst into flames, according to Ukrainian officials.

The frigate would be Russia’s latest naval loss in a troubled campaign, coming after reports that US intelligence helped Ukraine locate and sink the Russian warship Moskva weeks ago
.

It was said to have been sailing close to Snake Island in the Black Sea south of Odesa.

Ukrainian presidential adviser Anton Gerashchenko reported on his Telegram page that Admiral Makarov was hit by a Ukrainian “Neptune” anti-ship missile. He cited Russian sources.

Russian navy ships stationed in Crimea were sent to help Admiral Makarov, he said.

Dumskaya, a Ukrainian-state newssite, said Russian forces had sent helicopters to rescue the crew of the ship, said to be 180-strong.

Admiral Makarov is a modern frigate loaded with guided missiles, according to the World Directory of Modern Warships. If lost, Russia’s frigate fleet will be down to 10.

The Russian Ministry of Defence has not commented on the reports.

Russia last month lost its Black Sea flagship Moskva in a Ukrainian cruise missile attack. On Thursday, a US official said Washington helped Ukraine to locate the warship.

Britain’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) said there were around 20 Russian Navy vessels in the Black Sea after the sinking of Moskva.

Though Russia was unable to replace Moskva as the Bosporus strait was closed to military ships, the Black Sea fleet retained the ability to strike Ukrainian targets, the MoD said.

It was unclear what effect the sinking of Admiral Makarov would have on Russian operations in the Black Sea.

Russia has blockaded Ukrainian ports on the sea’s coast to stop exports throughout the war.

Since Moscow launched what it calls a “special military operation” in late February, Ukraine has been forced to export grain by train over is western border or from its small Danube river ports rather than by sea.

The UN said on Friday that nearly 25 million tonnes of grain were stuck in Ukraine due to the war, driving global food prices to a record high last month.

You can bring such crimes to limelight or forever keep shut.



In Afghanistan the killing was done by the Taliban, in Iraq was done by Saddam Hussein, in cuba it was done by the Castro's,in Syria it was done by Assad and the Russians with the help of Isis while in Libya it was Libya killing Libyans.


So what's your point?

Alleged first footage of the Admiral Makarov on fire as it sinks appears.

Remember that Ukraine were also the first to announce the Neptune missile strike on the Moskva before Russia denied and kept denying until the vessel sunk.

This time again, Ukraine was the first to report that they hit the Admiral Makarov with Neptune missiles and that it was on fire

This war has taught me that if the West are calling you a hero, just note that you are a real buffoon. But if they are calling you a dictator or an autocrat, just note that you are serving the interest of your people not the interest of the West.


God bless putin God bless mother Russia.

I am sure a Grigorovich class frigate which was launched 2017 has the required technology to detect mines wouldn't you think? grin

Unless you want to concur to the rather shabby and sub class Russian weaponry grin

To think that you even could imagine the Russian navy being very incapable grin

It had nothing to do with any reconnaissance plane anywhere around the black Sea.

Besides planes being able to be monitored via satellite, ships can too.

You need to update yourself on modern technology

Do you see any plane in the attached screenshots?

You suddenly found yourself in idiotville. It hurts doesn't it just like the Moskva grin
