#Novocherkassk” (BDK-46)

[awesome-casuallyfamouscollector]

Very Good Morning! Several Large Explosions and Fires are raging at the Port in the Crimean City of Feodosia on the Coast of the Black Sea, following Ukrainian Strikes against what is reported to be Russian and Iran Naval Vessels carrying Munitions; the Ukrainian Air Force is claiming to have Sunk the “Novocherkassk” (BDK-46), a Ropucha-Class Amphibious Landing Ship during the Attack.

P.S. While Trump and other idle talkers cool their mouths by engaging in lies and political demagoguery, Ukraine is effectively destroying - the military resources of the criminal regimes of Russia and Iran....The only way to achieve peace is to completely destroy the Russian army, navy and industrial resources throughout the territory of Russia....

Ukraine Destroys RuZZian Navy’s Novocherkassk Landing Craft in Occupied Crimea

After reported explosions and fire in occupied Crimea’s Feodosia Port, Ukraine’s Air Force Commander says Ukrainian Pilots Destroyed RuZZia’s Novocherkassk Large Landing Craft.

On 26 December at around 2:50 a.m. Kyiv time, numerous videos emerged on social media showing a large fire in the port of Feodosia in the east of occupied Crimea. For better visual understanding See Image Below

Local sources claimed there were hits that started the fire.

Later footage showed a massive secondary explosion:

At 3:16 a.m., Sergey Aksyonov, the head of RuZZia’s occupation administration of Crimea, confirmed the attack on Feodosia Port, claiming that the fire was localized and the detonation stopped:

“There was an enemy attack in the area of Feodosia.

The port area is cordoned off. At the moment the detonation has stopped, the fire has been localised.

All relevant services are working on the site.

Residents of several houses will be evacuated,” the quisling official wrote on Telegram.

At 03:47, Lt-Gen Mykola Oleshchuk, Ukraine’s Air Force commander shared footage from Feodosia and reported that Ukrainian Pilots Destroyed the RuZZian Navy’s Novocherkassk large landing ship: 

“And RuZZia’s fleet is getting smaller and smaller!“This time, the flagship of the RuZZian Black Sea Fleet, the cruiser Moskva (destroyed in 2022, – Ed.), is followed by the large lanfing craft ‘Novocherkassk.’ I thank the Pilots of the Air Force and everyone involved for their filigree work!” Oleshchuk wrote.

The involvement of the Air Force of Ukraine implies the use of the Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG missiles in the attack.Novocherkassk (BDK-46) in 2010, a Ropucha-class landing ship of the RuZZian Navy, a part of the Black Sea Fleet. Photo: Wikimedia Commons

The Novocherkassk was earlier damaged in Berdiansk port in March 2022, another Large Landing Ship, Saratov, was Destroyed in the same Attack.

Earlier, Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk said that Ukrainian forces were responsible for the destruction of 15 RuZZian Warships in the Black Sea, with an additional 12 suffering damage since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

The RuZZian Black Sea Fleet suffered the most significant blow in April 2022, marked by the sinking of its flagship, the Moskva Cruiser, after being struck by two Ukrainian Neptune missiles.

In September 2023, a Ukrainian Missile Attack Destroyed the RuZZian Landing ship Minsk and submarine Rostov-on-Don in the Sevastopol Shipyard in occupied Crimea. 

In the same month, the RuZZian Black Sea Fleet’s Headquarters in Sevastopol, Occupied Crimea, was Destroyed by Ukrainian missiles.
