Most crewmembers of Russia’s Caesar Kunikov large landing ship, which Ukrainian forces destroyed off the coast of Crimea in the Black Sea on February 14, have died.
Ukraine’s military intelligence spokesperson Andriy Yusov told this to Ukrinform.
“According to available information, there was ammunition there, and most of the crew did not manage to escape,” he said.
According to Yusov, the operation to destroy the Russian warship was similar to an attack on the Ivanovets missile corvette, but has its own characteristics.
Preparations for the destruction of the ship “Cesar Kunikov” were long, with intelligence officers tracking the routes of the ship and collecting other data.
“The frequency with which relevant operations are carried out shows that the Ukrainians are learning, improving their tactics and strategy, and, of course, such measures will be continued. Today’s destruction of the large landing ship is a big blow to the capabilities of the aggressor’s fleet. They will not be able to conduct amphibious operations against Ukraine for a long time,” Yusov said.
He also added that the Russian Defense Ministry should not remain silent, but inform the Russian society what happened.
“In these difficult times, Ukrainian men and women have the right to have a holiday, that’s why the HUR [Main Intelligence Directorate] and all members of the Ukrainian security and defense forces congratulated our citizens on St. Valentine’s Day,” Yusov added.
On February 14, the Caesar Kunikov large landing ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet was destroyed by Ukrainian-made Magura V5 naval drones.
The successful operation was carried out by the Group 13 special operations unit of the Ukrainian military intelligence agency.

“He also added that the Russian Defense Ministry should not remain silent, but inform the Russian society what happened.”
Mafia land are hardly going to admit they lost another ship to a country with no navy.
I still don’t understand why that bridge is still standing…
Nice! Another submarine for mafia land, more fish food for the fish.
What is fish food for if not for the fish anyway, bro? 😂
Dolphins, squids, jellyfish, clams, Sponge Bob, and Mr. Crabs, bro. 😁
Here is an excerpt from an article posted on the Yemen News Agency site. 🤣
MOSCOW February 14. 2024 (Saba) – The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on Wednesday that the air defense systems on duty intercepted and destroyed last night nine Ukrainian drones over the territory of Belgorod and Voronezh provinces and over the Black Sea.
Sputnik quoted the ministry as saying in a statement: “An attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack using drones on targets on the territory of the Russian Federation was thwarted.”
The ministry added that operational air defense systems destroyed and intercepted nine Ukrainian drones, including two drones over Belgorod Oblast, one over the territory of Voronezh Oblast, and six drones over the Black Sea.
Question to radio Yerewan: Is the report about destroyed drones true?
Radio Yerewan: Generally, yes, for instance did the landing ship Caesar Kunikov destroy several maritime drones, by hitting them with her side wall.
