Celebrations on the ship were planned for December.
Ukraine became the first country in history to hit an enemy missile ship before it was commissioned into the fleet. The Askold vessel was supposed to be accepted into service with the Russian Black Sea Fleet in December of this year. Analysts from Defense Express report this .
It is noted that the ship remained afloat, but received critical damage to very important elements. It will have to be rebuilt from scratch.
Experts explained that the missiles hit precisely the central part of the hull of the Askold corvette, where eight vertical launchers for launching Caliber or Onyx cruise missiles were located.
“This successful hit destroyed the main weapon system of this ship. Moreover, judging by the nature of the external damage, most likely the Russians will have to scrap most of the on-board equipment for controlling the ship located on the bridge,” the material says.
“Askold” is a Project 22800 Karakurt small missile ship that can carry up to eight Caliber missiles. The neutralization of such a vessel, according to the military, is very important for the security of Ukraine.
Earlier it was reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces hit the Askold missile ship during an attack on Kerch. According to published photos , the ship was damaged, after which its restoration is hardly possible.

No article on this extraordinary event has been published in mafia land, no mention on orc TV either. It must be really embarrassing that a new ship that had yet to set sail, was demolished in the most defended region on Earth. It shows the orc air defense systems are utter junk, and the likes of India and Turkey that rely on this garbage must be kicking themselves.
India and Turkey were halfwits in the first place to trust anything out of mafia land. Why did I say were? They still are halfwits.
Not the first time that India have been bitten. The government officials in India are either rotten, or just plain imbeciles.
You said it, Sir Foccusser. They are rotten imbeciles.
