Based on the confirmed information, Rocket Forces, in cooperation with the Ukrainian Navy, severely damaged four [S-400] Triumph air defence missile launchers yesterday [2 August].
In addition, the Rostov-on-Don submarine belonging to the Russian Black Sea Fleet was successfully hit in the port of Sevastopol. It sank on the spot after being hit.”
For reference: The B-237 Rostov-on-Don, a Kilo-class submarine as per NATO classification, is one of four Russian Kilo-class submarines capable of launching Kalibr missiles. It was commissioned on 26 December 2014.
Ukraine’s General Staff noted that the vessel sustained significant damage in a Ukrainian missile attack on 13 September 2023. It was subsequently repaired and tested in the waters of Sevastopol Harbour. The cost of the submarine is estimated at US$300 million.

What can I say? This is more than awesome news. This is spectacular news! Now, the roaches can’t even keep their subs in the Black Sea!
No doubt the crew sunk with it, which is even better news.
Can’t agree more.
Why do those idiots keep putting expensive, nearly irreplaceable assets in an indefensible port?
Even if they raise it the boat’s electronics are for shit and the whole thing will have to be gutted.
There are many things that the cockroaches do that makes us wonder, like golf cart and motorcycle assaults across an open battlefield.
