Förhoppningsvis har Elon Musk hunnit gömma sig i en bunker! Vad hände med det ryska luftförsvaret? Har Ryssland inte ersatt det förstörda S-400-systemet?
Ropucha-class landing ship and Kilo submarine on fire in Sevastopol – OSINT experts
Ukrainska Pravda skrev:OSINT researchers have reported that a Ropucha-class large landing ship and a Kilo-class submarine have been damaged at a shipyard in occupied Sevastopol.
[...]
Kilo-class submarines are the collective designation adopted by NATO for two Russian submarine projects: Project 877 Paltus and Project 636 Varshavyanka submarines.
Project 775 large landing ships, NATO codification Ropucha [Polish for frog – ed.], are a series of second-rank large landing ships for near and far maritime zones, built in Poland for the USSR’s Navy.
These ships are intended for naval landings and transfer of troops and cargo by sea. They are capable of transporting various types of armoured vehicles, including tanks. The ships from this project form the basis of the Russian amphibious fleet.

Russian Kilo-class sub was hit in Sevastopol – conflicting reports
BulgarianMilitary.com skrev:Images currently in circulation indeed reveal a Ropucha Class landing ship engulfed in flames. Russian sources allude to damage to two vessels. Analytical studies done by @MT_Anderson mark the other likely casualty as a KILO class submarine, identified based on its location in an identical dry dock as the burning ship.
Sutton has divulged, although yet to indulge in a comprehensive analysis, that the affected KILO seems to bear semblance to a Pr.636.3 Improved-KILO. He reveals that Russia commands four of these in the Black Sea, in addition to a single Pr.877 KILO, baptized as Alrosa, distinguished by its pump jet.
An essential distinction to note is that the Enhanced KILO class submarines possess the capacity to dispatch Kalibr cruise missiles. The notion that Alrosa, another class of submarine, might have been upgraded to launch these missiles during its refit is plausible, although it lacks definitive confirmation. Consequently, this possibility is perceived with a degree of skepticism.
Förlusten av en Kilo-ubåt är också ett hårt slag mot ockupanterna. Ryssland har nämligen bara fem ubåtar i Svarta havet, och en av dem kanske inte ens kan avfyra Kalibr-kryssningsmissiler. Ukraina har tidigare riktat in sig på Tu-22M3 som också avfyrar missiler samt Il-76 som transporterar iranska drönare.
Ukrainian missiles strike Russian shipyard in Crimea
CNN skrev:Russia’s Defense Ministry said Ukrainian armed forces attacked the Sergo Ordzhonikidze shipyard in Sevastopol, which Russia uses as a repair base for its Black Sea Fleet, with 10 cruise missiles and three unmanned boats.
[...]
One unofficial Russian military blogger also said two ships were damaged: a diesel-electric submarine “Rostov-on-Don” and the large landing ship “Minsk,” which caught fire. Both vessels were undergoing repairs in dry dock. CNN could not independently verify the account.
Another unofficial account claimed that Ukraine had used British-made Storm Shadow missiles.
The commander of Ukraine’s air force, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, said Wednesday: “While the occupiers are still recovering from the night-time bombardment in Sevastopol, I would like to thank the pilots of the Ukrainian Air Force for their excellent combat work! To be continued…”
Hoppas att Elon Musk har en bekväm bunker. Detta blir knappast Ukrainas sista angrepp mot den ockuperade halvön - dessutom med västerländska vapen!
Slovakian Bozena 5 Remote-controlled Mine Clearing Vehicle Was Spotted in Ukraine
Defense Express skrev:The Bozena 5 is a remotely controlled demining system developed by Way Industry in Slovakia, designed for mine clearance and Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) tasks. It has gained a solid reputation for its reliability and effectiveness in mine clearance operations, amassing over 15 years of service in the field.
[...]
One of its standout features is its blast resistance, with the ability to withstand anti-tank mines with a blast resistance rating of 9 kg TNT equivalent. This makes it suitable for operations in high-threat contamination zones.
Enligt sociala medier har Ukraina även börjat använda slovakiska Bozena 5, en fjärrstyrd farkost för minröjning med ett grundmurat rykte.
