Pletenchuk said that with the latest attack, a third of all warships that Russian had in the Black Sea before the war have been destroyed or disabled. At the same time, he acknowledged that just two of about a dozen of Russian missile carrying warships have been sunk and pledged that Ukraine will continue the strikes.

Only Russia could lose their navy in a land war. Twice.

Pretty sure this is an up to date list of the black sea fleet (or what's left of it)

I’m envisioning this hanging up in a command planning center at the pentagon.

Shit I want this hanging up in my bedroom, laminated so I can cross them out myself!

I don't understand the rules of this version of battleship / tic-tac-toe.

You need a drone to play it, than it's kind of free for all.

Correct. X is sunk, O is just damaged

Where'd you find this? I'd love to know the source and check for updates over time.

Found the image of the (2019) black sea fleet on Google, been cross referencing their Cyrillic names with their English ones and X'ing them out personally.

Hence not being sure if I missed any

Ahh. Got it. Thanks!

wait so not really a third...

In terms of tonnage, I think it's actually over 1/3

Either way, most of the big bois are down or out

That's some good news

Keep up the good work!

This is why continued funding for Ukraine is very important. If they can destroy Russia’s capabilities faster than they can replace it with similar level of tech while not losing control of key territories, they can win (or at least make Russia not win) in the long term

Naval commands around the world are scrambling to install additional ciws on their ships. A wolfpack of drones is a terrible treat to surface combatants.

2/3rds destroyed next, let's gooooo!

The little aquatic drone that could

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Ukraine’s Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk told The Associated Press that the latest strike on Saturday night hit the Russian amphibious landing ship Kostiantyn Olshansky that was resting in dock in Sevastopol in Russia-occupied Crimea.

He told the AP that the weekend attack, which was launched with Ukraine-built Neptune missiles, also hit Sevastopol port facilities and an oil depot.

“Our ultimate goal is complete absence of military ships of the so-called Russian Federation in the Azov and Black Sea regions,” Pletenchuk told the AP.

Successful Ukrainian drone and missile strikes have provided a major morale boost for Kyiv at a time when its undermanned and under-gunned forces are facing Russian attacks along the more than 1,000-kilometer (600-mile) front line.

Challenging Russia’s naval superiority also has helped create more favorable conditions for Ukrainian grain exports and other shipments from the country’s Black Sea ports.

Earlier this month, Russian media reported that the navy chief, Adm. Nikolai Yevmenov, had been fired and replaced with Adm. Alexander Moiseyev, the commander of Russia’s Northern Fleet.
