πŸ”₯ "Magura" destroyed "Caesar" - scouts sank a large landing ship of the Russian Federation

🫑 On February 14, 2024, the Main Directorate of Intelligence in cooperation with all components of the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine destroyed the large amphibious ship "Caesar Kunikov" of the Black Sea Fleet of the aggressor state of Russia.

πŸ¦‰ The special forces of "Group 13" of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine carried out a successful mission.

🀝 Implementation of the special operation became possible with the support of the United24 platform.

πŸ’₯ The enemy ship was attacked by "Magura V5" sea attack drones near the shores of the temporarily occupied Crimea near the city of Alupka.

β˜‘οΈ As a result, "Caesar Kunikov" received critical holes on the left side and began to sink. It is symbolic that the Russian officer, after whom the ship was named, was killed exactly 81 years ago.

⚑️ The large amphibious ship "Caesar Kunikov" of project 775 is one of the newest Russian ships. Could accommodate 87 crew members on board. It was used by terrorist Moscow during the wars against Georgia, Syria and Ukraine.

❗️ The search and rescue operation of the occupiers was not successful.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Glory to Ukraine!

Fate: Sunk off the coast of Crimea during the Russo-Ukrainian War, 14 February 2024

Wikipedia editors keeping things current.

Named after Caesar Kunikov (23 June 1909 – 14 February 1943). Got to love the symbolism.

[–] mea_rah@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

The only thing missing from absolute perfection would be if this happened last year instead. It would be exactly 80 years after Kunikov's death.

entire current intro section:

Caesar Kunikov (BDK-64) (Russian: Β«Π¦Π΅Π·Π°Ρ€ΡŒ ΠšΡƒΠ½ΠΈΠΊΠΎΠ²Β» (Π‘Π”Πš-64), romanized: Tsezar' Kunikov) was a Project 775 (NATO reporting name: Ropucha-I-class) large landing ship (Bol'shoy Desantnyy Korabl) of the Russian Navy that was sunk by the Ukrainian GUR on Valentine's Day 2024, the same day as the death of her namesake, Caesar Lvovich Kunikov, 81 years earlier.

How many targets (russian ships) of that size or bigger are left in the black sea?

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Here's a handy little infographic I robbed from Reddit.

[–] Treczoks@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

So in the end it is a game of Bingo with rounds of playing Battleship...

Not bad for a country without a fleet.

[–] MrMakabar@feddit.de 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

There are three landing ships in the Black Sea, which have not been sunk. There a number of frigates in the Black Sea, which are of similar size, but obviously have a different role.

These landing ships are great to transport freight to Crimea. It seems like Ukraine is targeting them specifically. If they are gone, it would make it a lot harder to resupply Crimea, if somebody were to hit the Kerch bridge.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

if somebody were to hit the Kerch bridge.

Surely they wouldn't do it a third time, right? 🀣

[–] Treczoks@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And who might have an interest in hitting the Kerch bridge? ;-)

Ukraine.

Fantastic news

[–] swearengen@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Good news.

Those V5 sea drones are proving formidable. Wonder if they'll have upclose footage from this one.

Here is a link to make it easier for others. This is Ukraine's official donation location and one of the best ways to help them out yourself.

Awesome!

Thank you to the Russian Navy for its generous donation to the Black Sea Artificial Reef Foundation

[–] _xDEADBEEF@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

do they maneuver these as fpv drones or via waypoint? i cant imagine how motion sick youd get piloting them. Maybe they use a mixture of both.

[–] Wilshire@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Possibly a mixture, but that seems too risky. Those are rough waves.
