Russian rocket launcher "Serpukhov" could be a victim of GUR sabotage - David Sharp (video)

The ship is unlikely to be damaged by air or sea drone. Rather, it was a sabotage, although it is very difficult to do it in such a place, notes the military observer. The version that on the Russian ship "Serpukhov" in the Kaliningrad region could hit a marine or air drone quite doubtful. If it was a GUR surgery, then it took place by diversion. In an interview with the focus, a military observer David Sharp told.

According to him, we can have a manifestation and a purely psychological war, because this kind of diversion in such a place is very difficult to carry out purely technically. In addition, the Kaliningrad region is an enclave that is surrounded by NATO countries on land. "You can be sure that the drone is not flying from Poland or Lithuania, but there is natural access from the sea," Sharp emphasizes.

"In order to make a diversion you need to have physical access to the ship, and therefore we are talking about the involvement of someone from the crew that is difficult and difficult risky operation. " However, it cannot be ruled out that the ship has caught fire because of some technical problems, says the expert. Emergency events on the Russian Navy occur quite often and sin does not take advantage of such a case to conduct a psychological attack by GUR.

The statements that the GUR is behind the ship is quite beneficial to Ukraine, because this "Serpukhov" is the carrier of the missile "Caliber", notes the military observer. In addition, it is a relatively new battle vessel, and there are not many in the Russian Navy. "It is a rather small ship that can get other armed forces because it is able to move through deep rivers," notes Sharp.
