Stand near the pier with ammunition: how do Russian ships look after the Armed Forces - Osint (photo)
The condition of a part of the Russian fleet, which was hit by a rocket of defense forces of Ukraine, told an OSINT investigative with Nick MT Anderson on the social network X (Twitter). MT Anderson received a high resolution satellite, made on April 5, 2024. In the photos you can see three ships of the "Rapuha" project - VDK "Azov", "Yamal", "Constantine Olshansky" - and one reconnaissance ship of the project 18280 "Ivan Hurs".
According to the investigator, the boats are near the repair pier and near the pier ammunition. The OSINT investigative stressed that in high quality photos he did not see damage that should be after missile defeat. The MT anderson post describes what he saw in the photo. First, there are high cranes near the Azov and Konstantin Olshansky ships. Ammo Pier is "Yamal" near the Ammo Pier pier and it is impossible to see the details.
In particular, it is not clear whether the boat recharges the air defense missiles that could be spent during previous incidents in the Sevastopol Bay. It should be noted that the strikes of winged aviation missiles of defense forces on military facilities of the Russian Federation in Sevastopol became known on March 24. The locals posted videos that recorded a hit not far from the previously destroyed headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet.
Subsequently, the Ukrainian command reported that the fleet and the ship repair plant were damaged. They also struck the ships that stood in the Sevastopol Bay: "Azov", "Yamal", "Constantine Olshansky", "Ivan Hurs". In a few days, the satellite photos of Ivan Hursa appeared on the network. They were noticeable two strokes: one rocket hit the pier, the other damaged the equipment on the stern.
According to the Ministry of Defense at the GUR, the ship will now not be able to perform intelligence tasks. The representative of the Navy of the Armed Forces also spoke about the lesions of the Konstantin Olshansky ship: it was kissed by the missiles of Ukrainian production "Neptune". Meanwhile, analysts have calculated how many ships lost the Black Sea Federation for two years of war in Ukraine.
