He tracked radars and rockets: Ukraine hunted for the intelligence "Ivan Hurs" for about a year - Forbes

According to journalists, ten months ago, the surface drones of Ukraine pursued a reconnaissance Russian ship 120 km northeast of Bosphorus. During the Cold War, Soviet spy trawlers hid along the US coastlines and their allies. Electronic receivers sought military radars and other systems. Today they were replaced by large and more perfect reconnaissance vessels. Forbes writes about it. One of these is the Ivan Hurs ship from the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation.

The Armed Forces for about a year hunt for a 4000-ton vessel, whose crew is 131 people. Last Sunday, the ship was probably struck by a rocket winged near the pier in Sevastopol. Ten months ago, marine drones pursued this ship 120 km northeast of Bosphorus. "The drone had to be sailed over 500 km during an extremely difficult operation," journalists reported, citing a source. - The beginning of the mission was postponed due to bad weather. The connection was repeatedly interrupted.

" Although the sea drone approached and exploded, the Russian ship, apparently, had no damage. Soon the intelligence vessel was noticed that he returned to Sevastopol, and apparently unharmed. Ivan Hurs is equipped with radar warnings and other electronic listening products that make it possible to record radars and missile batteries of Ukraine. In particular, those exhibited along the Black Sea coast. The same radars and rockets that recorded Russian military aircraft over the Black Sea and ships.

The Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation tries to prevent further blows, which provides mapping of the coastal forces of Ukraine. If the strikes continue, the Russians will not be able to apply the location of the coastal forces of Ukraine. It is unclear how badly the intelligence vessel is damaged after the Sunday Raid. Satellite images show traces of fire on the feed. But perhaps the ship is repaired, so new attacks are possible. Recall that two Russian BDCs and an oil tanker sailed to Spain.
