The Russian Black Sea Fleet is also one of Russia's existing four major naval fleets, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the strength of the Black Sea Fleet has also been greatly reduced, even less than a quarter of the former Soviet Union's heyday, but now after launching special military operations against Ukraine, many surface ships of the Black Sea Fleet are still involved in military operations, Russia has repeatedly used the Various types of frigates of the Black Sea Fleet to strike targets in Ukraine, caliber cruise missiles are also the most launched by Russia, a missile launched by Russia. The missile even incorporates artificial intelligence technology to achieve precise strikes against targets in Ukraine, and Russia has also used some anti-ship missiles on warships to deter targets.
On the day of April 4, there were Ukrainian media reports showing that the Russian Black Sea Fleet was once again hit by the Ukrainian side, and the Admiral Essen, which belonged to the 11356M guided missile frigate of the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet, was attacked, and the Ukrainian strike action also led to the Russian Navy's Admiral Essen being severely damaged. Now that the Ukrainian missile hit the Russian warship and caused serious injuries, it also shows that the strength of the Russian Navy has seriously declined.
The reason why Ukraine uses missiles to target Russian missile frigates is very simple, Russia's frequent launch of caliber cruise missiles has dealt a heavy blow to the Ukrainian military, especially this missile launched by Admiral Essen, which has continuously attacked military targets near Osad, coupled with the fact that the Donetsk civilian armed forces have just destroyed the Mi-8 helicopter taken by the commander of the Ukrainian Azov battalion in Ukraine using the American-made Stinger shoulder anti-aircraft missiles captured by the Russian army, So Ukraine, which currently harbors a grudge, is rushing to retaliate against Russia.
Previously, the Black Sea Fleet also had a 5,000-ton landing ship, which was hit by the Ukrainian Polka dot U tactical missile, when the 5,000-ton landing ship was parked in the port of Berdyansk, the landing ship transported a large number of weapons and equipment, and the Ukrainian dot U tactical missile hit also made Russia suffer heavy losses, in addition to the 5,000-ton landing ship directly sunk, several surrounding surface ships were also affected, the dot U tactical missile as a Soviet era weapon equipment, It was also surprising that such a heavy blow could be inflicted on large surface ships, but now in the course of Russian frigate strike operations, Ukraine did not use the Dot U tactical missile, but used the Neptune anti-ship missile.
Neptune anti-ship missile is a type of weapon equipment developed by Ukraine itself, it is understood that the missile uses the booster of the former Soviet Union S125 air defense missile, which can complete a low-altitude flight of 290 kilometers, and the detection distance of its radar seeker is about 48 kilometers, according to the Ukrainian naval forces, after being equipped with Neptune anti-ship missiles, it is enough to call the entire Russian naval fleet, and now the Neptune missile has just entered service for a long time, and has already created a battle trail. This also shows that Ukraine's domestically produced weapon is quite strong. Text/Iris
