As a result of a night operation on the territory of temporarily occupied Crimea, small landing boats of the Russian Black Sea Fleet were hit.
This was reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. “We are talking about boats of Project 11770 (Serna class). The ships had a crew and were loaded with armored vehicles, in particular, BTR-82,” the message says.
Intelligence notes that Russia actively used small landing boats of the Serna class during the occupation of Zmeiny Island to capsize military equipment and landing troops. “In addition, the Russians placed Tor-M2 anti-aircraft missile systems on board the boats to provide mobile cover for their group on the island and our Black Sea,” the report says.
Intelligence officials note that the Serna has high speed and can accommodate up to 45 tons of cargo and 92 armed troops. the occupiers use these boats to land advanced groups of marines or evacuate them.
“And given the virtual absence of shipborne air defense systems among the Russians after a number of attacks by the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine, such boats with air defense systems on board served as cover for the invaders for the ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in roadsteads,” reports the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. It is noted that now these plans of the Russians have been destroyed.
