1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,400
In the series "Russians Don't Abandon Their
Own," this episode will undoubtedly be one
2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:11,880
of the highest-rated. However, on Russian
platforms, they certainly won't show it.
3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:17,120
And while Russians once again don't abandon
their own, something very powerful hits Crimea,
4
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,200
resulting in the large landing
ship "Novocherkassk" "sustaining
5
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:25,920
damage," as reported by Russian sources.
Considering the adversary's terminology,
6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,640
the ship was more likely destroyed. Judging by
the epic explosion, yet another Russian military
7
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:37,680
ship has turned into a submarine, embarking
on a search for the previously sunken Moscow.
8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,520
At the moment of the strike, there
were 62 crew members on board.
9
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,400
The Russian Ministry of Defense promptly
reported the downing of two Ukrainian Su-24s,
10
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:54,040
and for good measure, propagandists added another
2 F-16s just in case. So, within a week, the
11
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:59,920
adversary has allegedly destroyed 8 F-16 aircraft,
even though they haven't reached Ukraine yet.
12
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,680
The ship belongs to Project 775, large
landing ships built in the USSR at the
13
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,160
shipyards in Poland, and it is considered
one of the newer models of this series,
14
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,280
having been commissioned into the fleet in 1987.
15
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,640
Today Russia has no full-fledged
replacement for it and each loss
16
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:23,200
is irreplaceable and no less painful than
the loss of a corvette or even a frigate.
17
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,920
By the way, "Novocherkask" received a warning from
the Ukrainian Defense Forces on March 24, 2022,
18
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,440
when the port of temporarily occupied Berdiansk
came under attack. Then the big landing ship
19
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:41,680
"Saratov" was destroyed, but the "Novocherkassk"
with injuries, but managed to escape.
20
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,000
After repairs, the ship was engaged
in the logistics of the occupiers,
21
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,200
carrying equipment, ammunition, as well
as kamikaze drones Shahed-136. Given the
22
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,400
detonation that could be observed in the
port that night, it was clearly not empty.
23
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,120
Later photos of the "damage" appeared and they
clearly show that the ship was on fire from bow to
24
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:09,840
stern, the ship was literally melted. Apparently,
the ship was loaded with something so explosive
25
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:15,360
and it detonated. According to some sources, the
scale of the explosion indicates that there were
26
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,720
Shahed kamikaze drones on board; according to
other sources, there were artillery shells and
27
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:26,680
Grad MLRS on board. Thus, the Ukrainian Defense
Forces clearly calculated the moment when the
28
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,520
ship could be hit as effectively as possible,
destroying both it and the weapons it was
29
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:37,800
carrying. The large landing ships themselves are
critical assets for Russian logistics in Crimea,
30
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:43,040
but their numbers are steadily dwindling
under Ukrainian Defense Forces strikes.
31
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:48,360
I have said it many times - Ukraine, having
no fleet at all, managed to almost completely
32
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:54,720
paralyze the Russian Black Sea Fleet and inflicted
on it losses comparable to those in World War II.
33
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,600
2023 became the year of naval victory for Ukraine.
A state without its own fleet has neutralized
34
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,640
at least 20 vessels of the Russian Black Sea
Fleet, despite threats and Russia's blockade,
35
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:11,360
organizing a corridor for grain
deliveries from Ukrainian ports.
36
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,760
These victories reveal Ukraine's strategic
intelligence in coordinating military operations,
37
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:22,400
the ultimate goal of which is
to expel Russia from Crimea.
