The Russians want to use the captured Ukrainian VDC "Konstantin Olshansky" against the Armed Forces - expert

On the Ukrainian vessel, the Russians began restorative work. The Command of the Black Sea Fleet is trying to maintain the technical condition of its ship's warehouse at a capable level, said Konstantin Mashovets, military observer. The Command of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation may include a large landing ship of the Navy of the Armed Forces "Konstantin Olshansky", captured by the occupiers in 2014.

This was reported by the Ukrainian military observer Konstantin Mashovets in his Telegram-channel. "The CF command, given the significant losses in its ship composition, considers the possibility of inclusion in its combat composition of the VDC 775" Konstantin Olshansky "(Navy of the Armed Forces), captured by Russian troops in 2014," said Konstantin Mashovets. According to him, according to some information, restorative work began and continued on the ship.

He also noted that the CF command continues to make efforts to restore and maintain the technical condition of its ship's storage facility at a capable level. In OJSC "Sevastopol Maritime Factory", the repair of diesel-electric submarine is underway. In addition, the preparation of work for the dock repair of the VDK 775 "Olengorsky Gornyak" began.

According to the occupiers, the volume and level of damage to the ships (possibly except Olengorsky Hornak) is such that the restoration of the technical condition is impossible even by the end of 2025. Mashovets noted that the Black Sea Fleet Command faced difficulties in the introduction of newly built ships into the combat warehouse.

Thus, during the tests, the Amur Corvetus demonstrated a malfunction or inconsistency of the real parameters of the stated radar installed on his board of the SDRC type "shell-M". We will remind, on February 28 the military expert and former spokesman of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Vladislav Seleznev said that after the destruction of the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in September 2023, he remains in ruins.
