Kommun's ship: what weapon attacked the Armed Forces and why this vessel

During the attack, the Russian ship "Commun" could be in the middle of other ships, including near the guard "storm" and the VDK of the Project 775. As a result, it could not be the main goal. In the temporarily occupied Sevastopol in the Crimea, the Kommun ship was damaged. Defense Express analysts told how the Ukrainian military could hit the Russian ship. Analysts noted that Russian militaryrs stated that they had attacked the American anti -ship rocket Harpoon or the Ukrainian "Neptune".

However, the range of American weapons that transferred to Ukraine up to 150 kilometers. While Neptune has already been successfully used to strike at Konstantin Olshansky VDC on March 24. "This blow has already said directly that the Ukrainian Neptune missile has been modernized and not only by increasing the range to at least 400 km," the statement said.

Defense Express emphasized that the missile system has been updated, that is, the ability to attack ships that are in the pier and active disgusting of the terrain. Moreover, the "Commun" could not be the purpose of the impact, because the ship was in the middle of other vessels. In particular, according to a satellite image taken a few days before the attack, there was a guard vessel of the project 1135 "Burevestnik", VDK 775 and me warships and vessels of providing.

Analysts have said that in the event of a "Neptune", a priority goal for the gunshot's radar head should be the biggest goal. While "Commun" is a hundred-meter ship-catamaran, but because of the complex arched design of crane equipment on the radar, the ship will look larger than it really is. "For the anti -ship Kommun missile will look very bright and" attractive. "And so it is logical that this vessel became the goal of a blow," - said in Defense Express.

During the impact of the breakthrough of the temporarily occupied Sevastopol, it was not through a massive attack, which is an important factor for assessing the real capabilities of the occupiers. The community ship also performed operations for lifting of goods and weapons from the destroyed ships of the Black Sea Fleet. Moreover, the tasks of the ship include the rescue of sunken submarines. In addition, it is the only enemy ship with such opportunities.
