There is a real likelihood that a difficult task for removing debris from damaged dry docks will take them out of operation for many months. This was announced on September 15 by the UK Ministry of Defense Ministry. British intelligence notes that the missile attack was injured by the large landing ship "Minsk" and the submarine "Rostov-on-Don", which were under repair in dry docks.
"Despite the fact that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation diminishes the degree of damage to ships, it is known from open sources that" Minsk "was almost probably destroyed, and" Rostov "was likely to suffer tremendous damage," - the message reads. It is also noted that even if the submarine can be restored, it will take more than one year and millions of dollars.
In addition, the loss of a submarine of this class deprives the Russian fleet in the Black Sea fully attack Ukraine, since Rostov-on-Don was a carrier of winged missiles that the invaders fired at Ukrainian objects. We will remind, the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on September 13 confirmed the fact of strike on Sevastopol, resulting in damaged ships of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation.
