russia's full-scale aggression against ukraine, this sergey kotov joined the russian black sea fleet.ious expert oleg chubuk said, it was to some extent the pride of the russian black sea fleet, a ship of a new generation, so to speak. well , just now joins our broadcast volodymyr zablotskyi, naval expert, reviewer of the defense express military portal. volodymyr, good evening. good evening, glory to ukraine, thank you for the invitation. glory to heroes. i. how would you assess the losses of serhii kotov, the ship serhii kotov for russia? well, minus one more unit, a modern, combat, combat surface ship, 1,300 tons of first-class iron, let's say, the ironclad went to sea, the enemy lost a maneuverable, let's say, platform, which was used by him in operations to provide transport. cargo to syria to, that is, to the bosphorus and back, it was such a high-speed unit, it was of a modular design, which many here believe that it was a missile corvette, it is not quite so, it was a corvette er, let's say, on order, that is, if there was need, some modular designs could be removed and missil

to ukraine, glory to the heroes, gentlemen, by the way, there is even more information on this sergey kotov, there is already confirmation in gurmo, they also announced that there are also dead russian sailors, that's all there can be up to 80 crew members, i don't know if i've been to everyone this type of aircraft still has its own helicopter, which stands on... on such a platform at the stern, it is not known whether there was a helicopter there, but by the way, there is already a video of the night shooting of the drone itself, which was made public by ukrainian intelligence officers, they already appeared and i can see for you how this sinking took place, we can see that the russians tried to shoot at the drones, but absolutely without ay, beautifully, successfully, and they write that there were at least 10 fast cars. the ambulance is already with us , serhiy danilov, deputy director of the middle east research center, mr. serhiy, good day to you, good day, i congratulate you, well, let's talk a little, there were a lot of different signals incomprehensible from moscow and the chinese

this is the value of the russian corvette sergey kotov, which was sent to the bottom by the ukrainians armed forces. the army inform resource made a rating of the most valuable. the muscovites' technology has kept the primacy for two years as the submarine cruiser moskva. it cost the occupiers 750 million dollars. two destroyed reconnaissance aircraft a50 for half a billion each. the rostov-on-don attack submarine cost up to 400 million, and the tu-22 m3 bomber. experts estimated it at 300 million. and the rear boats and transport ils graze a little. three days without food and water , the border guards found an exhausted man in the mountains, he said that he wanted to run to slovakia, but got lost, fell down the slope and lost his phone, so he could not call for help, he was warmed up and an ambulance was called. i created the entire route based on logic and my capabilities, because i can't swim, so the options with the river did not suit me. i just logically thought that there is a very difficult mountain, and most likely you know , there will be fewer border guards there, i came acr

our victories and achievements as a result of yesterday's destruction of the russian patrol ship sergey kotovack sea, seven people died, at least 27 russian occupiers were injured, about this reports the main directorate of intelligence of the ministry of defense, and natalya gumenyuk, the head of the press center of the southern defense forces, stated that the destruction of the newest patrol ship caused losses to the defense capabilities of russian military bases in the black... sea, she stated this on the air of the espresso tv channel. let's listen to what natalia humanyuk said. we are talking about a patrol ship, which is fairly new, since it was launched on july 30, 22, that is , already at the time of the full-scale invasion, and in principle it obviously performed the function protection of base points, protection of that infrastructure. which still remains with the fleet in the water areas and harbors of the black sea on the crimean peninsula, since it is equipped with anti-aircraft systems, that is, it was a kind of guard and defender. mr. andriy, how do these strikes and how are ou

already appeared, as they claim , of today's night attack in kirch, in particular on the patrol ship sergey kotovs reported that the ship was sunk as a result of the attack, the video is already available, we will give details, here is the video, it's night, you see, there's some, some, probably they are trying to shoot down something, and then a powerful explosion on the ship, so more details, we also know that for 8 hours traffic on the kerch bridge has been blocked, we hope to hear more details just now from the spokeswoman, head of the joint coordination press center of the defense forces of southern ukraine, colonel natalie ms. natalya, good morning to you, glory to ukraine, congratulations, glory to the heroes, ms. natalya, so tell me about the latest news from crimea? we can note that the additional season continues, especially when the weather is so favorable, when it is warm, when it is cozy, when it is possible to work calmly and gently, even in the air, even on the water, but we are waiting for official results from the relevant services. what kind of ship is this, which can probably b

last week, they sank another russian ship, the corvette sergei kotov.its fleet away from crimea to safer ports further east. and these uncrewed vessels have revolutionised naval warfare because they are relatively cheap, but can destroy military ships that are worth tens and hundreds of millions of dollars. and thanks to these naval drones, ukraine can successfully resist russia's attempts to dominate in the black sea. drones like magura can sail hundreds of kilometres long thanks to its long lasting battery and satellite connections. the war in ukraine is a war of new technologies. military innovations have helped kyiv to gain an advantage in the sea, despite all odds. abdujalil abdurasulov, bbc news, odesa region. the government has committed to building new gas—fired power stations — and warned that failure to do so would risk blackouts. the new plants will replace stations coming to the end of their lives. environmentalists argue it's a step backwards — but the government says they have to be "realistic" in the move towards cleaner energy. let's tal

sergey. kotov , so-and-so, so-and-so, another loss in the black sea fleet, a patrol ship that was supposed to patrol, in particular, the areas around the kerch, so-called bridge, is no longer on combat duty, quite interesting, in my opinion, was the destruction , and we have more and more audio-visual material that confirms just that. i would still like to listen to andriy, the representative of the main directorate of intelligence. regarding what serhiy kotov is and what they are features of the destruction of this particular ship. please. there were plans to place anti-aircraft missile systems on the ship itself. and there have already been such attempts. well, actually, the fewer such ships, the correspondingly smaller anti-aircraft missile complexes will be placed on them. and this means more opportunities for the ukrainian security and defense forces. also, serhii kotov is notable for the fact that he participated in the attack together with... with the cruiser moskva to the snake island, and

very, very significant, by the way, it is important to note that after we sank the russian ship sergey kotove been in a hurry to leave the bays for three or four days in a row , water areas that are protected to open the black sea. probably have reservations, and besides, i think that now the commander of the russian black sea fleet has a lot of awkward questions due to the fact that despite such threatening telegrams of instructions from moscow, the russian ships of chernomansky of the fleet get tired and go to the bottom of the black sea to rest, and therefore we have to understand that the russian black sea fleet is the only conscious decision that can be made and implemented. here now , under the current conditions, it means to get away, as far as possible from the ukrainian shores, then he has, well, at least a ghostly chance of saving the remains of his ships, then no, i suggest that the black sea fleet stay, there is no need to go anywhere, stay, because it is beautiful, well - first of all, yes, it is beautiful, it is impressive, and secondly, i am to blame, what will happen next, mr
