On August 22, the Russian military reported the successful military operations in the Black Sea.
On the morning, at about 11 am local time, US-made Willard Sea Force high-speed military with an assault group of the Armed Forces was destroyed by an aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces. The incident took place to the east of Zmeiny Island. The claims were confirmed by the footage.
Another reconnaissance boat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed by the crew of the Russian Su-30SM aircraft of the Black Sea Fleet. The boat conducted operations in the area of Russian gas production facilities in the Black Sea. Another provocation of the Kiev regime was thwarted.
The Ukrainian military regularly attacks Russian military and civilian vessels in the Black Sea. However, neither NATO boats nor its intelligence capabilities, including in the Black Sea region, have so far allowed the Ukrainian military to gain any significant victories in such attacks. All the drones were destroyed by Russian ships. Now, when Kiev targets civilian installations, they are being destroyed by Russian aviation as well.
