The Russian Black Sea fleet lost the missile corvette Ivanovets as a result of the night attack of unmanned boats near the coast of the Crimean peninsula. The Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of Ukraine claimed the destruction of the warship and supported the report with footage of the attack.
The operation was reportedly carried out by the special unit “Group 13” of the GUR with the support of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the United24 platform.
The Russian Ministry of Defense did not comment on the incident.
Russian military sources revealed details of the attack. In total, 9 unmanned boats were reportedly launched from the Danube River in the Odessa region. The crew of the Russian Ivanovets took the battle near the Lake Donuzlav. At least four boats were reportedly destroyed by Russian fire.
The footage shows that after the first drone exploded right next to the vessel, inflicting heavy damage, the crew did not stop fighting and fought till the last to save the corvette.
In total, three drones reportedly hit the vessel. As a result of the strikes, the missiles on board of the corvette exploded and Ivanovets sunk.
According to unofficial reports, the crew managed to evacuate, avoiding casualties.

The missile corvette Ivanovets was built in 1989. It is armed with supersonic low-altitude anti-ship cruise missiles “Mosquito”. The cost of the warship is estimated at about $ 60 million.
The attack of naval drones is the last in a series of Ukrainian drone and missile strikes over the past two days. LINK
great! the ukros have odessa, from where they control the black sea, and russia has completely destroyed bachmut and soon also completely destroyed avdeevka!
congratulation 🤣🤣🤣
ru should tell all civilians to leave odessa and karkov and then bomb it to the ground. answer fire with fire
boom boom goes another russian ship 🤣😂😂😘
and the ukrainian navy is where exactly? not exactly braving it out there on the high seas are they?
it should be recalled that the control over the crimea – and thus the control of the black sea – was the reason for the secondary conflict since 24.02.22.

if russia had made crimea unusable for the ukros and built its own black sea port near sochi, swe + fin would not be in nato today and russia would have full control over the black sea
instead of invading ukraine, all willing ukros from the donbass would have been offered $ 50,000 and a piece of land in russia. that would have been cheaper for russia than this senseless war.
instead of lauching an ethnic cleansing operation in donbas in 2014, it would have been cheaper for the ukraine to adopt rational geopolitical and economic policies.

how many dead ukrainian military personnel since the 2014 us coup in kiev? how much territory lost by the failed ukrainian cia project since the 2014 coup? what is the total population lost by the failed ukrainian cia project since the 2014 us coup?
wait a moment, odessa is called the paris of the east and yes it needs some renovation but still has its grandeur and history. also the population is russian oriented not towards kiev. but the harbour area can be levelled, because it is like going back in time there and looking same as a museum.
no, until no major “incident” happen to a british ship/sub, these attacks will not stop
so much for any more grain ships entering or leaving ukraine. tune in tomorrow this time to see the aftermath of ru’s answer.
and? still waiting 😘
another “red line” 🤣😂
i reckon leave odessa, except for the port area. flatten lvov and kiev completely.
the russians are a total embarrassment and the ukrainians seem smarter than what i gave them credit for! one un-manned boat destroyed the propeller of the russian warship to prevent it from moving and making it a static target. another boat blew a hole in the side of the warship and then the final un-manned boat attacked the same side that a hole was already blown in, sinking the warship, a total embarrassment for russia!
standard tactics… have you never heard of training? russia is at war, why is losing a 35 year old deployed 1200 tonne ship, not much bigger than a patrol boat be an embarrassment? the ukrainians executed an excellent attack, it is a great scalp, but come on, keep it in perspective. war kills people and destroys machinery.
because it cost $60 million dollars that’s why dumbass! and watch the very last few seconds of the above video, where the russian ship is sticking out of the water vertically, like the titanic slowly sinking into the cold depths of the water, and you want to tell me that is not a embarrassment, get real!
it cost 60 mill 35 years ago, its’ cost them less than 2 million for it this year, it’s already paid for itself. are you stupid or something? or did mum and dad breed to close to the gene pool? 90% of ships look exactly like that as they sink, is it embarrassing when you sink a ship to make an artificial reef? huh?
hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha
well to be fair, nato is doing exactly what they said they will do, which is to destroy the russian black sea fleet. but i’d go as far as to argue that a ship that can’t even take down a bulky piece of crap naval drone is completely fucking useless to begin with.
but also it’s obvious that this too was part of the script. russia knows ukraine has these drones. russia knows that these piece of shit warships are useless. so i dont imagine anyone is surprised that it got destroyed.
„the russian ministry of defense did not comment on the incident.“ … do they ever.
it is war and people are gonna be killed and boats will be sunk. us lost 55,000 us troops in just about 3 years of the korean war, 18000 troop killed per yer.
they came out of river in romania to do this job and shot down the plane in russian airspace full of uki pows. folks see deperation on the part of nato. give them credit. they won the pr they desperately needed.
meanwhile, uki fronts are collapsing and russians are killing 800 nazies per day.
ah, ukraine can upstage the us any day of the week, with 100-200,000 kias a year.
none ukras were on that plane at all. it in the wrong ddirections as well. where are the corpses. you are blindfolded.
absolutely correct, and i’m the king of siam.
ukro tards and western tabloids for suckers will be milking this for the next half year because the ukros have no real accomplishments 🤣
no matter what ukras shot it down.
no dead ukras.
over 200b from the us alone and this is the best ukraine can do… also, this is 100% headed by nato intel and military block not ukraine.
i’m very sure like before the russian going to kill more nato clowns in ukraine.
hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha
tranny army will be annihilated.
every one keeps calling the united-states army trannies and gay, but no one seemed to ever think if the west is so gay and they are kicking the russians asses, then what does that make the russians if they are getting defeated by a army full of trannies?
and that’s why ten years after the us coup in kiev, the us puppet force in the ukraine is unable to eject the russians from donbas, crimea, kherson, zapo, and it looks like the russians are going to be stomping identitarians in kharkov again.
kill a whole group of pows – agree to another one right away to cover it up.
running out of soldiers so forcing children and old men to fight.
where is nato soldiers? where is nato tanks? where is nato air support? burning, 6ft underground and lies.
foreign mercenaries running away or killed in ukraine by russia… none left. lmfao.
brits trying to reduce ru’s navy to the uk’s size.
naval news: new ships and submarines for the russian navy – it is a good read.
uk/nato need to do a lot more to get to russia level (ignore china that is whole other matter). but yeah good luck with experience as well, russia is learning during this war no matter how you look at it.
why are commanders of the russian navy sending ships near crimea? why are commanders of the russian air force sending their transport and awacs planes within the range of patrion missiles ? absolute incompetence or treason? why is this allowed? is fsb completely run by the cia ?
hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha
nato is laughing at ukraine. russia can just use tactical nukes and end this thing tomorrow if they wanted. but, it obviously wants to spare ukrainian civilians getting hurt. again you are laughing at ukraine and nato is using ukraine as a proxy army they even told this to anyone that has ears and laughing hysterically just like you when they tell you about how they will fight until the last ukrainian.
seems like another war where both sides are controlled. this time it is to perpetuate the meat grinder for europeans and maintain pretext for a potential martial law back home in nato countries should the “great reset” agenda ever need it.
the russian black see fleet is based in sevastopol which is in crimea. so rf navy is always there.
the answer is “both”. the war is part of the wef script, and the people giving orders are just implementing that script.
no heat signal from unmanned boats? no air surveillance? radar detection? sonar? the ingenuity goes to ukrainians.
nets should do the trick…
great comment 👍 or at least cover some flanks at night 🌙
no electronic warfare equipment on board? wtf?
hundreds of these unmanned boats can sink worlds greatest armada ffs. why no anti weapon against them? still think drones with ir needs to monitor skies 24/7.
remedy machine guns? lol
russia should do the same to send boat drones houti militias and guide them to hit natostan boats in red sea
exactly russia needs to make those bastards bleed.
100 per cent obvious that all of these ukrainian “victories” are nato, the us, the uk, france and germany planned, supported and executed. wake up people.
good point, way too complex attack for a ukros to handle all alone considering afu are snatching people from the street to be sent to the meat grinder… you`d need intelligence, radar surveillance and fancy radio controlled “boats” to execute this, no way hohols do this all by their own…
not really germany, but rest you’re right.
buddy it doesn’t take a military genius to implement these attacks. these drones are the easiest possible target imaginable and even that was too much. i am pretty sure that if i had a 50 cal mounted on my boat, i would have been able to fend off this attack. you can see them coming on radar and don’t tell me that these crappy drones have no radar signature.
seems high time that all capable naval ships outfit themselves with some more serious machine guns…
kým nebudú mať pod kontrolou odesu tak takéto útoky sa budú opakovať. prehnitý západ pomáha banderovským fašistom pri riadení takýchto útokov. keď ruské vojská oslobodia odesu tak takéto útoky skončia. nebudú mať byť totižto s kade naďalej robiť tieto útoky. nebudú mať totižto prístup k čiernemu moru.
propaganda war, the only thing they can do. russia destroyed almost all ukraine naval power, and in exchange ukraine hits and sunk a minor corvette…. it seems to me russia could lose the war hahaha 😆
bsf will be extinct? most tonnage sank since wwii by a country with no navy🤣😂🤡
🇷🇺=🤡 😆😆😆
this should not be happening! heads need to roll how is it possible for the kiev regime to continue to be able to launch these attacks on russian naval ships in the crimean sea area. why have the kiev regime military structure in odessa not being destroyed and made impossible for the regime to operate from odessa
🇷🇺🚢=🤡🐟🤡 😆😆😆
ukraine didn’t launch it nato did, russia should wipe al tanf off the face of the earth tonight.
they should just send a rogue fishing boat filled with tnt and ram a british ship in the black sea. those pesky crimeans just took the fight on their own cause they do not believe in russias ability to protect them what can they do about it ;-) i am sure the us are not behind any of these things they let the brits and others do the dirty work.
russia needs to start increasing the operational range of their iksanders or something and start barraging ukraine in the same way that ukraine is hitting russia.
it’s very obvious that european nations won’t jump in, so russia needs to take the kit gloves off and start metaphorically firing uppercuts and knees into the kidneys and liver and put these upstart ukros down for good.
i’m thinking that russia is going to have to hit ukraine’s politicians and hit ukraine so hard that the remaining population have no fight left in them and succeeding generations are unwilling to keep fighting russia.
suposedly that corvette ( ivanovets) was damage and out of service on december 30 in an attack in sebastopol accord ukrainian sources.
cred ca dunarea trebuie vizitata…
russian navy has long tradition to be beaten by enemy. i just wonder does andrei martyanov have more to say than hype boring pink floyd. is mr saker still alive?
mr saker shut down his blog cause he believed the land of the free might do harm to him or his family for having an opinion that is different from the government since he lives in the us.
“russia needs…” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
it’s an old ship from the 1980s that no longer needs to be maintained and will be replaced by a modern ship in a few years. it’s a military target and normal during a conflict. i just hope that most people survived and preferably all of them.
because the odessa region is used for launching attacks it also has to be liberated. it will return to mother russia.
lol!!! this has to be embarrassing for you guys.
8 drones… to sink one ship?
okay kiddo, the us lost 3 of their soldiers and 40 of them got fuked by one drone… that is embarrassing.
their aa never worked and they put their troops in open in fuking tents…
