"The enemy has put 1 submarine missile carrier on combat duty in the Black Sea, with equipment that can reach 4 Kalibr missiles", the report says.

In this regard, Ukrainians are warned about the possibility of a missile attack - the threat level is currently high. Be attentive to air raid warnings and respond promptly.

After the destruction of the Ivanivets missile boat, there was a certain lull in the Black Sea. The Russians did not take their vessels out on patrol.

On the night of February 1, fighters from one of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine units destroyed the Ivanovets missile boat of the Russian Black Sea Fleet with MAGURA V5 marine drones. The cost of the ship is 60-70 million dollars.

This boat was considered the "pride" of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. According to the representative of the DIU Andrii Yusov, there were only three such boats in Russia.
