Over the past day, seven tankers, eight dry cargo ships, a ferry and two tugboats were hit.
On the night of July 13, the Unmanned Systems Forces hit another 15 Russian vessels in the Sea of Azov. This is evidenced by the operational report of the SBS.
Before that, during the day of July 12, operators of the 9th battalion “Kairos” of the 414th brigade “Birds of the Magyar”, the 1st separate center and the 412th Nemesis brigade hit 10 tankers in the waters of the Sea of Azov. Another ferry was hit by operators of the 1st separate center. Three ferries in the Kerch area were hit by operators of the 413th regiment “Reid”.
In total, over the eight days from July 6 to 13, SBS units hit 105 units of the Russian “shadow fleet”. According to the calculations of the commander of the SBS, Robert “Magyar” Brovdy, an occupier ship was hit on average every 112 minutes.
The strikes have already had a logistical effect. For example, Russia has already suspended shipping through the Azov-Don Sea Canal. This is one of the key routes for supplying fuel to the occupied Crimea.
The SBS emphasizes that the destruction of tankers and ferries makes it difficult to circumvent international sanctions. This gradually reduces Russia’s ability to maintain a military economy and provide logistics for its troops.
