Hit on the missile boat “Ivanovets”: the fate of 40 sailors is unknown

Up to 40 sailors could be on board the Russian missile boat “Ivanovets”, destroyed by the Defense Intelligence. Their fate is currently unknown.

The search for Russian sailors who were on the Ivanovets missile boat at the time of the attack by naval drones continues in the Black Sea, Ukrainian Navy reported.

Taking into account the regular number of personnel of 40 sailors, the consequences of the reduction of the Russian naval fleet are significant.

Also, the loss of the ship itself is significant for the Russians, because there were only three such boats in the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation.

We will remind, on the night of February 1, Ukrainian intelligence destroyed the Russian missile boat “Ivanovets” of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia.

The enemy boat was on a raid of Lake Donuzlav in the temporarily occupied Crimea. As a result of a series of direct hits to the hull, the Russian ship suffered damage incompatible with further movement – “Ivanovets” sank.

Earlier, USM reported that the fact of the death of a sailor from the Large Landing Craft “Novocherkask” was officially confirmed in Russia for the first time.
