It will be difficult for the Russians to restore the ship, as they have problems with the components.
This was stated by the spokesman of the Naval Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Captain 3rd Rank Dmytro Pletenchuk, on the air of the telethon.
“If it’s communication, if it’s automation systems, then the ship should now go for repairs. When such ships were built, it is no secret to anyone that, just like in airplanes, there was little Russian, except for metal, cables and crew. Of course, it will be difficult for them to restore it,” said Dmytro Pletenchuk.
As an example, the spokesman cited the Russian small missile ships of the near sea zone of the “Karakurt” type, which were built for Russian Black Sea Fleet.
“Four Karakurts have already been built, the fifth is being built, but the first of them has not passed state tests, and has been in operation for three years. Of course, the Russians have problems with components,” Dmytro Pletenchuk emphasized.
As a reminder, on April 7, 2024, the missile ship “Serpukhov” was disabled due to a fire on the territory of the naval base of the Russian Federation in the city of Baltiysk, Kaliningrad region.
Due to a fire inside the rocket ship, its communication and automation facilities were completely destroyed.
