Ukrainian spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk stated on television that the attack, which involved two US-provided ATACMS missiles, could signify the loss of the last Russian cruise missile carrier in Crimea.
Sheesh. I wonder if they have any left over in Novorossiysk. Their Black Sea fleet is so shot, it’s crazy

By March 2024, Ukraine’s Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk said they had disabled or destroyed one third of the Russian Black Sea fleet.[7]
That being said, keep in mind that some of those ships are specialized and interdependent. Like, a seagoing fleet tug doesn’t do you nearly as much good without an aircraft carrier to tow and vice versa. So even aside from Ukraine focusing on more-valuable ships, I expect that even a random one-third of ships being lost would probably cause a greater degradation of capability than one-third.
This and the miner sweeper a day or two ago, keep it up!
