Today is Day 817 of Vladimir Putin's 3-day "special operation" in Ukraine. Just to provide context, 817 days after Hitler's invasion of Poland was 26 November 1941; the US had yet to enter World War II.

So no matter how much Russia tries to hide its warships, Ukraine keeps finding them and destroying them.

The latest Russian warship to sleep with the fishes is the Kovrovets (Ковровец).

Ukraine’s Navy said on May 19 that it had “destroyed” Russian sea minesweeper Kovrovets overnight, refuting Moscow’s earlier claims of having repelled strikes on occupied Crimea. The report comes amid Ukraine’s ongoing campaign targeting the Russian Black Sea Fleet, inflicting damage on warships one after another. In April, Ukraine’s Navy had said that it struck Kommuna, a salvage ship that was launched in 1915 and is the oldest ship still in service in the Russian Navy. Earlier on May 19, Moscow claimed that it had shot down nine U.S.-provided long-range ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) missiles, and a drone over Crimea. Ukraine’s Navy has not elaborated on how the reported strike was carried out. Russian proxy official in Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev, said at around midnight that the air defense was working in the city. He said no damage to civilian infrastructure was recorded. The sea minesweeper Kovrovets, with a crew of 68 people, belongs to the Project 266 Akvamarin class, known in NATO as the Yurka class. This Soviet-origin class detects mines up to 150 meters deep and has two 30mm AK-230M naval guns with a high-resolution Lynx radar installed.

RuZZia highly likely has no cruise missile ships left in the Black Sea anymore.

On 19 May, Ukraine likely destroyed the last such vessel, the Cyclone, according to UkrainianNavy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk.

Verification is ongoing, but the probability is high.

History:

RuZZian Black Sea Fleet project 22800 Karakurt-Class Kalibr Carrier Corvette "Tsiklon" is the first Confirmed Naval Combat Ship to be Sunk by MGM-140 ATACMS Missiles.
