🛳️ Ukraine’s Strike Damages Russian Frigates in Caspian Sea
💣 Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence (HUR) successfully damaged two Russian Gepard-class frigates, Tatarstan and Dagestan, in the port of Kaspiysk on November 6, according to UK intelligence. The operation also reportedly damaged smaller Project 21631 vessels, marking Ukraine’s first strike against Russia’s Caspian Flotilla.
📍 The Caspian Flotilla, previously used to launch missile attacks on Ukraine, is a vital component of Russia’s naval operations. While the extent of the damage remains unclear, this strike disrupts Russia’s maritime capabilities and showcases Ukraine’s expanding reach.
🎯 The UAVs likely traversed Russian territory undetected, exposing weaknesses in Moscow’s air defenses and raising concerns for Russian leadership. With reduced naval flexibility, Russia faces increased challenges in maintaining offensive operations.
💡 This operation underscores Ukraine’s growing capability to strike deep into Russian territory, demonstrating its innovation and resilience amid escalating conflict. It further pressures Moscow, showing that no region is entirely secure from Ukrainian retaliation.
