Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed a Russian submarine worth $300 million: details of the operation in Crimea.

One year ago, on August 2, Ukrainian forces struck a Russian military facility in occupied Crimea. The submarine 'Rostov-on-Don' was hit during a missile forces and Naval Forces operation.

How the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed the 'Rostov-on-Don' submarine

In an attack near Sevastopol, Ukrainian forces sank the 'Rostov-on-Don' submarine of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The strike was carried out by the missile troops and Naval Forces of Ukraine.

The attacks on Russian facilities in Crimea were accompanied by other explosions in different cities. Some experts believe that a missile ATACMS may be responsible for the destruction of the 'Rostov-on-Don'.

Military expert Volodymyr Zablotsky considers that the strike was complicated and likely was not executed with an ATACMS missile.

The ultimate genre lives and thrives — the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck at Russian military equipment in occupied Crimea. The sinking of the 'Rostov-on-Don' submarine was just one part of a complex operational action that strengthens Ukraine’s position in the region and confirms its readiness to defend its territory. This event reinforces the aggressive direction of Ukrainian policy in relations with the occupiers and enemies at the border.
