Disabling of Russian Minesweeper 'Obukhov': Details of the Special Operation Revealed.


Ukrainian intelligence disabled a minesweeper of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Federation
The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine organized an operation to disable the minesweeper of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Federation called "Alexander Obukhov". This was stated by the representative of the GUR, Yevhen Yerin.
According to Yerin, each task is accomplished through the joint efforts of many people. This includes planning, gathering information, and working with people. He also added that the work continues even after the operation is completed and that this is only one of the steps taken by the intelligence department.
According to the GUR representative, in the video published by intelligence, it is visible how people make a hole in the engine's gas distribution system of the ship. He also noted that Ukraine is doing everything possible to ensure that the Russian fleets have sleepless nights and that the Black Sea and Baltic Sea fleets of the Russian Federation are vulnerable.
We should add that Ukrainian intelligence previously blocked another ship of the Russian Federation - the raid minesweeper "Alexander Obukhov". This ship was based in the city of Baltiysk and was supposed to be ready for combat duty. However, it sustained serious damages due to a hole in the engine's gas distribution system through which water entered.
It is worth noting that this is not the first instance where Russian ships fell into traps, particularly after the intelligence operation called "Fishing" in April 2024, the missile boat "Serpukhov" was disabled.
Previously, there was a report about an attack on the railway ferry "Akwatrader" with fuel tanks in the port "Caucasus". It should also be noted that the military sailor Goga, who calls himself an ethnic Ukrainian, set fire to the missile ship "Serpukhov" in Russia, opposing the aggression of the Russian Federation.
