As a result, according to different data, 3-9 Russian ships were damaged or destroyed.

"The frigate Admiral Makarov, which is now the flagship of the fleet, was damaged. It will be on repair for at least 2 - 3 months, if there are spare parts. This is a good because it regularly shells our cities with Kalibr missiles. The attack on Vinnytsia in July was one such attack," the former deputy chief of staff of the Ukrainian Navy says.

He adds that another missile corvette with 8 Kalibr missiles on board has also been damaged. There is information about damage by an aerial drone to the minesweeper Ivan Golubets. However, this is an old ship, which is about 50 years old. Another landing ship.
