AFU Colonel Explains What Destroyed Russian Ship 'Pavel Derzhavin' In Sevastopol

This is a pretty serious vessel, which is a carrier of 8 Kalibras.

The Russian Black Sea Fleet ship "Pavel Derzhavin" was damaged near occupied Sevastopol. This was confirmed by the representative of the AFU Navy.

This is a fairly serious vessel, which is the carrier of 8 "Kalibrs". This was stated to "Channel 24" by military expert, flight instructor and colonel of the AFU in reserve Roman Svitan.

According to him, it is known that there was an explosion, which was heard even by Sevastopol residents. Most likely, the cause was an external influence: either a mine or a torpedo.

If a mine, then it is Russian, which they themselves dropped somewhere and now it has drifted to Sevastopol. If a torpedo, it's a Ukrainian one.

"We have guided drones, that is the same as torpedo, only guided. It is possible. I think it will be clear in the near future. However, the explosion put the ship out of action," the military expert noted.
