The consequences of a strike against the invaders are clearly visible from space.

Radio Liberty reports this.

“According to my information, on November 4, at the time of the explosions, there was only one ship in Kerch capable of carrying Caliber class missiles, namely the Askold. I think that this ship, as we see, was docked, they were finishing the work, because it should have been ready by December,” Ukrainian Navy reserve Captain First Rank Andriy Ryzhenko said.

Also, Ryzhenko added that the upper part of the Askold is noticeably damaged, but it remains afloat for now.

Askold

Askold is a small missile ship of the 22800 Karakurt type. It is capable of carrying up to 8 Caliber missiles. The defeat of such a ship, as Ryzhenko explained, is important for the security of Ukraine.
