Media: The "Tatarstan," The Flagship Of The Caspian Flotilla, Has Been Hit

The flagship was struck by a drone for the first time in 2024.

Drones attacked the port of Kaspiysk and struck the ship “Tatarstan” of the Russian Navy, according to online reports. The “Tatarstan” is the flagship of the Caspian Flotilla, which was first struck by a drone in 2024.

Drones attacked the flagship of the Caspian Flotilla, the “Tatarstan,” on the night of September 11, according to the Telegram channel Exilenova+. The ship is equipped with weapons designed to shoot down aerial targets, such as the “Uran” anti-ship missile system and the “Osa-MA” air defense system, but this did not protect the vessel in the Caspian Sea.

Information about the damage to the “Tatarstan” appeared online on the evening of September 11. A satellite photo of the ship at the pier in Kaspiysk was published on the channel.

The “Tatarstan” is a Project 11661 “Cheetah”-class patrol ship of the Russian Federation’s Caspian Flotilla, based in the port of Kaspiysk in Dagestan, 1,000 km from Ukraine. Ships of this class are built at the “A. M. Gorky Zelenodolsk Shipyard” and are designed to combat submarine, surface, and air targets, as well as for patrolling and escort duties. The “Tatarstan” is equipped with artillery, anti-ship, anti-aircraft, and anti-submarine weapons. Key specifications: length 100 m, width 13 m, speed up to 52 km/h, crew of 109.

The previous attack on the “Tatarstan” occurred on November 4, 2024. The resistance group’s “Crimean Wind” channel reported a possible strike that may have been carried out by an A-22 drone. Video from the scene shows gunfire, an aircraft-type UAV in flight, the strike, and a cloud of fire and smoke.
