Another Russian Warship Is Burning In The Black Sea
A Russian frigate is on fire in the Black Sea after being hit by Ukrainian missiles, according to Ukrainian media.
The ship is reportedly a frigate-sized vessel, possibly the Admiral Makarov, one of Russia’s newest and most advanced frigates. The 4,000-ton vessel is one of the largest warships in Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, which is a key part of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Ukrainian news site Dumskaya (English translation here) identified the ship as a “Russian frigate project 11356P of the Burevestnik type,” a description that corresponds to Admiral Grigorovich-class vessels (also known as Krivak IVs), which includes the Admiral Makarov.
The stricken frigate is currently near Snake Island, which is about 75 miles south of Odessa. “Enemy aircraft are now circling over this area of the Black Sea, and rescue ships have come out to help the ship from the temporarily occupied Crimea,” Dumskaya said.
