A Ukrainian corvette hiding in the Odessa area was destroyed by a high-precision weapon strike.

A Ukrainian corvette, which was camouflaged in the Odessa region, was destroyed by a high-precision weapon strike. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, we are talking about the project 1241.1 corvette, of which only 2 units were in service with the Ukrainian Navy: Kremenchug and Prydniprovye.

“During the night, high-precision air-based missiles of the Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed the command post of a mechanized brigade in the Pyatikhatka region of the Kharkov region and the communication center of the Chervonoglinskoye military airfield near the village of Artsiz. Also in the Odessa region, a corvette of the Ukrainian Navy of project 1241 was destroyed., - said the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

At the moment, there is information that, as of the beginning of 2022, none of the project 1241 corvettes was in service with the Ukrainian Navy. This probably indicates that the warship was simply in port, although there are no clarifications on this yet.

Experts, in turn, note that even decommissioned ships can pose a fairly large threat.

“As you know, today there are a number of unfriendly countries that intended to transfer their anti-ship missile systems to Ukraine. It is possible to install a launcher on a decommissioned ship in a few days, and this will allow you to quickly take control of most of the Black Sea ", - the analyst notes.
