Recall
Earlier, UNN reported that as a result of damage by Ukrainian drones, the Russian submarine "Varshavyanka" received significant damage. According to OSINT intelligence, the submarine's propeller and rudder were probably destroyed, the propeller shaft was damaged, and the stern compartment was flooded and damaged.
To replace the propeller shaft, the submarine needs a major overhaul at a shipyard. This means dismantling part of the equipment and stern ends, which also requires high precision and a long time.
UNN also reported that on the night of December 18, the tanker "Valeriy Gorchakov", which is involved in the Russian "shadow fleet", was hit in the port of Rostov-on-Don. This tanker was recorded in the waters of the occupied ports of Mariupol and Berdyansk, there are dead and wounded.
