The defeat of the Rostov-on-Don submarine: British intelligence analyzes the consequences
Kyiv • UNN
On August 3, Ukraine attacked Crimea, allegedly sinking the Russian submarine Rostov-on-Don. British intelligence believes that the attack will force Russia to reconsider plans to deploy significant naval forces on the peninsula.
Ukraine's sinking of the Russian submarine Rostov-on-Don underscores the growing risks to Russian forces in Crimea. The attack will force Russia to reconsider plans to deploy significant naval forces on the peninsula, according to a new intelligence-based report by the UK Ministry of Defense, UNN reports.
Details
The report states that on August 3, a Kilo-class submarine of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Rostov-on-Don, was sunk with a high degree of probability as a result of Ukraine's attack on Crimea. Despite the fact that the attack was carried out with the help of drones, the attack on Sevastopol was most likely carried out with the use of ATACMS, according to British intelligence.
They also added that the submarine was most likely not fully repaired after the previous attack on Crimea in September 2023.
This latest attack will almost certainly be the last chapter for the submarine, as it is likely to be more cost-effective to build a replacement than to rebuild and repair it
However, the British Ministry of Defense believes that it is unlikely that the sinking of the boat will have any significant impact on Russian long-range naval strikes against Ukraine from the Black Sea Fleet. "However, this strike highlights the growing risks to Russian forces in Crimea and is likely to force Russia to reconsider any plans to redeploy significant naval forces to the peninsula," the British Ministry of Defense summarized.
Recall
The Ukrainian Defense Forces struck at the Russian Black Sea Fleet submarine Rostov-on-Don and the enemy's S-400 anti-aircraft missile system in the temporarily occupied Crimea. The boat sank on the spot.
