Units of the Ukrainian Navy successfully destroyed three enemy 'SHAHED-136' kamikaze drones during a night air attack by Russian occupiers. The command noted the high skill and professionalism of the military who continue to defend Ukraine.

The new Ukrainian corvette Ivan Vyhovsky will have 50% more weapons than the base model. It will be equipped with systems to combat surface and airborne drones, and will also serve as a drone carrier.

The launching ceremony of the second Ukrainian Ada-class corvette Hetman Ivan Vyhovsky (F-212) took place at RMK Marine shipyard in Istanbul. This is the second corvette built in Turkey for Ukraine.

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the start of naval exercises in the areas of the Northern, Pacific, Baltic Fleets and the Caspian Flotilla. 300 ships, 50 aircraft and 20,000 servicemen will participate.

The Ukrainian Navy spokesperson expressed “regret” that Russia did not hold a parade on the occasion of the Navy Day in the Black Sea. He noted that Ukraine could have joined the parade with naval drones.

After the destruction of the slavyanin ferry in the kavkaz port, the occupiers may try to increase the load on the Crimean bridge in an attempt to solve logistical problems.

The Ukrainian Navy reports the presence of three Russian submarines in the Black Sea. They carry up to 12 Kalibr cruise missiles and could pose a threat.

russia is unable to patrol the entire area around the Kerch Bridge with naval forces. The occupiers are forced to narrow the passage and rely on aviation for patrolling and anti-drone warfare.

The Ukrainian Navy spokesperson said that the effectiveness of Russian Kalibr missiles is questionable, as their hit rate reaches 100%. There is a Russian submarine in the Black Sea with 4 such missiles on board.

The Ukrainian Navy attacked the Russian ferry Slavyanin in the port of Kavkaz. This disrupted the military logistics of the occupiers in Crimea and southern Ukraine, depriving the Sea of Azov of Russian warships.

Only one russian submarine remains in the Black Sea. The Sea of Azov is under full fire control of Ukraine, says Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk.

Over the last day, 103 combat engagements were registered in the frontline. The most intense fighting is taking place in the Pokrovsk sector, with attacks intensifying in the Kurakhove and Vremivsk sectors.

Ukraine damaged the Russian ferry Slavyanin in the port of Kavkaz. This will complicate the supply of the occupation forces in southern Ukraine and the export of liquefied natural gas, forcing Russia to risk transporting fuel across the Kerch Bridge.

A spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy said that the occupied Crimea is in a vulnerable position and could become an island. Families of Russian military and special services are already leaving the peninsula, and Ukraine has a plan to return it.

There is one enemy ship on duty in the Black Sea, which is a Kalibr carrier, while there are no Russian ships in the Sea of Azov.

The Ukrainian Navy spokesman said that there are no more Russian warships in the Sea of Azov. In the morning of July 24, two Russian ships were there, without missile carriers.

The Ukrainian military caused significant damage to the enemy ferry Slavyanin in the port of Kavkaz. This was the third and last railroad ferry used by Russia for military purposes in the region.

The occupiers continue to build up the defense of the Kerch Bridge, installing more than 30 barges.

Ukrainian Navy spokesman says that Russia dominates the air over the Black Sea, but it is temporary. Russia has not abandoned its plans to seize the Ukrainian coast, but is forced to hide ships in Novorossiysk.

The Ukrainian Navy destroyed 28 Russian ships, including a submarine, three missile carriers, and two new ships representing all classes from a flagship missile cruiser to missile boats and patrol ships, significantly reducing Russia's naval capabilities in the Black Sea.

The last patrol ship of the Russian Navy left the occupied Crimea and entered the base in Novorossiysk, probably the Ladny ship, while only auxiliary vessels without main weapons and 5 large landing ships undergoing repairs remain in Crimea.

The commander of the Ukrainian Navy was detained for receiving bribes of up to UAH 150,000 per month from his subordinates for granting them shore leave.

The last patrol ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet left the occupied Crimea on July 15, a Ukrainian Navy spokesman said.

There are no Russian ships on combat duty in the Black Sea, but there are 3 ships in the Sea of Azov without Kalibr cruise missiles, according to the Ukrainian Navy.

Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk says that although the Russians are trying to create unified silos to launch both Kalibr and the more dangerous Oniks missiles, there are currently no ships in the Azov-Black Sea region capable of launching both missiles.

Norway will provide Ukraine with spare parts for Sea King helicopters to support the operation and maintenance of the helicopters donated by Germany.

According to Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk, the Russian Black Sea Fleet was not ready for a long war due to the lack of necessary infrastructure and logistics.

The Russian frigate Admiral Makarov fired cruise missiles from the Black Sea during yesterday's massive attack by Russian troops that killed 4 children and wounded 12 others.

Russia has 1 ship with Kalibr cruise missiles in the Black Sea and 3 ships without cruise missiles in the Sea of Azov.

Zelenskyy met with Dutch ministers in Odesa to discuss military aid, including F-16s and air defense support, amid Russian attacks on the city.
