DIU revealed the details of the hitting "Serpukhov" Russian missile ship
Given the losses of the Black Sea Fleet, such compensation scenarios are considered by the enemy. But overturning ships is quite complicated. Turkey does not let warships pass. There are other logistical ways, but they are cumbersome and lengthy.

According to the DIU representative, the fact that the ship burned out means that the ship remains afloat, but the modern technological equipment is out of order, damaged, and it will take a long time to repair the ship.
The DIU representative added that there are no safe places for military facilities on the Russian Federation's territory.
In any case, the expansion of the actual theater of operations for Russian fleets is good news, Yusov said.
