Thus, according to the confirmed information of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on August 2, units of the missile forces, in cooperation with units of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, significantly damaged 4 launchers of the "Triumph" air defense system.

Also, in the port of Sevastopol, the submarine of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation "Rostov-on-Don" was successfully attacked.

As a result of the hit, the boat sank on the spot.

Submarine B-237 "Rostov-on-Don" (according to NATO classification — Kilo class) is one of the four submarines of the "Kilo" class capable of using Kalibr missiles. "Rostov-on-Don" was put into operation on 26 December 2014.

On September 13, 2023, as a result of a Ukrainian missile attack, the ship was seriously damaged. In the future, it was repaired and tested in the water area of the Sevastopol harbor. The cost of the submarine is estimated at 300 million dollars.

The destruction of "Rostov-on-Don" once again proves that there is no safe place for the Russian fleet in the Ukrainian territorial waters of the Black Sea. We thank the Ukrainian soldiers for their professional work!
