The Russian Black Sea Fleet has lost another ship. But this could have been avoided
Unfortunately, we have to admit that our forecast that Russia will continue to lose the Black Sea Fleet is coming true. Last night, sea drones attacked the Ivanovets missile boat (project 1241 Molniya).
According to our information, “Ivanovets” was attacked in the roadstead of Lake Donuzlav, near Evpatoria. Alas, we are forced to confirm the information about the sinking of the ship. At this point, three sailors are known to have died, and two more are considered missing. Fortunately, the rest of the crew were saved.
Sources in the fleet said that although the Ivanovets was equipped with electronic warfare systems, they were turned off at the time of the attack. Moreover, the boat crew did not have access to thermal imagers.
“There was one thermal imager for the entire boat, and that one was in the ship’s captain’s safe,” the interlocutors say.
Most of the crew members were saved thanks to the coordinated actions of sailors from other ships. The fact is that the outbreak was very serious, which made it possible to quickly notice it and rush to help, says one of the participants in the rescue operation.
Our interlocutors in the fleet told us that the Ivanovets was attacked by at least dozens of naval drones. The problem was that the drones were of different modifications and communication with them was at different frequencies.
It is for this reason that some of them were drowned out, while others, alas, reached their target.
“It seems that this was some kind of competition to see whose drone would be the first to reach the target and cause damage,” complains an interlocutor from among the senior officers of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
Unfortunately, sources agree that Ukraine has made great progress in the use of maritime drones over the past two years. And this causes serious problems for the classic fleet. During an attack, ships could simply move away from the drones at speed, but detection often occurs too late.
It is also obvious that the presence of serious electronic warfare systems would have made it possible to avoid the loss of the boat.
100% ruzzian disinformation for ruzzian consumption.
Yes, we lost a boat, but most of the crew was saved.

It appears in the video that ruzzia's CIWS is ineffective against USVs.
