Sucho has an update (text only, but supposedly images exist) that a Ropucha class amphibious ship is burning. I don’t know that it would be the Ukies “best” result, as I’m not sure there is much utility of a big landing craft any more. It seems unlikely it could make it to, say, Odessa, without getting popped, but, I’d still like to be a fly on the wall when Pooty gets the report.

The Ropuchas may be more significant than we think. It seems that they can’t run civilian freighters into Sebastopol anymore, so they depend on armed, agile, fast (or faster than freighters anyway) amphibious ships for this job.
