Two Russian warships hit by Storm Shadow missiles as dramatic vid shows massive Ukrainian strike on Crimea

Enormous infernos ripped through the night sky in the occupied port city of Sevastopol.

And as dawn broke this morning, Ukrainian forces announced they had hit two large Russian warships- Yamal and Azov.

Both damaged vessels are Ropucha-class landing ships, 370ft long, 4,000 ton behemoths designed for D-Day-style amphibious assaults.

Ukraine has attacked this type of ship before - sinking sister ships Tsezar Kunikov and Novocherkassk.

Kyiv is reported to have used British Storm Shadow missiles in the strike - 600mph long-range weapons which have proved effective against the Russians.

Putin's crony in Crimea, Mikhail Razvozhaev, was forced to admit the Russian military fought off Ukrainian rockets in a "massive attack" on Saturday.

Local reports said the barrage had also targeted the Belbek military airfield - home to Putin's prized fighter jet fleet.

Ukraine's daring hit comes as the latest embarrassment to embattled Putin's war effort - possibly striking land, air and sea via Putin's Black Sea Fleet comms centre.

The centre of the naval port was left "on fire", according to witnesses.

A Crimea Telegram channel said: "The missiles arrived at the main special communications center of the Russian Black Sea Fleet".

Ukrainian missiles have also reportedly hit several buildings in the occupied region...

Ukraine has had great success chipping away at Vlad's prized Black Sea Fleet, and in September they used the missiles along with explosive-packed drone boats to damage two key Russian ships...

No, my positition is the Ukraine is the heart of many evils, as witnessed by the statements of George Sore-Ass and others that “Democracy” fails if it falls.
It’s a gigantic money laundering operation, and doubtless the home of many other evils.

The median age of a Ukrainian soldier is 42. Demographically Ukraine is witnessing the eradication of a generation. Over 12 million have left the country as refugees, many never to return.

Ukraine was one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in Europe before the war. The war has made things even worse.

Not argument. If Russians had a proxy to pull the save on Pearl Harbor today, they would be much more effective.
