The crew of the patrol boat “Island” was able to destroy a Russian cruise missile from a cannon, the Ukrainian Navy said.
The crew of the patrol boat of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on duty off the coast of the south, was one of the first to encounter a missile threat in the Mykolaiv region. The guys managed to shoot down one of the missiles heading for the territory of Ukraine. This is reported in the press service of the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The fighters were on the boat “Island”, which Ukraine received as assistance from the United States. The boat is agile and fast and allows you to pass in places where it is too shallow for large boats. The craft is equipped with American machine guns and grenade launchers.
The crew managed to hit one of the hostile targets, namely the Caliber missile.
“The boat was on duty, at a certain place they received an indication that the r * snya had made another missile launch. I made the appropriate calculations for the target. All the boats joined the hunt, because even one rocket can do big trouble. It doesn’t matter to us which crew, who it will destroy the target, the main thing is that it will not reach our territory, ”said the fighter Alexander.
The defenders say the boat they are working on is armored and the wheelhouse is lined with Kevlar.
“The f*ck that tried to swim here didn’t get further than the entrance to the estuary, she got lost.” And we haven’t heard about their cool Raptors for a long time, because the enemy has been afraid to send them here for a long time, because he knows “They won’t return 100%. We are working on different targets, like surface boats, so, let’s say, we can work out the technique of the enemy on the other side,” said Senior Commander Artem.
Ukrainian border guards in Bakhmut gave battle to the invaders and liquidated a group of “Wagnerites”. To destroy the invaders, the border guards launched a counterattack and staged a “surprise” with snipers.
In the Kherson region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed the fleet of occupiers from 7 boats, which they built and intended to land the DRG on one of the islands in the Kherson region. The “special operation” for the invaders was a failure.
