Ukrainian Armed Forces shoot down enemy’s Kalibr missile from a boat in Mykolaiv region – Ukrainian Navy
The crew of the patrol boat Island managed to destroy a Russian cruise missile from a cannon, the Ukrainian Navy reported.
The crew of a patrol boat of the Ukrainian Navy, which is on duty off the southern coast, was one of the first to encounter a missile threat in Mykolaiv region. The guys managed to shoot down one of the missiles that was heading for the territory of Ukraine. This was reported by the press service of the Ukrainian Navy.
The soldiers were on the boat Island, which Ukraine received as an aid from the United States. The boat is maneuverable and fast, and allows you to pass in places that are too shallow for larger boats. The boat is equipped with American machine guns and grenade launchers.
The crew managed to hit one of the enemy targets, namely a Kalibr missile.
“The boat was on duty, and in a certain place we received an indication that the r*ssia had launched another missile. I made the appropriate calculations about the target. All the boats joined the hunt, because even one missile can cause a lot of trouble. For us, it doesn’t matter which crew, who exactly destroys the target, the main thing is that it does not reach our territory,” said fighter Oleksandr.
The defenders say that the boat they are working on is armored and has Kevlar lining in the wheelhouse.
“The r*snya (ed – russians) that tried to sail here did not get further than the entrance to the estuary, they were ‘patting themselves on the back’. And we haven’t heard about their supposedly cool Raptors for a long time, because the enemy has long been afraid to send them here, because they know they will not return for sure. We work on different targets, such as surface boats, or, for example, we can work on enemy equipment on the other side,” said Senior Commander Artem.
Ukrainian border guards in Bakhmut fought the occupiers and eliminated a group of Wagnerites. To destroy the occupiers, the border guards launched a counterattack and arranged a “surprise” with snipers.
In the Kherson region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed the occupiers’ fleet of 7 boats, which they had lined up and intended to land a subversive group on an island near Kherson. The “special operation” was a failure for the occupiers.
