On February 14, the Ukrainian state news agency released a news that shocked the world: the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, in close cooperation with various departments of the army, successfully sank the large landing ship "Kaiser Kunikov" of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. This action not only demonstrates the fighting will and combat capability of the Ukrainian army, but also once again arouses widespread concern from the international community about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the mission was carefully planned and carried out by the 13th special forces unit of the Directorate. In the waters off Alupka, Crimea, the Ukrainian army used advanced unmanned boat technology to carry out a precision strike on the "Kaiser Kunikov". The Russian landing ship was unsuspected, and the port side was hit by the ** object carried by the unmanned boat, a huge hole appeared, and the sea water quickly poured in, and the hull began to sink. Throughout the process, the Ukrainian army has demonstrated superb tactical use and precise strike capabilities.
It is worth mentioning that this operation did not come without warning. Before the operation, there was already news from the Russian military network** that the "Kaiser Kunikov" was likely to encounter an accident in the new wave of attacks by the Ukrainian army. However, the Russian side does not seem to have been sufficiently vigilant and prepared for this, making this important landing ship a target for the Ukrainian army.
Regarding this incident, Russian press secretary Dmitry Peskov behaved quite cautiously in an interview with journalists. He did not directly confirm whether the "Caesar Kunikov" had been sunk by the Ukrainian army, but pushed the problem to the Russian Ministry of Defense and suggested that reporters consult the Ministry of Defense about the situation. This ambiguous attitude may be due to a lack of grasp of the real situation of the incident, or it may be due to consideration of **.
For Ukraine, the sinking of the "Kaiser Kunikov" is undoubtedly a major victory. This is not only a blow to Russia's military power, but also a great boost to the morale of the Ukrainian army. However, this victory does not mean that Ukraine can rest easy. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is still in a stalemate, and both sides are fighting for superiority on the battlefield.
For Russia, the sinking of the "Caesar Kunikov" was undoubtedly a huge blow. The landing ship is an important component of the Russian Black Sea Fleet and has a significant role for its military operations in the region. However, as the war continues and the Ukrainian army continues to fight back, Russia's advantage on the battlefield is gradually eroding. Russia needs to seriously reflect on its strategy and tactics and take more effective measures to respond to Ukraine's counterattack.
