Posted [0] on March 6th sounds like significantly more than temporarily disabled
Ukraine’s military on Tuesday claimed another successful attack on a Russian warship, marking the latest in a string of naval defeats for Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet that Kyiv says has reduced its numbers by more than a third since the start of the war.
The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine said maritime drones operated by its Group 13 special unit struck and sank the 1,300-ton Russian patrol ship Sergei Kotov in the Black Sea, near the Kerch Strait that separates occupied Crimea from the coast of southwest Russia.
“As a result of the strike by Magura V5 maritime drones, the Russian ship Project 22160 ‘Sergei Kotov’ sustained damage to the stern, starboard and port sides,” sparking a fire aboard the vessel, a statement said. The military later confirmed the ship had sunk.

- 93po 3y agoMy point is that I haven't heard of any instance of a ship being irreparably damaged. They were of course taken out of commission and had to be towed back

- onlypassingthru 3y agoAny basic search will provide you with examples of Russian ships headed to Davy Jones locker, but here's a nice satellite image of one for your reference. Fortunately, they didn't have to tow this landing ship very far as it was already in port.[0] [0]https://news.usni.org/2022/03/25/satellite-images-confirm-russian-navy-landing-ship-was-sunk-at-berdyansk https://news.usni.org/2022/03/25/satellite-images-confirm-ru...
- mopsi 3y agoThen you clearly haven't been paying attention. For example, this video shows Feb 1 attack on corvette Ivanovets. Ukrainians drove one naval drone after another into the ship until its ammo exploded and it sank stern first, all captured on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHFlqgCyElo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHFlqgCyElo
