He noted that in the event of serious damage to the Yamal and Azov Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, this would be a significant new loss for the Russian occupiers. Since they may have only three BDK left out of 13, which were until February 24, 2022.
The HUR reported that the Yamal BDC received critical damage. The Russians are forced to continuously pump water from the ship.
