Update on the Russian flagship frigate attacked in Sevastopol on October 29

Russian Admiral Makarov frigate’s starboard side likely damaged, says OSINT analyst

The Admiral Makarov, a frigate of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, has been moored in a port near Sevastopol in occupied Crimea and has likely suffered damage to its starboard side, OSINT analyst Benjamin Pittet wrote on Twitter on Nov. 2.

“Satellite images taken yesterday at 05:35 and 11:06 UTC show the two Admiral Grigorovich class frigates currently deployed in the Black Sea moored in port,” he tweeted.

Several experts assume that one of these frigates is the Admiral Makarov, the current flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, while the other one is the Admiral Essen.

According to experts, the Admiral Makarov is moored with its starboard side parallel to the dock so that damage can not only be repaired but also hidden from view.

Maybe I am thinking forward to the time Russian navy will finally start losing to a country that actually has a navy.
