According to the press service of the Ukrainian Navy, yesterday the frigate “Getman Sahaidachny” discovered the patrol ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet “Ladny” near the territorial waters, which was allegedly conducting reconnaissance, and also, being drifting, was on the recommended route of civilian ships, “which created a threat to the safety of navigation.”
“In order to stop the daring activities on the part of the ship of the aggressor country, the duty forces of the fleet were brought to an increased degree of readiness, the Ukrainian Navy missile boat Priluki and the base minesweeper Genichesk additionally went to sea, and a Mi-14 helicopter took to the sky. The State Border Service of Ukraine also additionally sent the maritime guard ship “Nikolaev” to the sea. The Russian ship was “guided” by radio technical posts of the coastal tracking system,” the press service notes.
Such an impressive group, according to the Ukrainian Navy, forced the Russian ship to leave: “Soon the Ladny, thanks to the decisive and coordinated actions of domestic sailors and sea border guards, was forced to abandon the implementation of its unfriendly plans, and set off in the opposite direction from the Ukrainian coast.” .
The flagship of the Ukrainian Navy, Hetman Sahaidachny, which discovered the patrol ship “Ladny”, was previously based in Sevastopol, but in 2014 the crew refused to go over to the side of the people of Crimea, swearing allegiance to the participants in the coup in Kyiv. The frigate had to flee from the Russian cruiser Moskva.
“To avoid a meeting with “Moscow”, “Hetman Sagaidachny” went to Odessa through the territorial waters of Bulgaria... Through maneuvering actions, “Sagaidachny” broke away and arrived in Odessa at breakneck speed,” said the frigate’s press officer Pavel Parfenok.
