Ukrainian boats are afraid to leave the shore
The Ukrainian Navy boats detained in the Kerch Strait and returned to Ukraine do not represent any serious combat units
Viktor Murakhovsky, editor-in-chief of Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine, spoke about this in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda.
“These are ships of the Gyurza project, developed by the Nikolaev state enterprise, once the most powerful. Yes, their purpose is to protect the river and coastal marine zones. That is, ships protecting the water area. Now the Ukrainian Naval Forces have, in fact, nothing else on the move. Their function is to protect, for example, the port of Odessa, Nikolaev and nearby territories,” said Murakhovsky.
He noted that these boats were armed with only one or two 30-mm cannons and machine guns of 14,5 mm and 7,62 mm caliber.
“Their seaworthiness is low,” the expert described the Ukrainian boats. - None at all. It starts to storm in the Black Sea - they need to immediately hide in the ports. Now American boats will come to them - they are already more serious. These are bigger ships. Although, all the same, they belong to the same class - water area security ships. In fact - the coast guard.
As PolitNavigator reported, American Navy boats installed the Russian system.
