Ukrainian admiral: Our fleet will be sunk off the coast
The ships of the Ukrainian Navy will be sunk even before entering into an open maritime conflict with the Russian Federation. The ex-commander of the Ukrainian Naval Forces, Sergei Gaiduk, said this on the air of the “Issue of National Security” program, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to him, Russia’s actions in Syria have shown what can happen to Ukrainian military facilities if the Russian Federation uses aircraft and ships carrying cruise missiles.
“If we are talking about open hostilities, then, believe me, they will be conducted according to modern conditions. That is, with the use of cruise missiles and aviation.
Here we must say that the experience of the participation of Russian ships, including the Caspian Flotilla, not only the Black Sea Fleet, in the use of Caliber cruise missiles within the framework of the Syrian conflict is not optimistic for us, because the crews have experience in combat use, Therefore, in this situation, we must be ready at the beginning, if this conflict occurs, to repel missile and air strikes, and after that, talk about some actions on land that will be supported from the sea direction,” said Gaiduk.
