and said the vessel was beyond repair due to damages sustained during the recent attack and because it's old. The Ukrainian official also called thea part of the"Syrian Express," saying it had been used to supply weapons and provide logistics to Moscow's military operations in Syria.
He noted the submarine, which is also believed to not be in a state where it cannot be restored, is believed to be the first Russian submarine lost to Ukraine's forces. The United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence on Friday said that while the Russian Ministry of Defense has been"downplaying the damage to the vessels, open-source evidence indicates thehas likely suffered catastrophic damage."
"Any effort to return the submarine to service is likely to take many years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars," the MoD wrote in the intelligence update."There is a realistic possibility that the complex task of removing the wreckage from the dry docks will place them out of use for many months. This would present the BSF [Black Sea Fleet] with a significant challenge in sustaining fleet maintenance.
