Update:
" Preliminarily, the large patrol ship "Pavlo Derzhavin" of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation blew up on a Russian mine during the external raid of Sevastopol", - Odesa Speaker OVA Bratchuk
Original:
💥 Sources from the temporarily occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea report that a few hours ago in the roadstead of Sevastopol, for an as yet unknown reason, the large patrol ship Pavel Derzhavin was blown up.
It is not yet clear what happened. Either a missile strike, or an air or sea drone strike, or just someone having a bad smoke.
What is known about the “victim”:
▪️The patrol ship "Pavel Derzhavin" was laid down on 02/18/2016 at the Zelenodolsk Shipyard named after. A.M. Gorky (serial number 163). Further construction was carried out at the Zaliv shipyard in Kerch.
▪️Launched 02/21/2019
▪️27.11.2020 in Novorossiysk, a ceremony of raising the naval flag took place on the ship, and the patrol ship "Pavel Derzhavin" was accepted into the Black Sea Fleet.
▪️During the full-scale war in Ukraine in June 2022, the ship “strengthened its armament with the Tor-M2KM anti-aircraft missile system installed on the runway.”
In Russia there are only four such corvettes on the water - “Vasily Bykov”, “Dmitry Rogachev”, “Pavel Derzhavin” and “Sergey Kotov”.
Say hello to “Moscow”, “Derzhavin”!
Russian warship, go f*** yourself
A Russian coral reef now. That will provide shelter for sea life for decades to come.

It's called an immoral reef, FYI
~I’m assuming that the warships are nuclear wessels.
That means we’re getting Simpsons style three eyed fish.~
My dreams have sunk alongside this warship.
In general, only submarines and aircraft carriers are nuclear powered, plus a small number of Soviet ice breakers, and even fewer research vessels, now decommissioned. In case of Russia even their aircraft carrier is fossil-fuel powered, and generally just a joke.
The US and USSR had nuclear cruisers but all have been decommissioned.
Ah, thanks for the additional info, I didn't know that.
Not really. Water is an incredible radiation shield.
Nope, 2x 6000hp diesels for main propulsion.
Electrical power produced by 4x diesel generators + 1 emergency diesel generator.
Watching this fleet get systematically dismantled has been hilarious to me.

As is tradition for the Russian navy.
Bet the dumbfucks ran into their own mine

And build stronger windows
some of their staircases must be pretty tricky, i think the General who was head of their entire Air Force maybe fell down one
first laid down in 2016 and launched in 2019, damn that's not something they were keen to lose… but i guess Pavel had just seen enough of the Russian Navy and decided to take the quick way out… we understand, Pavel…
This has smoking accident written all over it.
Now they also mark their ships with giant red crosses. No wonder they are loosing this war.
Hoisted by their own petard.
Haven't seen any major news outlet reporting on this - we have any credible confirmation yet?
Nothing besides possible satellite photos
Damn smokers
@Wilshire Well that would be a real shame 🙂
