In Kyiv they are crying that one Russian ship will bury the entire “mosquito fleet” of Ukraine
The entire Ukrainian “mosquito fleet”, which is currently being created in Ukraine through the efforts of an enterprise controlled by President Petro Poroshenko, can be destroyed in one salvo.
Ukrainian military expert Oleg Zhdanov stated this on air on Crimea.Realities radio, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to him, modern warships are capable of hitting up to 15 targets simultaneously, so Ukraine’s “mosquito fleet”, consisting of small artillery ships, is a utopia.
I don’t take the “Mosquito Fleet” seriously at all, because it is a utopian idea. If we are a maritime power, then, indeed, we need to think about the composition of the fleet and start building it, and not tell fairy tales about the “mosquito fleet.” It's like Somali pirates rowing at big ships. It will be about the same. Modern multi-purpose ships have many target channels, have the ability to simultaneously hit up to 10-15 targets, escort up to 30 targets and a “mosquito fleet” today is a utopia,” the expert said.
“We need to build multi-purpose ships that will resist the same Black Sea Fleet,” which, by the way, is the weakest of all the fleets of the Russian Federation, since there are no ships with nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons,” Zhdanov said.
As PolitNavigator reported, Ukraine stated that the "mosquito fleet" it is creating will provide an advantage in its confrontation with the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
In Kyiv , they are complaining that one Russian ship will bury Ukraine's entire "mosquito fleet."
