Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed the Russian ship "Novocherkassk" in Feodosia, Crimea, on December 26, 2023.
The attack utilized SCALP-EG missiles with low-altitude flight profiles, avoiding detection by S-400 "Triumph," S-300V4, and "Buk-M3" radar positioned in lowlands north of the Crimean Mountains. American and British RQ-4B "Global Hawk" UAVs detected anti-aircraft missile systems in advance, influencing missile flight routes.
Video evidence showed a fire and powerful detonation, raising concerns about explosive cargo.
Russian ships like Novocherkassk were repurposed for transporting goods and equipment due to a lack of amphibious operation tasks.
