Russia continues to lose its fleet. On the night of 11 September, Ukrainian forces reportedly struck the ship "Tatarstan."
This can be seen in satellite images. The corresponding footage was published by Exilenova+.
What is known about the ship?
Project 11661 ships are built using radar cross-section reduction technology. "Tatarstan" had a number of missions in the Caspian Sea waters. These included patrolling and guarding maritime borders.
The vessel was also an important asset in countering Ukrainian drones. The ship was responsible for detecting and destroying surface, subsurface, and aerial drones.
"Tatarstan" was equipped with the Uran anti-ship missile system and the Osa-MA SAM system, designed to defend against airborne targets at short range.

Also, on 10 September, agents of the Atesh movement destroyed a communications tower near the settlement of Zhudersky in Russia’s Oryol region. As a result of the sabotage, the occupiers lost a stable signal for controlling drones in that direction.
