Ukraine attacks more Russian landing craft in Crimea, crippling naval landing operations:

Two more Russian landing craft were added on Nov. 10 to the list of Russian Black Sea Fleet ships that Ukraine has destroyed or damaged.

Officers of Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate or HUR conducted a successful overnight operation in the occupied Crimea, hitting the landing craft, which were moored near the village of Chornomorske on the Tarkhankut Peninsula in occupied Crimea.

The HUR showed a video of the destruction of two small landing craft – one a modern Serna class and the other an older Ondatra class vessel. The HUR said that at the time of the strikes the landing craft were carrying crews and loaded armored vehicles, including BTR-82 personnel carriers.

NV explains what kind of vessels they are and how Russia used them in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

In total, as the infographic below shows, since the beginning of the invasion, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have already destroyed at least seven and damaged at least 18 Russian vessels from several navies.

A fast-moving means of landing troops and equipment: what makes the Serna class boats special

The Serna amphibious assault boats (Project 11770) are a relatively new type of fast ship in the Russian fleet. They began to be built in the 1990s, and as of 2013, before the first invasion of Ukraine, Russia had built only eight of them at the shipyard in Nizhny Novgorod.

The main feature of the Serna-class amphibious assault boats is their method of locomotion via an air cavity system similar to hovercraft. Pressurized air is directed underneath the hull, forming an air bubble that isolates most of the vessel from direct contact with the water.

This “air cushion” reduces hydrodynamic drag drastically by minimizing hull friction, greatly improving the boats’ speed. The bottom has a specialized geometry such that increasing air pressure generates and maintains an air cavity that functions as an underwater air gap. With much of the hull thus insulated from the water, hydrodynamic resistance is significantly reduced, enabling far higher speeds than comparable landing craft. —>READ MORE HERE
