The Russian Frigate ‘Admiral Makarov’ Might Be The Juiciest Target In The Black Sea

After the dramatic sinking of the missile-cruiser Moskva by a Ukrainian missile battery on April 14, the Russian Black Sea Fleet is down to just three major surface combatants. The best and most important of them might be the new missile-frigate 'Admiral Makarov.'

Seems like there are two more frigates of the same class as Admiral Makarov in black sea. But Russia is keeping them away from range of Ukranian missiles, effectively removing them from combat for now :undecided:

120 pieces of armour is low in comparison to previous weeks, and the start, they were losing many times that per week.

Russians are nowhere near completely depleted on armour. It's just they stopped attacking, and are entrenching on their own.

Most of these losses this week came from Kharkiv area, where Russians only had light motorised, and artillery. I guess, around a half of the digit.

People fighting near Kharkiv are not regular Ukrainian army, but irregulars, and militias which do not seem to coordinate much well with the rest of the military.

Nevertheless, the offence worked off well, and militias had no problem going against spread out, weaker Russian units.

But so far, this week Russian frontline units have wrapped up any concerted assault attempts. They are entrenching, and preserving their armour.

IMO Kharkiv is not a big deal because Kharkiv is near Russian border and Russian artillery can hit it from Russian soil.

I’m looking out over the next year. If Russia keeps losing armor at this rate, their military will be largely combat ineffective. The US can keep supplying Ukraine for years.
