There were unconfirmed rumors a few weeks ago of a Pr. 22160 being hit by a USV but no proof. Now to temper expectations, this could just be regular maintenance (only time will tell). I'll be watching
I was reviewing the Sentinel 2📸 (10M) today of Novorossiysk & something caught my eye. In the floating dry dock (just north of the naval base), there appeared to be a ~92M military looking vessel. High res confirms it as a Pr. 22160.
A quick look at the Yantar Shipyards (34km East) provided the vessel I was looking for. Last time, the Admiral Grigorovich was in the dry dock and this time she is alongside. Another Neustrashimy is there as well + some scrap...
Definitely a repositioning of the KALIBR shooters to Novorossiysk. Sevastopol still had a good amount of vessels as of Oct 2, 2023.
thanks for the invite!
Some constructive feedback for the 🇷🇺painters Positive: Pretty close on the dimensions, just a bit long on the length but wingspan was spot on Negative: Width of the wings was botched. It looks like a hybrid Tu-95/Il-76 or maybe a Tu-76 You can't make this stuff up
