Novorossiysk and Odessa... The bombing of the ports ignites the Black Sea

   The Russian port of Novorossiysk on the Black Sea announced the resumption of ship movement through it after it was suspended following the targeting of the naval base by Ukrainian forces with two motorized boats. The attack is the first on the vital Russian port since the outbreak of the war.

Commenting on the attack, which is the first of its kind, the director of the Moscow-based GCM Center for Studies, Asef Melhem, says, of course, the purpose of the Ukrainian attacks on the Russian interior, as we have emphasized more than once, is to create panic and chaos among people and divert attention from failure. faced by Ukraine in its counterattack.

And Asef Melhem adds, this time there are several new elements in this attack, and it is worth stopping at them to understand what happened and who is the beneficiary!; First: If this drone was not launched from a ship in the Black Sea, then this means that it was launched from the Ukrainian shores, meaning that the drone traveled 600-700 kilometers until it reached the port of Novorossiysk.

The director of the Moscow-based "GCM" Center for Studies indicates that hours before the accident, Natalia Gomenok, director of the Unified Ukrainian Media Center of the Southern Operations Command, stated on Telemarathon, a television program broadcast by several Ukrainian channels that Ukraine is capable of expelling the Russian fleet. From the Black Sea to the port of Novorossiysk, using the MAGURA V5 watercraft drone.

These are Ukrainian drones that can swim 800 kilometers, have an explosive mass of 200 kilograms, and cost 273,000 US dollars to manufacture them.

Another story emerged that these drones are manufactured by the French company ECA Group, which manufactures K-STER C marine drones, and these drones have been in service in the Belgian and Dutch navies since 2019. Therefore, it is likely that Ukraine relied on this French technology. In the manufacture of the MAGURA V5 drone.

And Assef Melhem confirms, during his statements to "Sky News Arabia", that there is a technology that has already been transferred to the Ukrainian interior to be used in suicide marches, which at present has become the only Kyiv card in the battle now.
