After Russia launched a special military operation against Ukraine, Russia has declared that the Ukrainian Navy is in a state of total annihilation, on March 4, according to official Ukrainian news, the Ukrainian Navy flagship "Getman-Sagaidakine" missile frigate has been sunk in the water, causing the Ukrainian Navy flagship to sink in the water due to the Ukrainian side's self-destruction, according to Ukraine, they do not want this naval flagship to fall into the hands of the Russian army, although Ukraine has a good word, Although it is called the flagship of the Ukrainian Navy, the "Getman-Sagaidaknyny" is only a border patrol ship of the former Soviet Union era, but it has become the number one main battleship in the hands of the Ukrainian Navy, in addition to the Ukrainian Navy has a 1200-ton small anti-submarine ship, 6 50-ton patrol boats, such combat capabilities.
On March 1, 2014, the Ukrainian Navy guided-missile frigate "Getman-Sagaidachne" revolted against Russia, which was also related to the situation on the Crimean Peninsula at that time, and it is reported that the captain of this frigate directly raised the flag of the Russian Navy and refused to obey orders from Kiev, which in early March 2014, Arriving at the port of Sevastopol at the southwestern tip of the Crimean Peninsula, it returned to Ukraine on 5 March, where the Ukrainian side claimed that the ship had never fallen to Russia.
Previously, it was also pointed out that the sinking of the frigate "Gertman-Sagaidakinei" was inherited by Russia when it launched a strike on the Osad naval base, but now the news released by Ukraine has clearly pointed out that this warship was sunk by the Ukrainian Navy itself, during the special military operation, the Ukrainian side actually has part of the military force to participate in the battle with the Russian army, but due to the crazy actions of the Ukrainian side, the military strength of Ukraine is destroyed in its own hands. In addition to the sinking of the frigate, a Su-27 fighter aircraft belonging to the Ukrainian Air Force took off urgently after the battle began to go to neighboring Romania, which was returned to Ukraine in a weapon-free state after allowing the plane to land, and Ukrainian beech missiles also destroyed one of its own Su-27 fighter jets.
Self-destruction weapons in Ukraine have long been the norm, and after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, Ukraine also inherited some of the mantle of the Soviet era, when the Ukrainian Air Force had 1500 combat aircraft, including 42 Tu-95MS strategic bombers and Tu-160 supersonic strategic bombers. In addition to some of these bombers being paid off to Russia, the Ukrainian Air Force also dismantled them all on its own, so today the Ukrainian Air Force does not even have a strategic bomber.
Although Russia and Ukraine are both republics of the former Soviet Union, and both sides have made extensive use of soviet-era weapons and equipment in the war, it is clear that Russia is superior, on the one hand, because Russia has subsequently modified its weapons and equipment, and on the other hand, Russia is also trying to carry out updated weapons research and development, including the Su-35 fighter based on the Development of the Su-27.
