Ukrainian forces strike Russian missile corvette 620 miles away

For many months, Ukrainians have been increasingly bold in attacking areas hundreds of miles away from the front line. This is primarily due to the significant development of the Ukrainian army's offensive capabilities in recent years through the implementation of increasingly powerful tools.

Further attacks on valuable facilities used by Russian Federation forces confirm that the Ukrainians possess drones capable of striking as far as 620 miles from the front line. This is the distance the drone had to travel to hit the Caspian Port near the Caspian Sea.

A video captured the moment the unmanned vehicle hit one of the vessels in the port. A powerful explosion accompanied the strike, but the exact losses suffered by the Russians due to the attack are not known. As reported on the OSINT Technical profile on platform X, the Ukrainian drone is believed to have struck the Project 1234 missile corvette (NATO code: Nanuchka).

The history of this targeted vessel dates back to the 1960s when the USSR needed small missile ships, primarily for strike purposes.

The Nanuchka has a maximum displacement of 770 tons and a standard displacement of 670 tons. It is nearly 200 feet long and just under 39 feet wide. The propulsion system consists of three diesel engines with a total power of 30,000 HP. The engines drive three propellers, which can accelerate the Corvette to a speed of 35 knots, or about 40 mph.

The armament of the Project 1234 ship consists of six P-120 anti-ship missiles and a dual-launcher for Osa-M anti-aircraft missiles. It also includes a 57 mm gun for striking smaller objects.
