Description
KS-701 Tunets-class patrol boat destroyed on 13 September 2023 by Ukrainian naval aviation in the Black Sea. The loss occurred on the same night as the devastating Storm Shadow cruise missile strike on Sevmorzavod shipyard in Sevastopol that destroyed the landing ship Minsk and damaged the submarine Rostov-on-Don. The small Tunets-class boats serve as coast guard and patrol vessels. Multiple Tunets-class boats were lost during the conflict as Ukrainian forces systematically targeted Russian naval assets across the Black Sea.
