Description
Ropucha-class (Project 775) large landing ship damaged on 24 March 2024 by a Ukrainian R-360 Neptune anti-ship missile during the same mass strike on Sevastopol that hit sister ships Yamal and Konstantin Olshansky. Commissioned in 1990, Azov had served primarily in logistics and transport roles during the conflict. The simultaneous hits on three Ropucha-class vessels demonstrated the vulnerability of ships concentrated in port to Ukrainian precision strikes and accelerated the fleet's relocation from Sevastopol to Novorossiysk.
