A Russian frigate, probably lined up by the Ukrainian Neptune, is burning near Smiinyi Island. The information is being checked by four NATO spies – the social media

The Odesa edition “Dumskaya”, as well as defence-ua, reports this.

It is noted that according to the Flightradar service, two long-range radar detection aircrafts Boeing E-3A Sentry, another RC-135W DRL aircraft and one RQ-4 Global Hawk drone are currently conducting reconnaissance to confirm the Russian frigate. They are all subordinate to NATO spies.

Defence-ua noted that the Boeing E-3A Sentry "just looked carefully" into the Black Sea, the RC-135W and RQ-4 Global Hawk fly directly over it – and the latter "wound" more than one circle.

Earlier it was reported there was an explosion with further combustion on board of the Russian frigate of the Admiral Makarov Petrel Project 11356R, which is located near the Zmiinyi Island.

According to “Dumskaya”, Russian aircraft are currently circling over this area of the Black Sea. In addition, Russian rescue ships came to the aid of the ship from the temporarily occupied Crimea.

Information about the explosion on the ship appeared on social networks last night. Today "Dumskaya" received confirmation of it. In addition, the burning of the Russian ship was recorded by a satellite.

Besides, the people's deputy Oleksiy Goncharenko reported about damage of the Russian ship on Telegram. He hinted that the enemy ship shot the anti-ship missile system "Neptune" of the Ukrainian Navy.

“There is such an “Admiral Makarov “, he has another “brother” – “Admiral Essen”. Man and ship. He was very ill. Again, the god of the sea punished these villains. And another Russian warship did not fully go where it was needed, but it received enough and, I hope, will soon also go where it is needed,” Goncharenko said.

In addition, the Kremlin declined to comment on the news of the frigate fire.

According to an UNIAN correspondent, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov answered questions about the incident in the Black Sea:

“We don’t have such information”.

For the record:

Project 11356 frigates are the most modern warships in the Black Sea Fleet. Each such ship can carry up to 8 cruise missiles of the "Caliber" type. In addition, after the liquidation of "Moscow", the frigates of the project 11356 became the leading ships with the most powerful air defense in the Black Sea Fleet.

As it became clear on the example of the cruiser "Moscow", the shot frigate can burn for several days before finally going to the bottom.
