Russian large landing craft "Orsk" with military cargo entered the port of Berdyansk for the first time
The Russian Ministry of Defense arranged the delivery of military equipment, ammunition and weapons by sea, the first Russian large landing ship "Orsk" from the Black Sea fleet.
The first information that the unloading of a large landing ship began in the port of Berdyansk, which is under the control of Russian troops, appeared on the Web. Then it became known that the large landing ship "Orsk" arrived at the port with a cargo of military equipment. It is noted that this is the first Russian landing ship to enter the port, but not the last.
So far, only one ship has arrived, but a total of ten large landing ships have been involved in the special operation, and some of them that do not take part in the Odessa operation will be involved in the transfer of military equipment, personnel and ammunition to the port of Berdyansk, since this is the shortest route and the safest on this moment. Humanitarian cargoes will also go this way.
- said one of the officers of the Black Sea Fleet.
The first flight to the port of Berdyansk delivered the BTR-82, the number is not known, but the BDK project 1171 can accommodate up to 40 armored personnel carriers or 20 tanks. Whether there were other cargoes on the ship is not known.
It should be noted that the Vostok naval base of the Ukrainian Navy was located in the port of Berdyansk, however, when Russian troops approached, Ukrainian servicemen left the city and port so hastily that all property remained in perfect order.
