…On 4 August H I Sutton, a naval expert, reported that a Russian ship near occupied Sevastopol had begun to release a smokescreen and was then enveloped in dark smoke. In Sutton's opinion, the Russians were trying to camouflage the ship but it was nevertheless hit by a Ukrainian missile, which was why it was wrapped in smoke… Ukrainian Pravda: link |

Somehow they managed to be unclear about whether the Russians tried to use smoke to confuse an undoubtedly radar guided missile or if they used the smoke to try and hide the damage while skulking back into port. Either way Russian anti-missile defense seem to be less effective than advertised. |
