Experts assess the Russian cruise missile carrier—the Rostov-on-Don—could take years and millions of dollars to repair.
In an intelligence update on September 15, the British defense ministry said that despite the Russian Ministry of Defense downplaying the damage to the vessels, open-source evidence indicates thesubmarine has likely suffered"catastrophic damage."
"Any effort to return the submarine to service is likely to take many years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars," British intelligence said. There is a realistic possibility that"the complex task of removing the wreckage from the dry docks will place them out of use for many months," the British defense ministry added in its update, noting that this would present the Black Sea Fleet with a significant challenge in sustaining fleet maintenance.
