With all due respect AJ, it was one out of 10 or 11.

If it were 25% or 50% it might put end to the threat of a coastal landing.

I though they had several based on that group that sailed from the Baltic to the Black Sea.


Russia sends 6 landing ships, sub to Black Sea, raising threat of Ukraine invasion

Now, the Russian Navy only has 3 Alligator class ships, which can hold 20 tanks.

Russia has 15 The Ropucha-class landing ships, which can hold 10 tanks.


Overall Russia had 21 landing ships but now has 20, They lost about 5% of their lift capacity,

They have a whole slew of landing craft. Those typically can only hold a single vehicle.

10 Alligator class ships were retired. Wonder if they were mothballed and if so, what condition they are in.
