Indications are that #Russian Navy KILO class submarine has been hit by #Ukraine in Sevastopol. Unconfirmed at this stage.
This is a big deal.

I have y had time for a full analysis but this KILO looks like a Pr.636.3 Improved-KILO. Russia has 4 in the Black Sea, plus a single Pr.877 KILO, Alrosa. Alrosa (see reference photo) has a pump jet.

A lot of focus on ships sunk, but something not being discussed - the potential damage to the drydock.
