So this is a Ukrainian built Russian ship that just on its own decided to join the fight on the Ukrainian side by self-immolation
Why do they even have an anti-submarine ship in this fight? Does Ukraine have any subs?
This ship was in the seas north of Norway and Russia
I didn't think Ukraine was operating that far from home
Reading the translation it just seems like the ship can’t be maintained anymore since it was built in Ukraine.
Well now I have a new favourite type of warship: "large anti-boat ship"
It is magnificent.
Sound suicidal and apparently very effective at its job
That is pretty much the definition of a destroyer, to be fair.
Dropping like flies
Oh no! Anyway.. The Dacia Sandero!
On top of that, it might include two helicopters :
Aircraft carried : 2 x Ka-27 'Helix' series helicopters

If it's just a fire that might sink the ship, wouldn't the first course of action be to vacate all aircraft?
No, the first course of action would be to stop the fire.
I guess that depends on how big it is and what access is like around it.
Better translation (still machine generated but more coherent):
Enemy equipment is burning. More specifically, the large anti-submarine ship "Admiral Levchenko" in the Barents Sea. The fight for survivability continues, but we hope it's in vain.
This is what happens when the "superpower" receives sanctions from Ukraine and cannot service the engines produced in Mykolaiv on their own. Ten years were not enough to solve this problem. One of the installations caught fire.
Great training, guys, keep it up.
Just so you understand, there are a few hundred crew members there. Not the "Moskva," of course, but still not bad.
DeepL?
Oooh, I didn’t realize the Northern Fleet was scheduled to commission another water-permeable submarine! I hope the fish enjoy it :)
What a shame
That it hasn’t sunk yet
