The big news today is that the Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb system will be delivered to Ukraine shortly. This missile has a range of 150 km, about twice that of HIMARS.

x Boeing/Saab is on track to supply Ukraine with GLSDB long-range bombs.



"We are on track to deliver the first GLSDB and a new launcher to the Ukrainian military," a company official said. Ukraine is expected to receive them somewhere in autumn. https://t.co/eOXXqui1mn — NOELREPORTS 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@NOELreports) October 13, 2023

And two more ships of the Black Sea Fleet have been attacked. There is also an update on the Pavel Derzhavin patrol ship that supposedly hit a mine yesterday. A tug boat sent to aid it was damaged by a second explosion. A cruiser that fires Caliber cruise missiles was reported to be burning at Sevastopol.

This info is from Russian military blogger Rybar. He says this was from underwater Ukrainian drones.

About an hour ago, while leaving Sevastopol Bay, Ukrainian formations attacked the Project 22160 patrol ship "Pavel Derzhavin". Unfortunately, the ship received damage to the rudder group. To provide assistance, a tug was sent to the Derzhavin, which was also attacked by the enemy. The ships remained afloat, but the extent of the damage is unknown. What is curious about this situation is that the epicenter of the explosion was under water. This may indicate the use of fully submersible unmanned attack boats. This explains the absence of any opposition from the ship's crew (they were not noticed), as well as the passage of sea drones through the booms. Moreover, the Ukrainian Armed Forces already have drones of this type.

Preliminarily, it's a small missile ship of project 21631 "Buyan-M" – a carrier of "Kalibr" missiles.

If getting run over didn’t kill him, the mine surely did.
