Russian-Georgian naval clash. South Ossetia war (2008)

Sea battle off the coast of Abkhazia.

On the evening of 10 August a naval skirmish between Russian and Georgian forces took place. The Russian Nanuchka III class corvette Mirazh (Mirage) probably sank one Georgian patrol cutter with two Malakhit (SS-N-9) anti-ship missiles. This was the Russian Navy's first real sea battle since 1945. The Russians claimed that Georgian ships had violated the security zone of the Black Sea Fleet and therefore the action was in self-defense in accordance with international law. Following the action, the remaining Georgian ships withdrew to a nearby harbour.

@ripacipa Малахиты разрабатывались для того чтобы нести ядреную боеголовку, а не по моторкам грузинским палить:-) Стартовый вес ракеты 5400 кг. Метнуть пять тонн это же не шутка.
