The Minsk has almost certainly been functionally destroyed, while the Rostov has likely suffered catastrophic damage.
The loss of the Rostov removes one of the BSF's four cruise-missile capable submarines which have played a major role in striking Ukraine and projecting Russian power across the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean.
Russia now faces a hole in its air defense system in Crimea, which may have enabled Ukraine to attack the dry dock of Sevastopol Shipyard.
