Quote: "The operation was made possible with the support of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the United24 platform.

The enemy vessel was on the roadstead of Lake Donuzlav in temporarily occupied Crimea.

As a result of a number of direct strikes to the hull, the Russian vessel sustained critical damage causing immobilisation – it heaved aft and sank."

    As outdated and poorly maintained as they may be; that is one less weapon in an evil mans arsenal. Great! Hopefully the henchmen had a bad day.

      According to the article search and rescue was “unsuccessful” so we may assume all hands were lost. However bad, it was their last. I know these aren’t necessarily very fine people or anything, but I mourn what might have been if they didn’t go to the service of a futile and costly invasion.
