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."

    This was described as a swarm attack. I didn’t catch how many vessels were involved. Seems like a shitload. And the ship saw them coming too. You can see gunfire throughout the video. Seems like at least 4 or 5 hits, wonder how many more got shot to pieces. Seems like there was nothing the ship could do, simply overwhelmed.
