It is noticeable that the explosion pulled a considerable piece of the body and damaged the equipment inside. The author commented on what he saw. In particular, he denied the assumption that the size of the hole was 3 by 3 meters. In his opinion - there are all 8 by 8 meters. He also stated that "the machine compartment was completely torn.

" It should be noted that the network has published information on the physical size of the Russian tanker SIG. It is indicated that it has a height of the board - 6. 55 m. Therefore, the diameter of the hole cannot be 8 by 8 meters, as the operator, which was recorded.

On the night of August 4 to 5, the ship attacked a sea drone: the device with explosives crashed into board in the area of ​​the machine compartment. The place of attack-25-30 km from the Crimean bridge. At the time of attack, the ship was empty, so there was no spill in the Black Sea.

The video also shows a hole, but not in full - it was partially hidden underwater. SBU Chairman Vasyl Malyuk stated that Ukraine has the right to act in the Black Sea at its own discretion: he said that it was quite logical.
