Buried and Buried: Networks showed Russian SIG tanker after a drone stroke (video)

The camera shows a hole in the right board of the ship below the waterline. The visible diameter of the hole is about one meter. Around - the surface of the board, blackened from a possible fire. It is also evident that several people work on the tanker deck. Note that SIG tanker was injured on the night of August 5. According to the Russian authorities, it was attacked by a sea drone, filled with explosives.

As a result of the drone, the ship received a hole near the waterline near the machine compartment. It is assured that none of the Russians died, they are only injured. There is also an assumption that the damage obtained is serious enough - it can not move. The estimated place of impact is 45 ° 01'1 "N 036 ° 31'7" E, for 25 km - the Crimean bridge. Later, the SBU was hinted that Ukrainian special services could stand on the attack of the sea drone.

In particular, the head of the SBU Vasyl Malyuk stated that the situation is logical: Ukraine has every right to act in its own territorial waters near the Crimea. SIG - oil tanker of Russia, 161 m long, 6 m wide, 6 m high. The load capacity in the sea is 5. 8 thousand tons. OSINT investigators investigated the route of the ship-it had regular flights to Syria, supplied aviation fuel. Since 2019, the ship has been under US sanctions.

It should be noted that before the attack on SIG the sea drones attacked the port of Novorossiysk. As a result of the attack, the landing ship "Olengorsky Hrynyak" was injured - he received a hole, then he was towed ashore. We remind that Ukrainian inventors presented the Magura V5 sea drone at the military equipment in Turkey. According to the inventors, it is capable of carrying an explosive weighing up to 300 kg.
