“ Our Armed Forces already have an enemy cruiser, several boats, and now a support ship has been added. I am sure that our military will add a frigate, a corvette and a large landing craft. And we can say that we have created a kind of submarine brigade of ships in the Russian Black Sea Fleet at the bottom of the Black Sea , "Marchenko said.
Ukrainian defense forces struck at a Russian tugboat carrying weapons and ammunition to the captured Snake Island.
This was reported by the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On board the tug was an anti-aircraft missile system SAM " TOR ". It is designed to solve the problems of air and missile defense.

The Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov commented on this event as follows:
There is a popular toast among Rammstein Group ministers: “Down to the Russian Navy! Up to the bottom! ” Neptune protects the Black Sea in good company. We are looking for the next goal together with the sea horse, - he wrote in his Twitter.
We assume that the Minister of Defense hints that the enemy tug was hit by the Neptune missile system.
