In the attack of Ukrainian drones on the Baltic port and shipyard in Wyborg in the Leningrad region of Russia, a patrol vessel built for the national safety Service (FSB) was damaged," reported the Ukrainian Military Portal today.
Following the attack in local channels on the Telegram, photographs of the attacked ship appeared, which, as a consequence of the damage, turned to another unit – most likely an oceanographic ship of the Russian Navy Deputy Admiral Buriliczov (according to experts who were actually intelligence units). The harm to the ship is unknown.
The ship built in Wyborg is simply a patrol vessel adapted for operations in the Arctic. It was meant to be equipped with FSB, which ordered 2 units of this type. The ship was to be armed with a 76 mm gun, 2 AK-630 anti-aircraft kits with a 30 mm caliber and device guns and anti-aircraft missiles.
Russia reported the drop of 389 Ukrainian drones last night. As a consequence of the Ukrainian attack, a fire broke out in the Russian port of Ust-Ługa on the Baltic Sea.
