On August 5, the Russian warship Vasily Bykov entered the Sevastopol Bay. His side was burned.
On August 4, he suddenly began to release a smoke screen near the occupied Sevastopol, after which he was enveloped in clouds of black smoke.
According to naval expert HI Sutton on the OSINT project, camouflaging the Russian ship with smoke decoys did not help it escape from being hit by a Ukrainian missile.
Correspondents of Krym.Realii noted that what happened to the ship is still unknown.
We are talking about a project 22160 patrol ship of the Vasily Bykov type of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. At 9.30, with the help of tugboats, he was moored near the Chicken Wharf.
