The announcement was supplemented by a grainy black-and-white video recording of an aerial explosion on a small military ship.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Valery Zaluzhny, has indicated that the attack used Turkish unmanned “Bayraktar” aircraft.
Raptor-class patrol vessels typically carry up to three crew members and can carry 20 soldiers. Conventional vessels are equipped with vending machines and are used for reconnaissance or landing operations.
Snake Island has become a symbol of Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s invasion after a radio recording hit the world in the early days of the war, in which Ukrainian soldiers strongly rejected a Russian warship’s demand to surrender.
The warship “Moscow”, which the defenders of Snake Island refused to surrender, sank in the Black Sea in mid-April. Although Moscow insists the ship sank due to an explosion on board, Ukraine claims that the Russian flagship sank with accurate missile hits.
