Ukrainian Navy hit a Russian tugboat in the Black Sea

The naval forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine hit the tugboat of the Russian Black Sea Fleet with the TOR air defense system on board.

According to Ukrinform, this is stated on the Facebook page of the Ukrainian Navy.

“In the Black Sea, the tug of the Black Sea Fleet Vasily Bekh was hit while transporting ammunition, weapons and personnel of the Black Sea Fleet to Snake Island. Even the presence of the TOR2 anti-aircraft missile system on board did not prevent the Naval Forces from demilitarizing the Russian invaders," the Ukrainian Navy said in a statement.

Built at the Astrakhan Shipyard, the Vasily Bekh tug with a displacement of 1,605 tons was accepted into the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in 2017.
