Either way that’s one less aircraft for the Russians. Bit of an “own goals”, but just the same....

It may appear to be a small vessel to some but a boat like that can carry many tons of food and munitions.

So they destroyed a “rescue vessel” but claim that it’s ok because it allegedly had weapons on it?

I question the propaganda narrative here of the source. This sounds more like Russian disinfo (or at the very least bad writing from the Ukraine)
