The invaders raised the Ukrainian armored boat “Lubny” from the bottom/Channel 24 collage
Russian infidels raised the Ukrainian armored boat “Lubny” from the bottom of the sea. It sank during heavy fighting for the port of Mariupol.
Enemy propagandists published a photo of the damaged vessel on May 14th. Channel 24 reports this with a link to publications on the network.
Raised and presented as an incredible achievement
The photographs show that the hull of the armored boat was pierced in several places. It has one large gap, as well as several round holes – probably from being hit by bullets from weapons of large calibers.

In addition to breaking through the side part, there was a shell hit in the control room. After raising the Lubna, sappers began to explore.

It should be noted that the armored boat was sunk at the beginning of the invasion, they began to use it to demonstrate “victories”. This was probably the reason for such an operation, because now they praise this model of an armored boat no worse than their own ships.
None of the Russian pseudo-journalists indicates the date when the ship itself was attacked. However, they say that now it can even be restored. The expediency of such actions is doubtful, but the audience does not look for logic in their words.

Russia sent a large landing ship for repairs
On May 14, it became known that one of the project 775 landing ships was under repair in Sevastopol. There are only 4 of them in service in Russia;
- “Caesar Kunikov”,
- “Novocherkassk”,
- “Yamal”;
- “Azov”.
This vessel has several external damages. They were probably received near Berdyansk. It is important that there were no official messages from the command of the Russian Navy about sending the ship for repairs.
