A sunken Russian patrol ship of the "Tarantul" type was discovered in the temporarily occupied Sevastopol at the Graf Bay dock.

This was reported by the military-partisan movement “ATESH”.

Agents of “ATESH” identified a sunken border patrol ship of the project 205P “Tarantul” during reconnaissance of vessels in Sevastopol. It is located at the Graf Bay dock at the following coordinates: 44.615763, 33.587110.

Partisans suggest that the ship was likely sunk during the drone attacks on Russian occupiers’ military facilities that took place a few weeks ago.

About the “Tarantul” patrol ship:

“Tarantul” is a border patrol ship of project 205P, one of the types of Soviet patrol boats. It was developed in the mid-1960s based on missile boats of project 205. Technical specifications of the ship include:

  • Length: 39.94 meters
  • Speed: 35.6 knots
  • Crew: 30 people

Recall that on the night of December 26, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a missile strike on the port of Feodosia in occupied Crimea. During the attack, a large landing ship of the Black Sea Fleet, “Novocherkassk,” was hit. After this, two more Russian ships left the bay of Feodosia.

Later, the enemy surrounded the central district of the city of Feodosia. There, they intensified checks of locals on the streets, with occupiers searching for informants.

In total, Ukrainian forces have destroyed over 20% of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the last 4 months. This includes two ships sunk by cruise missile strikes, as well as several ships damaged or sunk due to attacks by Ukrainian boats and torpedoes.
