Ukraine destroys “Putin parade boat”.
Ukraine is claiming to have destroyed Vladimir Putin’s special ‘parade boat’, which he uses to inspect his navy.
The dramatic images show a white Raptor-class patrol boat “disappearing” from a bomb dropped by a Bayraktar TB2 drone headed from Ukraine to the Black Sea.
And presumably, the Russian leader used such a boat named 001 for fleet inspections in Sevastopol and St. Petersburg.
He also uses the patrol boat to deliver speeches and conduct military parades.
A Ukraine media reported: “We received information that one of the wrecked Raptor boats in the area of Snake Island was Putin’s parade boat.”
Another Ukrainian report said: “Among its sister ships, the ship is distinguished by its white color.”
