The Ukrainian Navy told why Russian ships are sinking without attacks of sea drones (video)

On December 16, a spokesman for the Navy of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces was reported by the captain of the 3rd rank Dmitry Pletenchuk on the air "Public News". According to him, both sunken tankers, each of which are older than 50 years, are river class vessels and are not intended for maritime conditions. However, they were in the sea, despite all the risks. "They are 50 plus years - to each of them. So, as always, the Russians broke everything that could break.

There is still information that detained them in an anchor parking lot longer than planned. But the ship's captain had to take into account all these factors and count All the risks, "Pletenchuk said. The speaker emphasized that for Russia uninterrupted transportation of oil and other fuel and lubricants is a priority, even if it is due to violation of safety standards.

He added that such incidents are far from uncommon: "to throw Russian oil or other fuel and lubricants for them is more important than compliance with civilian navigation safety requirements. This is a constant shutdown of the identification system and not compliance with coastal warning requirements. " Pletenchuk said that this incident would not affect the military logistics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, since in this case it is about exports of Russian oil products.

These ships are loaded on the Volga and then deliver materials to tankers that go out into the ocean for further transportation. We will remind, according to information from open sources, the ship "Volgoneft-212" was built in 1969. Initially, it was a regular tanker, but in the 1990s it was processed under river navigation. On December 15, two Russian tankers-"Volgoneft-212" and "Volgoneft-239" were sank near the Kerch Strait.
