What is known

The naval forces shot down the Russian warship 21631 Buyan-M, which fired missiles at Ukrainian cities. The ship did not sink like the Moskva cruiser in the spring, but it has already been towed back to Russia. For this, two tugs were used. The first - dragged, the second - corrected the course.

21631 Buyan-M is a corvette that can carry up to eight Caliber cruise missiles. The photographs show the process of towing the ship. The pictures were taken in Russia. The corvette was reportedly dragged for two days, with the tactical number and name painted over.

On the left side of the corvette, many holes are visible, which could have been obtained as a result of a bomb or rocket explosion not far from the ship. You can also notice that 21631 Buyan-M lost its mast, but, apparently, it was removed intentionally so that the ship could pass under bridges.
