According to the report, the small missile ship "Vyshny Volochok", a Project 21631 " Buyan-M " class vessel belonging to the 41st Brigade of Missile Ships and Boats, crashed into a tanker in early August while fleeing from Ukrainian naval drones. According to Defense Express, the Russians attempted to conceal the damage to the ship as a result of this non-combat incident, but documents have surfaced online confirming the ship's collision with the tanker. Citing documents, the publication noted that the incident occurred in the Temryuk Bay of the Sea of Azov on August 7. The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel published a diagram of the maneuvers of the small missile ship "Vyshny Volochok" during the collision with the tanker "Nazan." The publication's analysts noted the following nuance: according to the leaked report, due to the detection of a group of drones in the sky, likely Ukrainian, the ship was ordered to turn back to port. Just six minutes later, the ship "Vyshny Volochek" collided with the tanker "Nazan" on its port side - the incident was determined to be "an accident related to ship control."Analysts noted that the documents speak of deformation of the hull and hull structures.

What a waste of resources. That Russian ship was badly damaged and may not be able to serve again. It is one of the resources of Russia considered best, but unfortunately, it crashed.
