Supposedly this following message (translated) was accompanying the most recent post:

"Hello fellow FB! The crew of the large landing craft "Caesar Kunikov" repelled the attack of the BECs with all available forces and means, the battle lasted 20 minutes. Of the 10 BECs, 4 were destroyed. The 5th BEC hit the Central Committee BDK in the stern, thereby immobilizing the ship, after which 6,7,8,9, BECs in turn, hit the BDK on the port side in the midship area (middle) and closer to the stern, with the purpose of capsizing the vessel (from the entry of a large amount of water from one side). The 9th BEC partially entered the hole made by the previous BEC and detonated almost inside. The BDK could no longer be saved (the list was rapidly increasing, the ship was lying on the left side). From the moment the enemy BECs were discovered and the start of the battle, until the BDK was completely flooded, a little more than 40 minutes passed. The crew of the BDK left the ship on life rafts, without loss of personnel, and evacuated all secret documentation and part of the secret equipment with weapons. The last 10th BEC conducted observation (recording) of the dying ship until the sinking, after which the 10th BEC tried to attack the tug accompanying the BDK Caesar Kunikov, but was destroyed by the PDSS group on board."

"At the moment, the crew are being made into cowards and scoundrels. I have removed the sound from the video, but I am sure that the command has it in full. There is a fight there, according to the best behests of our grandfathers.

Personally, I saw the clear work of the team working until the last minute. The crew, I think, at a minimum, deserves not to be made into villains."

They definitely made an effort there. I think they should at least be given a participation trophy.
