Unusual One – Russia Boat Attacked by a Drone in Belgorod, Russia
Video Summary
A Ukrainian drone struck a small boat stationed near a river in Belgorod, Russia, near the border with Ukraine. The drone did not sink the boat, but it hit the engine, disabling it. The boat was positioned at a small pond that leads to the border, rather than a larger waterway where boats like this are commonly used to transport troops and supplies. Satellite imagery from 2023 shows the boat in the same position, indicating it is not operational. It’s unclear why Ukraine targeted this boat, which is not near the area of the 2023 Russian incursion. The boat’s distance from the border and the lack of road access suggest it may have been used to transport troops or supplies for a cross-border raid, but it’s also possible Ukraine targeted the wrong boat or has a vendetta against the owner. The purpose of the drone strike remains a mystery.
