New satellite images of Snake Island show that the Russians have placed at least 15 pieces of equipment on them. Photos by Planet.com and Maxar published OSINT blogger Tim Ehrhart. It is also seen that there is a floating crane near the island’s pier. There are several ships nearby.

The Southern Operational Command reported that the Russians are attempting to conduct rescue and removal operations near Zmiiny Island to bring the affected Raptor landing speedboat out of the water.

It is noted that after the Raptor is upgraded, the delivery of Donuzlav to the base is planned. Photos published by Planet.com and Maxar are dated May 28, 2022. It will be recalled that these are not the first reports of occupants’ attempts to lift a sunken boat. Obviously, the work is still in progress.

On May 7-8, the Ukrainian Defense Forces launched a series of attacks on Snake Island. In particular, the landing craft was destroyed, up to 5 Raptor speedboats, Mi-8 helicopters with the landing craft were destroyed, and the infrastructure of the island was destroyed. Source
