ISTANBUL — A Russian naval intelligence ship sank Thursday after colliding with a merchant freighter in the Black Sea near Istanbul, the Turkish coast guard said. All 78 crew members on the Russian vessel were rescued.
The crew of the freighter, a Togo-flagged ship traveling from Romania to Jordan and carrying 8,800 sheep, was unharmed and the ship suffered slight damage to its bow, according to local media reports.
In Moscow, Russia's Defense Ministry issued a statement confirming that the vessel, the Liman, went down after the collision tore a hole in the hull below the waterline.

8800 sheep being transported from Romania to Jordan.It should be against the law to move animals,knowing that they will be used for immoral purposes.

so the freight ship is fine but the Russian ship sank. Not very impressive showing for the Russian Navy.

Did Turkey want to sink the Russian intelligence ship, and so had a “freighter” ram the boat?
