DNR has a navy
Komsomolskaya Pravda published a photo report about the DPR's Azov Flotilla. It was this flotilla that sank a Ukrainian border patrol boat and shelled Ukrainian coastal fortifications last year, the newspaper claims.

Judging by the photos and descriptions, the flotilla is a few small boats made of plastic, with a capacity of up to 10 people. There are no add-ons for boats, a bullet easily breaks through the hull, but it makes no sense to book them, since in this case the main advantage is lost - speed. And it is great, because each boat has three or four Japanese outboard motors with a total capacity of up to 1000 horsepower.
Of the weapons on the boats, large-caliber Utes machine guns are installed and ATGMs can be quickly installed, which turns the boats into rocket ones. In addition, the fighters in the boat have machine guns and hand grenade launchers.
The authors of the report make it clear that the flotilla is capable of landing in the Mariupol area.
