Soviet reconnaissance ship turned into a super-luxury yacht
It would seem, what can a decommissioned Soviet reconnaissance ship fit for? However, La Sultana Group has found a worthy use for it. The former warship has been transformed into a super-luxury yacht. With its appearance, this ship is not particularly impressive, since all the luxury is hidden inside. The yacht is for sale, and its cost is 25.5 million dollars.
