Timeline
Oryx's Russian equipment-loss list for the full-scale invasion records one BMK-130M/BMK-150 towing motor boat as captured.

The BMK-130M family is documented in the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War through Russian equipment-loss tracking. Oryx lists one Russian BMK-130M/BMK-150 towing and motor boat as captured in its inventory of Russian losses during the full-scale invasion.
The published loss entry supports Russian use and capture of the BMK-130M/BMK-150 family, but it does not separate the BMK-130M from the closely related BMK-150 identification or provide a public unit, location, or capture date for that hull.

The available public record gives a broad wartime milestone rather than an incident-level chronology. Oryx's full-scale-invasion loss list records a captured Russian BMK-130M/BMK-150 among engineering-equipment losses after Russia's February 2022 invasion.

The BMK-130M is not an armed combat craft in the cataloged source set. FleetPhoto describes the BMK-130, BMK-130M, and BMK-130ML type as a steel-hulled diesel towing boat used to tow small craft and towing crossings, with the BMK-130M identified as the main model.
In the Russia-Ukraine War record, that role places the captured boat in the engineer-mobility category: a support vessel for moving pontoons, ferries, anchors, or other river-crossing equipment. The conflict-use source proves a captured Russian BMK-130M/BMK-150-family boat, while the vessel reference explains why such boats matter to crossing and bridging work.
