How Ukrainian naval drones hit Russian ships from Sevastopol to Novorossiysk (video)
The destruction of the large amphibious assault ship Olenegorskiy Gornyak near Novorossiysk on August 4 demonstrates that Russia has nowhere to hide its fleet in the Black Sea. This is not the first time a Ukrainian naval surface drone has hit a “Russian warship” – similar operations have been conducted by the Ukrainian special services and the Navy since last fall.
October 29, 2022, Sevastopol Bay: Admiral Makarov and Ivan Golubets vessels
Ukrainian naval drones reach Sevastopol Bay and hit the Admiral Makarov frigate. This fact is confirmed by video from the drone and external cameras.
The naval minesweeper Ivan Golubets was also damaged. The attack was carried out with the help of 9 airborne drones and 7 naval drones.
Here you see the explosion.

“Admiral Makarov is armed with universal launchers capable of launching 8 Kalibr or Oniks missiles
May 24, 2023, Black Sea, reconnaissance ship “Ivan Khurs”
Three maritime drones attacked the Ivan Hurs reconnaissance ship in Turkey’s economic zone in the Black Sea, 140 kilometers from the Bosphorus Strait. Apparently, the Russians managed to destroy one of the drones, but there is video of another one reaching the port side of the ship. Judging by the fact that the Russians published a fake video of the ship’s return, dated 2021, the damage did occur.
“The Ivan Khurs is equipped with a bridge electronic positioning, localization, detection and orientation system and a system for ensuring electronic compatibility of radar reconnaissance and navigation stations, anti-aircraft artillery and missile control systems and mutual information exchange.
On June 11, 2023, the reconnaissance ship Priazovia
The attack on the ship was reported by the Russian media. Of course, they claimed that all six drones were shot down. As evidence, they published a video that shows signs of editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, so we can assume that the outcome of the attack is unknown.
