“The fastest in the Black Sea”: SBU shows new maritime drone that destroys Russian fleet for the first time
For the first time, the SBU said that they have not only Sea Baby drones, but also Mamai drones. It is noted that they are the fastest object in the Black Sea.
LIGA.net’s interlocutor in law enforcement provided photos of the devices and described the practice of their use.
The SBU spoke about the development of surface drones in a TSN TV story, but the source provided some details to LIGA.net.
The more famous Sea Baby, as noted by SBU Head Vasyl Malyuk, attacked the Crimean bridge and other enemy targets.
“This is not just a naval drone, but a targeted platform that is being effectively used today,” he emphasized.
The TV story says that due to successful attacks by naval drones, Ukraine “has actually changed the philosophy of naval operations.”
In October 2022, SBU maritime drones attacked enemy ships in Sevastopol Bay. Four warships were damaged, including the frigate Admiral Makarov.
Already in 2023, SBU drones hit the Samum and Pavel Derzhavin missile ships, the SIG tanker, the Olenegorskiy Gornyak landing ship, and damaged the Mykola Mura large military tug and the newest reconnaissance hydrographic vessel, the Volodymyr Kozitsky.
