Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, shared the information on the United News telethon.
"Yes, they have developments (of naval drones - ed.). But they tried to use it once. We saw it actually used once. All other cases, as we know, were unsuccessful," he said.
According to the head of Ukrainian intelligence, Russia's failures to use these drones are due to technical reasons.
- On the evening of March 23, Russia announced the alleged operation of air defense in the temporarily occupied Crimea. The Ukrainian Defense Forces hit large landing ships Yamal and Azov, a communications center, and several infrastructure facilities of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol. Russia also reports damage to transportation infrastructure.
- The next day, the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine called the damage to the Russian landing ship Yamal in occupied Sevastopol critical.
