Ukrainian Sea Baby drone hits Russian Samum missile ship

Ukrainian media outlets Censor.NET, Channel 24, and RBC-Ukraine reported this with reference to their own sources in the State Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).

According to the sources, the SBU Sea Baby experimental drone attacked the Russian Samum missile ship near Sevastopol Bay. It hit the rear right side of the Russian vessel, causing significant damage, and the ship lost its movement.

Now the Russian occupiers have towed the Samum away for repairs. At the time, the Russian vessel was tilted and also had a roll to starboard.

The Sea Baby experimental marine drone operates even in a storm and is difficult to detect behind high waves. In particular, during the operation, the waves were 1.5-2 meters high.

• On the night of September 13, a massive missile attack took place on a shipyard in Sevastopol. As a result, two ships were damaged. Russia accuses Ukraine of the attack. Ukrainian intelligence confirms that a large amphibious assault ship and a Russian submarine were hit.

• On September 14, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck at two Project 22160 patrol ships of the Vasily Bykov type of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
