Ukraine's Naval Strikes Deal Blow to Russian Fleet

TL;DR Summary
The Ukrainian navy has deployed unmanned surface vehicles, known as "Sea Babies," to target Russian ships in the Black Sea. These drone boats, equipped with explosives, utilize tactics such as surrounding and attacking at night to inflict damage on Russian vessels. In a recent attack, a trio of Sea Babies targeted the Black Sea Fleet’s Ropucha-class landing ship Caesar Kunikov, resulting in its sinking. The Ukrainian navy's successful use of drone boats has led to the sinking of two Ropuchas and a Tarantul-class corvette, demonstrating their effectiveness in naval warfare.
