Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) revealed details of a successful underwater drone attack that disabled a Russian Kilo-class submarine in Novorossiysk, aided by the destruction of a Russian reconnaissance aircraft, highlighting vulnerabilities in Russia's military infrastructure.
Ukraine's security service detailed how it used a drone with an airburst warhead to disable a Russian Sea Dragon reconnaissance aircraft, laying the groundwork for a subsequent attack on a Russian submarine in the Black Sea, highlighting advancements in Ukraine's military tactics and technology.
The Ukrainian Security Service revealed that the destruction of a Russian submarine in Novorossiysk was facilitated by the elimination of a Russian Il-38N anti-submarine aircraft, which posed a threat to Ukraine's naval operations. The aircraft was targeted at Yeysk airbase, enabling Ukraine's naval drone to successfully attack the submarine undetected, highlighting vulnerabilities in Russian military infrastructure.
Ukraine's Security Service claims to have used an underwater drone, 'Sub Sea Baby,' to damage a Russian submarine at Novorossiysk, with footage from compromised enemy cameras showing the attack, marking a historic first in underwater drone warfare.
Ukraine reportedly used a new unmanned underwater drone, 'Sub Sea Baby,' to strike and likely damage a Russian Improved Kilo-class submarine at Novorossiysk naval base, marking a significant escalation in Black Sea maritime conflict and highlighting vulnerabilities in Russian naval defenses.
Ukraine claimed to have used underwater drones to damage a Russian Kilo-class submarine docked in a Black Sea port, marking the first publicly acknowledged use of this new Ukrainian weapon technology, though Russia denied the vessel was damaged.
Ukraine's SBU claims to have used underwater drones to strike and disable a Russian Kilo-class submarine in the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, marking the first such attack of its kind, amid ongoing tensions and diplomatic efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
Ukraine reportedly destroyed a Russian submarine using an underwater drone, highlighting ongoing military tensions between the two countries amid broader geopolitical developments.
A Russian nuclear-capable submarine, Novorossiysk, experienced a serious malfunction in the Mediterranean, with fuel leaking into the hold and posing an explosion risk, raising fears of a disaster similar to the Kursk incident.
Photos reveal a significant hole in the hull of a Russian submarine that was damaged in a Ukrainian missile attack on the Sevastopol Shipyard in Crimea. The submarine, identified as the Rostov-on-Don, is expected to require extensive repairs that could take years and cost millions of dollars. The attack also damaged another vessel, the Minsk. British intelligence suggests that the Minsk has likely been functionally destroyed, while the Rostov submarine has suffered catastrophic damage. The loss of the Rostov-on-Don removes one of the Black Sea Fleet's cruise-missile capable submarines, impacting Russia's ability to project power in the region. Ukraine's attack on Crimea is seen as part of preparatory measures before attempting to liberate the peninsula.
