Ukraine's Naval Drone Sinks Russian Warship in Black Sea

Ukrainian forces are believed to have sunk the Russian Ivanovets warship near occupied Crimea in a sophisticated overnight attack using sea drones, demonstrating Kyiv’s expanding power in the Black Sea. The attack, which resulted in the corvette sinking, is seen as a significant blow to Russia's dominance in the region. Ukraine's success in utilizing sea drones and long-range missile attacks has forced Moscow to withdraw the bulk of its Black Sea fleet from Crimea to the Russian mainland. This development showcases Ukraine's growing capabilities in unmanned weapons systems and its ability to avoid being drawn into a positional war with Russia.

Russia Deploys Soviet-Era Aircraft to Counter Black Sea Threats: UK

Western intelligence suggests that Russia is likely using the Be-12 amphibious plane, a decades-old aircraft, to counter the threat posed by Ukraine's sea drones to its Black Sea Fleet. Ukraine has recently increased its assaults on the fleet, including cruise missile strikes and attacks with uncrewed surface vessels. Sea drones have become a challenge for Russia, prompting them to prioritize developing their own naval fleet of drones. Russia's defense ministry is searching for solutions to counter these attacks, and the Be-12 amphibious plane is seen as a key asset for maritime air patrol operations in identifying and countering sea drones.
