Ukraine's 'Sea Baby' drone has caused a stir in the Black Sea region. The kamikaze drone was successful in damaging a Russian missile hovercraft, the Samum, a Bora-class vessel. The Samum had to be towed into Sevastopol harbour with a 'large stern trim and starboard roll' according to the Ukrainian SBU intelligence service. Pictures taken show the vessel in dock, evidently concealing 'significant' damage to its starboard side.
The 'Sea Baby' drone is an innovative Ukrainian-made marine drone that is capable of functioning in a storm. It was used to strike the Crimean Bridge, linking Russia to the annexed Black Sea Peninsula. The Samum was attacked close to the entrance of Sevastopol harbour in Crimea, and the Russians admitted the attack, but said it was repelled.
In other Ukrainian attacks, the £250 million Kilo-class attack submarine Rostov-on-Don was rendered inoperable when it was hit in the Sevastopol shipyard. The Russian large landing warship Minsk was also badly damaged in the same dry-dock repair yard.
The Vasily Bykov patrol ship was struck by a kamikaze sea drone, and a video of the attack was released. Putin also lost a Triumf air defence system, costing $1.2 billion, in a drone and Neptune missile attack on Crimea. Ukrainian sources have even claimed that Russia has concealed the deaths of 24 people in the strike.
All in all, the Ukrainian 'Sea Baby' drone has caused a great deal of damage to Putin's vessels in the Black Sea in just three days. The innovative kamikaze drone is proving to be a formidable opponent for the Russians.
