Details of a new unique special operation by the Security Service of Ukraine have emerged. On the night of December 5-6, a group of Sea Baby maritime drones engaged in a battle with Russian helicopters, planes, and Raptor patrol boats that tried to intercept them.
These water drones were made as a result of a joint fundraiser with UNITED24, monobank, Oleh Horokhovsky, Serhiy Sternenko and Ihor Lachen in February this year.
Sea hunting
“The Russian pilots considered themselves hunters and expected an easy hunt, but they became prey because the maritime drones returned fire,” the SBU press service said.
The newest Sea Babies were equipped with large-caliber machine guns with ballistic programs for automatic targeting and auto-capture.
Intercepted Russian radio communications indicate that there are dead and wounded on board the helicopters. The helicopters themselves were heavily damaged and now require major repairs.
The SBU drones also hit a barge transporting military equipment and equipment to repair the Crimean bridge, which the occupiers are still trying to repair after previous bombings by the Ukrainian special services.
What does Sea Baby provide?
“The Sea Baby is a multi-purpose platform that can accommodate various weapons: multiple launch rocket systems, flying drones and large-caliber machine guns.
“The main thing is that it has once again proved its effectiveness. The results of our work are actually much more than we can show now, but everything has its time,” the SSU 13th Main Directorate of the Military Counterintelligence Department said.
