On May 17, the Russian Ministry of Defense released video footage showing the destruction of several Ukrainian seaborne suicide drones in the Black Sea.
The ministry said that the drones were intercepted by patrol boats and helicopters from the Russian Navy’s Black Sea Fleet. The footage released by the ministry showed at least five drones being destroyed by heavy machine gun fire.
15 Ukrainian seaborne suicide drones were destroyed while heading to the Crimean Peninsula on May 16, and at least six others met the same fate the following day.
The second wave coincided with a large-scale Ukrainian attack with more than 100 aerial suicide drones that targeted infrastructure in Crimea and the regions of Krasnodar, Belgorod and Kursk. In addition, earlier in the week Kiev forces launched two strikes with tactical ballistic missiles against Belbek Air Base in the Peninsula.
By intensifying attacks on Crimea and other regions, the Kiev regime is clearly attempting to make for the recent defeats of its forces.
The latest blow to Ukraine was the Russian offensive in the Kharkiv region, where Kiev forces lost control of some 12 settlements.
The recent Ukrainian attacks will not likely go without a response by the Russian military, who could launch another series of missiles and drone strikes against military and energy infrastructure in the country very soon.

what is the point of such drones anyway? to damage old ships (already on pension for years) or fisher boats? lol nazi pigs so stupid
looks like they wish to force modernization of black sea fleet. new boats like “alexandrit” mine sweeper or electronic warfare boat “ivan hurs” destroys unmanned boats easily with 6×30-mm gun, because of new sights. https://u.to/pnwvia
good joke. and putin is the sponsor for both sides?
you are stupist yourself if you dont see the results are there.
jensi, oh jensi, my beloved husband. the guest just cumed, come clean the load from my ass

pooh-tin shit in his little pants again…heheheh
how’s krusty the klown of kiev getting along these days? bathing in the glow of ukrainian victories? funny, funny stuff, all those dead ukrainians, right?
it’s interesting how someone manages to twist a text that has nothing to do with the article and is completely contrary to reality. day after day. crocus probably do anything for money…
crocus is a hasbare troll. take no attention on him and he will stop hisself .
its infantile child or a service dog in speed.
all the boys having fun. the little britishers with their toy boats. the russkies chasing them and getting some machine gun target practise.
early detection and helicopters can be one way to combat usv. all kinds of ideas have been thrown around here, from bumpers to ships. however, an accurate weapon and early identification are the most effective and cheapest solution. when the drones can’t get there anymore. they are no longer worth using them.
sometimes its more important what the rest did.
never important dumb dane
good to see my advice worked to use the same method as the us navy against japanese kamikaze airplanes. also the black see fleet should only sail in convoys to create this concentrated fire and avoid surprises.
this is 22mm double auto cannon. apaches having 30mm, single auto cannon.
mistype? there is no such caliber. guns are starting from 20 mm, then 23, 27, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 mm automatic guns of low caliber. ka-29 has integrated 4-barreled gshg-7,62 machine gun. vk.com/video-149543490_456239064
in potato nation 404 normal to worship money and be stupid–
russian no like our pig normal
wait those fast track boats don’t have some lock on missiles like on-ground shooting targets, let’s say like javelin style, cuz having a weapon as javelin u can lock on that boat and shoot it even from a chopper. don’t the russians have some similar weaponry instead of shooting it with rpk 200 bullets to destroy those boats???
