Sea Baby maritime drones have been practicing on Russian helicopters and airplanes in the Kerch Bay. The Security Service of Ukraine showed a video of the special operation, Komersant ukrainskyi reports.
On the night of December 6, a group of SBU maritime drones engaged Russian helicopters, planes and Raptor patrol boats that tried to intercept them.
“The Russian pilots considered themselves hunters and expected an easy hunt, but they became prey because the maritime drones returned fire,” the statement said.
The newest Sea Babies were equipped with large-caliber machine guns with ballistic programs for automatic targeting and auto-capture.
According to the SBU, 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.
Also, SBU drones hit a barge carrying military equipment and equipment to repair the Kerch Bridge, which the occupiers are still trying to put in order after previous explosions.
The SBU noted that these water drones were manufactured through a joint fundraiser with UNITED24, monobank, Oleh Horokhovsky, Serhiy Sternenko and Ihor Lachenkov in February 2024.
Also, the 13th Main Directorate of the SBU Department of Military Counterintelligence noted that the results of Sea Baby’s work are actually much more than can be shown now, “but everything in its time.”
