“This is not just a naval drone, but a multi-purpose platform that is being effectively used today,” said SBU head Vasily Malyuk.

The SBU press service recalled that thanks to successful attacks, the SBU has actually changed the philosophy of conducting military -sea. operations. In October 2022, SBU naval drones attacked enemy ships in Sevastopol Bay. Then four military vessels were damaged, including the frigate Admiral Makarov.

And this year, drones of the Security Service hit the Samum and Pavel Derzhavin rocket carriers, the SIG tanker, the landing ship Olenegorsky Gornyak, and also damaged the large military tug “Nikolai Muru” and the newest reconnaissance and hydrographic ship “Vladimir Kozitsky”. The SBU noted that the Crimean Bridge is a legitimate target of the Defense Forces.
