The Security Service of Ukraine showed footage from the operation it conducted on the night of December 5-6 in the Kerch Bay using Sea Babu drones. When the Russian occupiers tried to intercept them, the Ukrainian drones suddenly opened fire in return.
According to the SBU, a group of naval drones engaged in a battle with Russian helicopters, airplanes, and Raptor patrol boats that tried to intercept them. These water drones were produced as a result of joint fundraising with UNITED24, monobank, Oleg Horohovskyi, Sergey Sternenko and Igor Lachen in February this year. Then, Ukrainians collected almost UAH 300 million in 36 hours.
«The Russian pilots considered themselves hunters and expected an easy hunt, but they became the prey, because the naval drones opened fire in return,» the SBU reported.
New versions of Sea Baby were equipped with large-caliber machine guns with ballistic programs for automatic guidance and automatic target acquisition. As noted in «Militarnyi», we are talking about a module with a large-caliber machine gun, probably of 12.7 mm caliber.
«Intercepted Russian radio communications indicate that there are dead and wounded on board the helicopters. The helicopters themselves received significant damage and now require major repairs», — the Ukrainian special service claims.
The SBU drones also hit a barge that was transporting military equipment and equipment for the repair of the Crimean bridge, which the occupiers are «still unsuccessfully trying to repair after previous bombings», — the SBU says.
«Sea Baby» is our multi-purpose platform that can host a variety of weapons, from multiple-launch missile systems to flying drones and heavy machine guns. The main thing is that it 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 13th Main Directorate of the Department of Military Counterintelligence of the SBU notes.
Earlier, it became known that the Sea Baby drones were equipped with Grad rocket salvo fire systems.
