Marine Drones and UAVs Attack Russian Coastguard Base! Many Land Targets Hit, Tunets-class Boat Hit?
Video Summary
A recent Ukrainian military operation, likely carried out by the Ukrainian Marines, targeted a Russian Coast Guard base in Lake Dnieper, Crimea. The joint Marine and UAV strike hit several key targets, including a headquarters, control point, ammunition and equipment warehouse, electrical substation, and technical facilities, as well as enemy firing positions. The attack reportedly damaged several areas of the base but did not result in any major losses to Russian vessels. The Ukrainian military did not report the loss of any Russian warships or large ships, only mentioning the potential destruction of a small Patrol boat, possibly a two-Net class vessel. Russia reportedly carried out naval exercises in the area, but the attack suggests that these exercises were compromised. The use of Marine drones in this operation may have allowed them to bypass ground-based defenses and target key installations without being detected. The incident highlights the growing presence of small Russian vessels in the region and the potential vulnerabilities of Russian naval operations in the Black Sea.
